A general description is here.
‘R CMD check’ now by default checks code usage (_via_ ‘codetools’) with only the base package attached. Functions from default packages other than ‘base’ which are used in the package code but not imported are reported as undefined globals, with a suggested addition to the ‘NAMESPACE’ file.
‘[<-’ with an S4 value into a list currently embeds the S4 object into its own list such that the end result is roughly equivalent to using ‘[[<-’. That behavior is deprecated. In the future, the S4 value will be coerced to a list with ‘as.list()’.
Including header ‘S.h’ from C++ code would fail on some platforms, and so gives a compilation error on all.

(Windows only) The ‘Rgui’ front end did not always initialize the console properly, and could cause R to crash. (PR#16998)
