This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘embedFonts()’ now defaults to ‘format = "ps2write"’ for ‘.ps’ and
‘.eps’ files. This is available in Ghostscript 9.x (since 2010)
whereas the previous default, ‘format = "pswrite"’, was removed in
9.10.
‘save()’, ‘saveRDS()’ and ‘serialize()’ now support ‘ascii = NA’ which writes ASCII files using the ‘sprintf("%a")’) for double/complex quantities. This is read-compatible with ‘ascii = TRUE’ but avoids binary->decimal->binary conversions with potential loss of precision. Unfortunately Windows' lack of C99 compliance means that the format cannot be read correctly there in R before 3.1.2.
