+Subject: R 4.3.3 is released
+Message-ID: <[email protected]>
+
+The build system rolled up R-4.3.3.tar.gz and .xz (codename "Angel Food Cake") this morning.
+
+This is a minor update, intended as the wrap-up release for the 4.3.x series. 
+
+This also marks the 6th anniversary of R-1.0.0. (2000-02-29)
+
+The list below details the changes in this release. 
+
+You can get the source code from
+
+https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.3.3.tar.gz
+https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.3.3.tar.xz
+
+or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you.
+
+Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.

+This is the relevant part of the NEWS file
+
+CHANGES IN R 4.3.3:
+
+  NEW FEATURES:
+
+    * iconv() now fixes up variant encoding names such as "utf8"
+      case-insensitively.
+
+  DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
+
+    * The legacy encoding = "MacRoman" is deprecated in pdf() and
+      postscript(): support was incomplete in earlier versions of R.
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    * Arguments are now properly forwarded to methods on S4 generics
+      with ... in the middle of their formal arguments. This was broken
+      for the case when a method introduced an argument but did not
+      include ... in its own formals. Thanks to Herv'e Pag`es for the
+      report PR#18538.
+
+    * Some invalid file arguments to pictex(), postscript() and xfig()
+      opened a file called NA rather than throw an error.  These
+      included postscript(NULL) (which some people expected to work
+      like pdf(NULL)).
+
+    * Passing filename = NA to svg(), cairo_pdf(), cairo_ps() or the
+      Cairo-based bitmap devices opened a file called NA: it now throws
+      an error.
+
+    * quartz(file = NA) opened a file called NA, including when used as
+      a Quartz-based bitmap device.  It now gives an error.
+
+    * rank(<long vector>) now works, fixing PR#18617, thanks to Ilia
+      Kats.
+
+    * seq.int() did not adequately check its length.out argument.
+
+    * match(<POSIXct>, .) is correct again for differing time zones,
+      ditto for "POSIXlt", fixing PR#18618 reported by Bastian Klein.
+
+    * drop.terms(*, dropx = <0-length>) now works, fixing PR#18563 as
+      proposed by Mikael Jagan.
+
+    * drop.terms(*) keeps + offset(.) terms when it should, PR#18565,
+      and drop.terms() no longer makes up a response, PR#18566, fixing
+      both bugs thanks to Mikael Jagan.
+
+    * getS3method("t", "test") no longer finds the t.test() function,
+      fixing PR#18627.
+
+    * pdf() and postscript() support for the documented Adobe encodings
+      "Greek" and "Cyrilllic" was missing (although the corresponding
+      Windows' codepages could be used).
+
+    * Computations of glyph metric information for pdf() and
+      postscript() did not take into account that transliteration could
+      replace one character by two or more (only seen on macOS 14) and
+      typically warned that the information was not known.
+
+    * rank(x) no longer overflows during integer addition, when
+      computing rank average for largish but not-yet long vector x,
+      fixing PR#18630, thanks to Ilia Kats.
+
+    * list.files() on Windows now returns also files with names longer
+      that 260 bytes (the Windows limit is 260 characters).
+      Previously, some file names particularly with 'East Asian'
+      characters were omitted.
+
+    * cov2cor(<0 x 0>) now works, fixing PR#18423 thanks to Mikael
+      Jagan and Elin Waring.
+
+    * cov2cor(<negative diagonal>) and similar now give one warning
+      instead of two, with better wording, fixing PR#18424 thanks to
+      Mikael Jagan.
+
+    * tools:: startDynamicHelp() now ensures port is in proper range,
+      fixing PR#18645.
+
+    * pbeta(x, a,b) is correct now for x=0 or 1 in the boundary cases
+      where a or b or both are 0, fixing PR#18672 thanks to Michael
+      Fay.
+
+    * pmatch(x, table) for large table, also called for data frame row
+      selection, dfrm[nm, ], is now interruptible, fixing PR#18656.
+
+    * predict(<rank-deficient lm>, newdata=*) fix computing of nbasis,
+      see Russ Lenth's comment 29 in PR#16158.
+
+    * Added a work-around for a bug in macOS 14.3.1 and higher which
+      prevents R plots in the Quartz Cocoa device from updating on
+      screen.
