A general description is here.
The ‘quartz()’ device now does tilde expansion on its ‘file’ argument.
‘read.dcf()’ removes trailing blanks: unfortunately on some platforms this included ‘\xa0’ (non-breaking space) which is the trailing byte of a UTF-8 character. It now only considers ASCII space and tab to be ‘blank’.
The internal ‘plot.default()’ code did not do sanity checks on a ‘cex’ argument, so invalid input could cause problems. (Reported by Ben Bolker.)
