R devel - Sep 2015 - Has the changelog for R-devel and R-patched moved?

Hello.

There used to be changelog of sorts for R-devel [1] and R-release [2].
Neither have been updated since 2015-07-24. Have these moved
elsewhere, or are they no longer being updated?

Thank you,

Avi

They haven't moved, but occasionally the updates get broken.  Thanks for
the heads up.  I'll give the process a kick.

Presumably, something that used to happen daily on the hosting machine (or
elsewhere) isn't happening any more....

If the functionality is easily restored, it will probably be restored soon; if
not, probably somewhat later.

Meanwhile, the link to the latest NEWS file (one line above!) appears to be
up-to-yesterday's date.

Yes, understood. The reason the changlog is prefereable is that the
NEWS is cumulative, and does not indicate changes between
R-patched_2015-08-26 and R-patched_2015-08-27. Whereas more
information can be gleaned from the changelog entries.


Obviously, this is of very low priority, and if the server refuses to
acknowledge Dr. Murdoch's well-placed steel-toe reminders, getting it
restarted should be deferred as long as is necessary. 8-)

Thank you,
