-  CHANGES IN R 3.5.3:
  INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
    * Detection of flags for C++98/11/14/17 has been improved: in
      particular if CXX??STD is set, it is tried first with no
      additional flags.
  PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
    * New macro F_VISIBILITY as an alternative to F77_VISIBILITY.  This
      will become the preferred form in R 3.6.0.
  BUG FIXES:
    * writeLines(readLines(fnam), fnam) now works as expected, thanks
      to Peter Meissner's PR#17528.
    * setClassUnion() no longer warns, but uses message() for now, when
      encountering "non local" subclasses of class members.
    * stopifnot(exprs = T) no longer fails.

-  CHANGES IN R 3.5.2:
  PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
    * New macro CXX_VISIBILITY analogous to C_VISIBILITY (which several
      packages have been misusing for C++ code) for the default C++
      compiler (but not necessarily one used for non-default C++
      dialects like C++14).
  TESTING:
    * The random number generator tests in tests/p-r-random-tests.R no
      longer fail occasionally as they now randomly sample from
      "certified" random seeds.
  BUG FIXES:
    * The "glm" method of drop1() miscalculated the score test
      (test="Rao") when the model contained an offset.
    * Linear multiple empty models such as lm(y ~ 0) now have a
      correctly dimensioned empty coefficient matrix; reported by Brett
      Presnell.
    * vcov(<empty mlm>) and hence confint() now work (via a consistency
      change in summary.lm()).
    * confint(<multiple lm()>) now works correctly; reported on R-devel
      by Steven Pav.
    * quade.test() now also works correctly when its arguments are not
      yet sorted along groups, fixing PR#15842.
    * Installation on a Unix-alike tries harder to link to the pthread
      library where required (rather than relying on OpenMP to provide
      it: configuring with --disable-openmp was failing on some Linux
      systems).
    * The data.frame method for print(x) is fast now also for large
      data frames x and got an optional argument max, thanks to
      suggestions by Juan Telleria.
    * hist() no longer integer overflows in very rare cases, fixing

-  CHANGES IN R 3.5.1 :
  BUG FIXES:
    * file("stdin") is no longer considered seekable.
    * dput() and dump() are no longer truncating when
      options(deparse.max.lines = *) is set.
    * Calls with an S3 class are no longer evaluated when printed,
      fixing part of PR#17398, thanks to a patch from Lionel Henry.
    * Allow file argument of Rscript to include space even when it is
      first on the command line.
    * callNextMethod() uses the generic from the environment of the
      calling method. Reported by Herv'e Pag`es with well documented
      examples.
    * Compressed file connections are marked as blocking.
    * optim(*, lower = c(-Inf, -Inf)) no longer warns (and switches the
      method), thanks to a suggestion by John Nash.
    * predict(fm, newdata) is now correct also for models where the
      formula has terms such as splines::ns(..) or stats::poly(..),
      fixing PR#17414, based on a patch from Duncan Murdoch.
    * simulate.lm(glm(*, gaussian(link = <non-default>))) has been
      corrected, fixing PR#17415 thanks to Alex Courtiol.
    * unlist(x) no longer fails in some cases of nested empty lists.
      Reported by Steven Nydick.
    * qr.coef(qr(<all 0, w/ colnames>)) now works.  Reported by Kun
      Ren.
    * The radix sort is robust to vectors with >1 billion elements (but
      long vectors are still unsupported). Thanks to Matt Dowle for the
      fix.
    * Terminal connections (e.g., stdin) are no longer buffered. Fixes
      PR#17432.
    * deparse(x), dput(x) and dump() now respect c()'s argument names

- CHANGES IN R 3.5.0:
  SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
    * All packages are by default byte-compiled on installation.  This
      makes the installed packages larger (usually marginally so) and
      may affect the format of messages and tracebacks (which often
      exclude .Call and similar).
  NEW FEATURES:
    * factor() now uses order() to sort its levels, rather than
      sort.list().  This allows factor() to support custom vector-like
      objects if methods for the appropriate generics are defined.  It
      has the side effect of making factor() succeed on empty or
      length-one non-atomic vector(-like) types (e.g., "list"), where
      it failed before.
    * diag() gets an optional names argument: this may require updates
      to packages defining S4 methods for it.
    * chooseCRANmirror() and chooseBioCmirror() no longer have a
      useHTTPS argument, not needed now all R builds support https://
      downloads.
    * New summary() method for warnings() with a (somewhat
      experimental) print() method.
    * (methods package.) .self is now automatically registered as a
      global variable when registering a reference class method.
    * tempdir(check = TRUE) recreates the tempdir() directory if it is
      no longer valid (e.g. because some other process has cleaned up
      the /tmp directory).
    * New askYesNo() function and "askYesNo" option to ask the user
      binary response questions in a customizable but consistent way.
      (Suggestion of PR#17242.)
    * New low level utilities ...elt(n) and ...length() for working
      with ... parts inside a function.

