[datatable-help] RecordLinkage, randomNames and data.table 1.7.8

[Andreas Borg]

Dear Prof. Ripley,

the data.table maintainers are not to blame, they sent a message to
maintainers of packages with dependencies.

In our case (RecordLinkage), we use R-Forge to submit new versions,
which brings some delay as we have to wait for the daily build. I will
submit the neccessary update as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvinience,

Andreas Borg
