A general description is here.
Input from the Rgui console was changing the letter 255 (ÿÿ in Latin-2) in the character set to letter 1.
The HTML package index was not constructed properly when the library path was specified with backslashes. (Patch submitted by Gabor Grothendieck.)

Rcmd INSTALL once again uses --no-restore, for consistency with the Unix version and R 2.9.2.
'Rcmd open' now works as documented: previously 'Rcmd open.exe' was required.
cat(x, file=) in Rgui tried to interpret UTF-8-encoded strings for the console rather than converting them to the native encoding.
The installer did not properly record help type choices in R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site.

'Rcmd open' now work as documented: previously 'Rcmd open.exe' was required.
The remaining Perl scripts build, check, Rprof, Sd2Rd in R_HOME/bin now have extension .pl.
Rcmd (or R CMD) can now run .sh (shell) and .pl (Perl) scripts anywhere on the path (as well as .bat and .exe files as before).
Help in base and recommended packages is no longer zipped: text,
HTML, latex and examples files are now built when needed.
Options --use-zip and --use-zip-help in R CMD INSTALL are no longer available and --auto-zip only zips data (or not).
Help in packages installed under 2.9.x may not work correctly, and a warning is given when such a package is attached by library(). Re-installation of all packages is advised (use update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE)).
Binary packages are installed without CHM help if they contain it (as those intended for 2.9.x may).
