This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
Command 'gnutar' is preferred to 'tar' when configure sets TAR. This is needed on Mac OS 10.6, where the default tar, bsdtar 2.6.2, has been reported to produce archives with illegal extensions to tar (according to the POSIX standard).
na.action() did not extract the 'na.action' component as documented.
tools::Rd2txt() did not render poorly written Rd files consistently with other renderers.
The Rgui console, pagers and editor on the 64-bit build now have
a title bar icon.
The outer frame/console for Rgui/Rterm mentions '(64-bit)' to
make it easier to distinguish running copies of R.
The package entries in listbox shown by the 'Install package(s)
...' menu are now explicitly sorted in the current locale
(there were in most previous releases, but not in 2.11.0).
R CMD INSTALL can install zipfiles as binary packages.

Errors in the Rconsole file are ignored: silently on startup, with a warning when Rconsole is loaded interactively.
