The final release of the 5.1.x series on the way to 5.2 (the next stable
17
distribution). ESS is a GNU Emacs and XEmacs mode for interactive
18
statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported: the
19
S family (S 3/4, S-PLUS 3/4/5/6, and R), SAS, XLispStat, Stata and BUGS.

ESS grew out of the desire for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode and
22
SAS-mode as well as a consistent union of their features in one package.
