R devel - Jan 2006 - unexported symbols in libR.so of r-devel

Thanks to Matthias Burger, I came to know that in r-devel, a lot of symbols
are no longer exported in libR.so, which breaks the package rpvm since it
calls these functions in serialize.c.

R_InitInPStream
R_InitOutPStream

Since the change is fairly recent (earlier this month), I guess the core team
will be making further changes.  In any case, please add these two to the
exported list.

Thanks,

Michael

They are hidden.  Since they are in Rinternals.h, this was unintentional,
although they are not part of R's declared API and so are at risk (see 
Writing R Extensions).

Just remove 'attribute_hidden' (which I have done in the sources)

No more changes are planned.
