Bleeding Edge

You can, however, download the tar ball, and run R CMD INSTALL on it, or use the devtools package to install the development version:

# install.packages("devtools")
 
library(devtools)
install_github("bmp", "jefferis")

Note: Windows users need Rtools and devtools to install this way.
