A general description is here.
Building badly-written vignettes which used the default device
(‘pdf(file = "Rplots.pdf")’ could leave the device open and hence the
file ‘Rplots.pdf’ could not be removed on Windows: all devices are now
closed.
In some circumstances the caret (cursor) could be positioned
incorrectly. (PR#14460)
When loading ‘Rconsole’ from disk, a spurious warning message was
sometimes shown.
In R 2.12.1, ‘system()’ sometimes passed an empty input stream to the
new process rather than allowing user input.
The internal method for ‘untar()’ does a better job of unravelling
symbolic links in the tarball (but still with many limitations).

Bug fixes for drawing raster objects on ‘windows()’. The symptom was the occasional raster image not being drawn, especially when drawing multiple raster images in a single expression. Thanks to Michael Sumner for report and testing.
