similar to: R NEWS change related to .C/.Call/.External/.Fortran

Hi! Thanks for this service! It is very helpful to know what is being developed. I distribute the content to other venues and I noticed some times that the updates are duplicated. For example, the sentence "?is.R()? is deprecated as no other S dialect is known to be in use (and this could only identify historical dialects, not future ones)." is duplicated in different days: Day 1:

Announcing CRANberries -- An RSS feed about New and Updated CRAN packages A new RSS feed [1] is now available that summarizes uploads to CRAN. This makes it possibly to quickly obtain concise information about which (of the now over one thousand !!) packages were added or updated at CRAN and its mirrors. To this end, two basic variants are provided: - a feed for new packages where we display

Greetings. 2.15.0 added this behavior http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2012/03/29#n2012-03-29 o Passing R objects other than atomic vectors, functions, lists and environments to .C() is now deprecated and will give a warning. Most cases (especially NULL) are actually coding errors. NULL will be disallowed in future. This seems to make sense,

Years ago Duncan set up a nightly job to feed RSS based off changes to NEWS, borrowing some setup parts from CRANberries as for example the RSS 'compiler'. That job is currently showing the new \I{...} curly protection in an unfavourable light. Copying from the RSS reader I had pointed at this since the start [1], for today I see (indented by four spaces) CHANGES IN R-devel

On this feed, which I think is the place we should monitor upcoming changes: http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS What is the significance of the green and pink highlighting? Thanks, Bryan

Hi: The "Daily News about R-devel/NEWS" webpage at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS seems to not be updating. As of today, the latest entry is Tue, 14 Apr 2020. Thanks. Jen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I was browsing some recent R news at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2016/01/03#n2016-01-03 And reading this item: "tapply() has been made considerably more efficient without changing functionality, thanks to proposals from Peter Haverty and Suharto Anggono. (PR#16488)" But I found that the link in the item goes to a page about the GUI, not tapply:

The news feeds (e.g. https://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS) have some stray "\abbr" floating around. Do they need generating with a more recent version of R-devel? I've run tools::Rd2txt on https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/doc/NEWS.Rd and r85550 does seem to remove these abberations (compared to the same function calling on an unpatched 4.3.2 where they

Duncan's 'R changes' feed at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel showed a steady flow of bugfixes and patches in 2.8.0 yet http://developer.r-project.org/ is silent on the topic. Is there any expectation of a point release before 2.9.0 rolls around in April? Cheers, Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.

Congrats on getting 2.15.2 out on schedule. Debian builds have been uploaded. It is my understanding that Phil's patch for the X11 logo -- so promimently featured as the first item in the NEWS file for the release -- offers more when two extra files are supplied. I have supplied these for the Debian test release, for our 2.15.1-* releases and again now. We install these files as

I think we should all be careful about suggesting work for other people. This would be a huge amount of work, probably hundreds of hours

As described here, "Markdown will... perform a bit of randomized decimal and hex entity-encoding to help obscure your address from address-harvesting spambots" on automatic email address links like <rwhe at ludism.org>. http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink I have had a problem with my RSS feed for months, where certain entries would refresh every hour or
