  • The bmp(), jpeg(), png() and tiff() devices were not scaling 'pointsize' correctly with the resolution, for grid-based plots (e.g. those from lattice) only.

    These devices were scaling 'width' by res=1 if units="mm".

  • The --internet2 command line option sets a flag internally; that flag is now visible and controllable from R using the setInternet2() function.

  • file.access() proved unreliable on some network-mounted file systems (probably a Samba issue), so it has been replaced in R CMD INSTALL by a directory creation test. (Reported by Simon Urbanek and Ruth Ripley.)

  • Topics marked as "internal" in help files were not visible from CHM help.
