The R Processor is extremely key to our community.

We need a 3 pronged approach to this:

1) we need to update the R docs to make it clear that we support version 2.4.0

2) we consider a change to taverna to provide a sensible error message to state that 2.4.0 is the version we support (so it's clear if someone hits this issue).

3) we monitor the community to see whether people have started to use 2.5.1 and can then put effort in to updating the R processor.

Assigned to Franck at this stage to update the documentation in time for 1.6. Can you then assign it to Stian to put in simple change 2 in scope for the 1.6 release and then Stian, please assign it back to the "T2 guideline"

The generated script for fetching the variables from R was:

list(a=a, b=b, )

which no longer works in R 2.5:

> list(a=a, b=b, )
the part of the args list of 'list' being evaluated was:
(a = a, b = b, )
Error: element 3 is empty

while removing the last comma fixes the issues. No longed need a warning box about 2.5.

Documentation did not reflect that we had fixed this. Franck will update the docs.
