The default _WIN32_WINNT has been set to Windows 7 (0x0601, which is also the MXE default). Windows Vista is no longer supported by R-devel (to become R 4.3). Previously, _WIN32_WINNT has been set to the MinGW-W64 default (Windows 10 in MinGW-W64 10.0.0). The change is to reduce the risks that unconditional dependency on Windows newer than 7 would be accidentally introduced. Most existing code will be unaffected by this.
Upstream MXE changes have been merged from e560bd25a53b15f4899f290e1fc8193a4aa7a2a6, with additional updates to binutils, curl, openssl and other libraries.
The new version of curl requires also linking of -lbcrypt. This can be done unconditionally also for packages meant to work with Rtools42/R 4.2, because the library existed there as well. Packages linking to curl may have to be updated to build.
The new version of libwebp requires also linking of -lsharpyuv. Rtools42 did not have that library, so packages meant to work also with R 4.2 should link it conditionally. Packages linking to libwebp may have to be updated. One possible way to do it in GNU make files (e.g. Makevars.ucrt) is
LIBSHARPYUV = $(or $(and $(wildcard $(R_TOOLS_SOFT)/lib/libsharpyuv.a),-lsharpyuv),)
PKG_LIBS = ... -lwebp $(LIBSHARPYUV) ... The Rtools installer meta-data have been extended to use 3-column product version, where the last element is the svn revision (now 4.3.5550). Hence, the svn revision of Rtools43 is displayed in the Add/Remove Programs list in Windows. The change may impact and should help improve behavior of third-party tools for installing external software on Windows, such as winget. The file version in the meta-data is now 4-column (4.3.5555.5548). The original installer file name is now included in the meta-data.

This minor update is important for users of gdal, which has been upgraded from version 3.6.0 to 3.6.2. Gdal 3.6.0 has been officially retracted, because of a regression which could cause data corruption. Users who need to build from source any of the following CRAN packages should upgrade Rtools43: gdalcubes, rgdal, sf, terra, vapour.
