Subject: [Rd] NEWS file inconsistency
Message-ID: <1140973825.1963255.1433593105159.JavaMail.zimbra@openanalytics.eu>

L.S.

I noticed the NEWS file as made available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS became inconsistent in describing CHANGES for a new R version:

$ wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS
$ cat NEWS | grep 'CHANGES IN '
CHANGES IN 3.2.0:
CHANGES IN R 3.1.3:
CHANGES IN R 3.1.2:
CHANGES IN R 3.1.1:
CHANGES IN R 3.1.0:
CHANGES IN R 3.0.3:
CHANGES IN R 3.0.2:
CHANGES IN R 3.0.1:
CHANGES IN R 3.0.0:

Not a big issue, obviously, but we were parsing the file as part of a build procedure.

Best,
Tobias
