      \item \code{install.packages(type = "both")} has been enhanced.
      In interactive use it will ask whether to choose the source
      version of a package if the binary version is older and contains
      compiled code, and also asks if source packages with no binary
      version should be installed.

      \item \code{norm()} now allows \code{type = "2"} (the
      \sQuote{spectral} or 2-norm) as well, mainly for didactical
      completeness.
 
      \item \code{pmin()} and \code{pmax()} now also work when one of
      the inputs is of length zero and others are not, returning a
      zero-length vector, analogously to, say, \code{+}.
 
      \item \code{colorRamp()} (and hence \code{colorRampPalette()}) now
      also works for the boundary case of just one color when the ramp is

 
      \item Closing an \code{X11()} window while \code{locator()} was
      active could abort the \R process.
 
      \item \code{getMethod(f, sig)} produced an incorrect error message
      in some cases when \code{f} was not a string.
 
      \item Using a string as a \dQuote{call} in an error condition
      with \code{options(showErrorCalls=TRUE)} could cause a segfault.

      \item \code{tools::deparseLatex(dropBraces=TRUE)} could drop
      text as well as braces.
 
      \item \code{colormodel = "grey"} (new in \R 2.14.0)
      did not always work in \code{postscript()} and \code{pdf()}.

       mainly for use by \command{R CMD Rd2pdf}.
 
       It avoids the use of \command{texindy} by \command{texinfo}'s
       \command{texi2dvi >= 1.157}, since that does not emulate
       'makeindex' well enough to avoid problems with special characters

      \item The ability of \code{readLines()} and \code{scan()} to
       re-encode inputs to marked UTF-8 strings on Windows since \R 2.7.0
       is extended to non-UTF-8 locales on other OSes.
