A general description is here.
‘install.packages()’ and friends now accept the value ‘type = "binary"’ as a synonym for the native binary type on the platform (if it has one).
Single source or binary files can be supplied for ‘install.packages(type = "both")’ and the approporiate type and ‘repos = NULL’ will be inferred.
‘save(*, ascii=TRUE)’ and ‘load()’ now correctly deal with ‘NaN’'s. (PR#16137)
