User-Visible Changes

    o XDR support is now guaranteed to be available, so the default
        save format will always be XDR binary files, and it is safe to
        distribute data in that format. (We are unaware of any
        platform that did not support XDR in recent versions of R.)

        gzfile() is guaranteed to be available, so the preferred
        method to distribute sizeable data objects is now via
        save(compress = TRUE).

    o pie() replaces piechart() and defaults to using pastel colours.

    o formatC has new arguments (see below) and formatC(*, d = <dig>)
        is no longer valid and must be written as formatC(*, digits = <dig>).

    o Missingness of character strings is treated much more
        consistently, and the character string "NA" can be used as a
        non-missing value.

    o summary.factor() now uses a stable sort, so the output will
        change where there are ties in the frequencies.

Plus lots of new features and many bug fixes.
