The build system rolled up R-4.4.2.tar.gz (codename "Pile of Leaves")
this morning.
This is a minor update, with a few bug fixes.
The list below details the changes in this release.
You can get the source code from
https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.2.tar.gz
https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.2.tar.xz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you.
Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.
(The Mac binaries will be delayed for a couple of days because the maintainer is
traveling.)
For the R Core Team,

CHANGES IN R 4.4.2:
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
* The S-compatibility macros F77_COM and F77_COMDECL defined in
header R_ext/RS.h are deprecated and will be removed shortly. We
could find no record of their use.
BUG FIXES:
* Mathlib function lgammacor(x) no longer warns about underflow to
zero for large x.
* Text widths and heights were incorrectly reported by the Quartz
device if the drawing context didn't exist yet (typically when
drawing off-screen to a window that is yet to appear, see
PR#18591).
* The Quartz device could segfault in cases where paths with spaces
are used in the new glyph drawing API. Thanks to Tomek
Gieorgijewski (PR#18758).
* On macOS in R CRAN builds, it is again possible to read
little-endian UTF-16 text with a BOM from a connection using
encoding="UTF-16". Users building R from source should avoid
using the system libiconv in macOS 14.1 and later.
* methods' internal .requirePackage() now re-enables primitive
method dispatch when needed; thanks to Ivan Krylov for
demystifying CRAN package check failures on the R-devel mailing
list.
