Hi,

**opalr** package (that does the R connection to Opal) version 1.5.0 is available from CRAN.

This release offers many system management functions for making the data harmonization in R easier (data upload, data dictionary update, taxonomies, projects, tables/views, resources and permissions management) and for DataSHIELD developers (R/DataSHIELD packages management). See release note of [1.5.0](https://github.com/obiba/opalr/releases/tag/1.5.0).

Regards  
Yannick

Hi,

**opalr** package 1.5.1 was released yesterday to fix a minor issue (case there is no DataSHIELD configuration at all, very unlikely to happen but was reported recently).

**DSI** package 1.1.1 was released as well to fix a minor issue with the `datashield.pkg_status()` function (that retrieves and compares the installed DS packages (with version) for each of the DataSHIELD server nodes).

Cheers  
Yannick