- upstrem updated to 3.4.4
  CHANGES IN R 3.4.4:
  NEW FEATURES:
    * Sys.timezone() tries more heuristics on Unix-alikes and so is
      more likely to succeed (especially on Linux).  For the slowest
      method, a warning is given recommending that TZ is set to avoid
      the search.
    * The version of LAPACK included in the sources has been updated to
      3.8.0 (for the routines used by R, a very minor bug-fix change).
    * parallel::detectCores(logical = FALSE) is ignored on Linux
      systems, since the information is not available with virtualized
      OSes.
  INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
    * configure will use pkg-config to find the flags to link to jpeg
      if available (as it should be for the recently-released jpeg-9c
      and libjpeg-turbo).  (This amends the code added in R 3.3.0 as
      the module name in jpeg-9c is not what that tested for.)
  DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
    * Sys.timezone(location = FALSE) (which was a stop-gap measure for
      Windows long ago) is deprecated.  It no longer returns the value
      of environment variable TZ (usually a location).
    * Legacy support of make macros such as CXX1X is formally
      deprecated: use the CXX11 forms instead.
  BUG FIXES:
    * power.prop.test() now warns when it cannot solve the problem,
      typically because of impossible constraints. (PR#17345)
    * removeSource() no longer erroneously removes NULL in certain
      cases, thanks to D'enes T'oth.
    * nls(`NO [mol/l]` ~ f(t)) and nls(y ~ a) now work.  (Partly from
      PR#17367)

- upstream updated to 3.4.3
  CHANGES IN R 3.4.3:
  INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
    * A workaround has been added for the changes in location of
      time-zone files in macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' and again in
      10.13.1, so the default time zone is deduced correctly from the
      system setting when R is configured with --with-internal-tzcode
      (the default on macOS).
    * R CMD javareconf has been updated to recognize the use of a Java
      9 SDK on macOS.
  BUG FIXES:
    * raw(0) & raw(0) and raw(0) | raw(0) again return raw(0) (rather
      than logical(0)).
    * intToUtf8() converts integers corresponding to surrogate code
      points to NA rather than invalid UTF-8, as well as values larger
      than the current Unicode maximum of 0x10FFFF.  (This aligns with
      the current RFC3629.)
    * Fix calling of methods on S4 generics that dispatch on ... when
      the call contains ....
    * Following Unicode 'Corrigendum 9', the UTF-8 representations of
      U+FFFE and U+FFFF are now regarded as valid by utf8ToInt().
    * range(c(TRUE, NA), finite = TRUE) and similar no longer return
      NA. (Reported by Lukas Stadler.)
    * The self starting function attr(SSlogis, "initial") now also
      works when the y values have exact minimum zero and is slightly
      changed in general, behaving symmetrically in the y range.
    * The printing of named raw vectors is now formatted nicely as for
      other such atomic vectors, thanks to Lukas Stadler.

- upstream update to 3.4.2
CHANGES IN R 3.4.2:
  NEW FEATURES:
    * Setting the LC_ALL category in Sys.setlocale() invalidates any
      cached locale-specific day/month names and the AM/PM indicator
      for strptime() (as setting LC_TIME has since R 3.1.0).
    * The version of LAPACK included in the sources has been updated to
      3.7.1, a bug-fix release.
    * The default for tools::write_PACKAGES(rds_compress=) has been
      changed to "xz" to match the compression used by CRAN.
    * c() and unlist() are now more efficient in constructing the
      names(.) of their return value, thanks to a proposal by Suharto
      Anggono.  (PR#17284)
  UTILITIES:
    * R CMD check checks for and R CMD build corrects CRLF line endings
      in shell scripts configure and cleanup (even on Windows).
  INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
    * The order of selection of OpenMP flags has been changed: Oracle
      Developer Studio 12.5 accepts -fopenmp and -xopenmp but only the
      latter enables OpenMP so it is now tried first.
  BUG FIXES:
    * within(List, rm(x1, x2)) works correctly again, including when
      List[["x2"]] is NULL.
    * regexec(pattern, text, *) now applies as.character(.) to its
      first two arguments, as documented.
    * write.table() and related functions, writeLines(), and perhaps
      other functions writing text to connections did not signal errors
      when the writes failed, e.g. due to a disk being full.  Errors
      will now be signalled if detected during the write, warnings if
      detected when the connection is closed.  (PR#17243)
