R help - May 2010 - packages on R 2.11

Dear users,

I've noticed some time ago that some of the packages I use (especially 
doBy) could not run (yet) on R 2.11. So I kept on using R 2.10.
But I think it should be fine by now.

So my question is how do I check whether a package is compatible with 
the last version of R? How can I check whether it works perfectly or 
whether there are still some bugs to be fixed?

I could ask the maintainer of each package, but I was thinking of a 
website or something referencing it.

Thanks for your help!
Ivan
