• 2021/12/30: new binaries attached this pre-release today incorporate all currently known release-blocking issues. The mlr version output now shows 6.0.0-rc to indicate this is a release candidate. I hope to release this very soon, barring any new feedback.

Note that the source tar file attached to this pre-release predates these performance improvements -- if you want binaries, they're current on this pre-release; if you want source, please clone HEAD.
