This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘postscript(file = "|cmd")’ now works on Windows.
‘pdf()’ accepts forms like ‘file = "|lpr"’ in the same way as ‘postscript()’.
‘pdf()’ accepts ‘file = NULL’. This means that the device does NOT create a PDF file (but it can still be queried, e.g., for font metric info).
