This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
The use of Perl configuration variables for R CMD check (as previously documented in 'Writing R Extensions') is deprecated and will be removed in R 2.12.0. Use the environment variables documented in 'R Internals' instead.
The postscript() and pdf() devices will now allow 'lwd' values less than 1 (they used to force such values to be 1).
