- | I am excited to announce the official (i.e., CRAN) release of version 4.0-0 of the metafor package. This will be the 30th update to the package after its initial release in 2009. Since then, the package has grown from a measly 4460 lines of code / 60 functions / 76 pages of documentation to a respectable 36879 lines of code / 330 functions / 347 pages of documentation.
