Hello.
I saw that a minor release has been rolled up with binaries coming soon. My
question is whether or not the issues identified (I’m thinking mainly of a
window focus issue reported on this list) after Sonoma released have been
patched in this version. I did not see anything specific in the summary of
changes that went with the email notification to r-help.
Because you are talking about R.app aka Mac-GUI and that is a separate
project. See
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI/NEWS
As for R itself, there are major ramifications of the un-announced
replacement of libiconv in macOS 14 and further changes in 14.1 (and
who knows what else has been changed without being in the release
notes). I certainly would not use any version of R older than 4.3.2,
and R-devel would be preferred for package development (and that will
need further changes to R which I guess will be ported to R-patched in
due course).
With 14 you are likely to see silent substitutions in iconv() (which is
used pervasively in R): in 14.1, Aborts from libiconv. Although the
latter is supposedly Open Source, only the 14.0 changes have been
published thus far (and Apple often does not publish them for .x versions).
