JAGS 5.0.0-beta is now available from SourceForge.
The beta release is for two groups of people:
- People who have written software depending on JAGS, in particular authors of R packages that depend on one of the four interfaces between R and JAGS – rjags, runjags, R2jags, and jagsUI. Currently some of these packages do not pass the CRAN tests with the new version of JAGS. Some time to fix these problems before the official release is helpful.
- Anyone who wants to try out the new version and find problems with it before the official release.
Please send feedback via the JAGS forums or file a bug report
The JAGS library
The following packages are available:
- Source tarball
- Windows binary installer (x86_64)
- macOS binary installer
- There is a single macOS installer for both x86_64 and arm64.
The rjags package
In order to interface to JAGS 5.0.0 from R you will need rjags_5-1. This is not yet available from CRAN because some of the reverse dependencies do not yet work with version 5.0.0 of JAGS. The following packages are provided:
- Source tarball
- Windows binary (x86_64)
- macOS binaries
- Separate binaries are provided for x86_64 and arm64 and for R version 4.5.3 and 4.6.0.
