L.S. I noticed the NEWS file as made available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS became inconsistent in describing CHANGES for a new R version: $ wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS $ cat NEWS | grep 'CHANGES IN ' CHANGES IN 3.2.0: CHANGES IN R 3.1.3: CHANGES IN R 3.1.2: CHANGES IN R 3.1.1: CHANGES IN R 3.1.0: CHANGES IN R 3.0.3: CHANGES IN R 3.0.2: CHANGES IN R 3.0.1: CHANGES IN R 3.0.0: Not a big issue, obviously, but we were parsing the file as part of a build procedure. Best, Tobias

I thought it had been fixed before release, but apparently not. Please do check the 3.2.1 pre-release versions (starting Monday) and make sure they work with your tools. Duncan
Many thanks, Duncan. We will check the prerelease versions of R 3.2.1.
