CHANGES IN R-devel NEW FEATURES

• ‘demo()’ gains an ‘encoding’ argument for those packages with non-ASCII demos: it defaults to the package encoding where there is one.

• The included LAPACK has been updated to 3.4.1, with some patches from the current SVN sources. (_Inter alia_, this resolves PR#14692.)

CHANGES IN R-devel UTILITIES

• ‘R CMD check’ (if checking subdirectories) checks that the R code in any demos can be parsed, and warns if not.

CHANGES IN R-devel INTERNATIONALIZATION

• The translations form a separate group in the Windows installer, so can be omitted if desired.

2.15.1 patched NEW FEATURES

• ‘model.matrix(~1, ...)’ now also contains the same rownames that less trivial formulae produce. (Wish of PR#14992, changes the output of several packages.)

2.15.1 patched UTILITIES

• ‘R CMD check’ (if checking subdirectories) checks that the R code in any demos is ASCII and can be parsed, and warns if not.
