A general description is here.
New function news() for building and querying R or package news information.
Outlier symbols drawn by boxplot() now obey the 'outlwd' argument. Reported by Jüürgen Kluge.
terms.formula(simplify = TRUE) now does not deparse the LHS and so preserves non-standard responses such as `a: b` (requested by Sundar Dorai-Raj).
The 'zap.ind' argument to printCoefmat() did not usually work as other code attempted to ensure that non-zero values had a non-zero representation.
z^n for integer n and complex z or (numeric z and 2 < |n| <= 256) is now more accurate, notably in the complex case (when |n| <= 65536).
srcref records produced by parse() and parse_Rd() did not record the encoding of the source file. (Reported by Romain Franççois.)
gregexpr() no longer segfaults when "" is given as the search pattern. Thanks to Hervéé Pagèès for the bug report.
CHAR() now returns (const char *) since CHARSXPs should no longer be modified in place. This change allows compilers to warn or error about improper modification. Thanks to Hervéé Pagèès for the suggestion.
