This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
R_HOME/bin/helpPRINT.bat now contains an example of use with
MiKTeX to produce a PDF version of the help file.
The windows() device now works around the total clipping of
semi-transparent rectangles and circles that extend outside
the device region.
The script editor did not respect user preferences for the
background colour.
normalizePath() no longer returns a garbage string when the
input is bad; it now signals an error. (PR#13199)
File share/sh/dcf.sh was not distributed with the binary
build. (PR#13200)
dir.create() did not print the path correctly in warning messages.
The C-level function consolecmd had been broken in non-Latin-1
single-byte locales in R 2.8.0 by changes intended to support
the Japanese IME. This affected some menu items in Rgui
(e.g. to source R files with non-Latin-1 names) and submitting
commands from the script editor, but only in rarer encodings
such as Central European, Greek and Cyrillic. (PR#13195,
probably also PR#13120)
The attenpt to make the 'Load' button in the GUI preferences
start in the home directory failed if the latter was specified
with forwward slashes, and reset the current search directory
for other file open dialogs (e.g. for opening a script).
The installer would sometimes write the current version
information to the registry even if that option was not
checked.
Rcmd INSTALL --with-package-versions now works in a few more
cases (of lazy loading and lazy data), but still many of the
options are not supported (e.g. --use-zip). Versioned
installs are now deprecated, so regard them as unsupported on
Windows (and a warning is given). (PR#13284)
