I know about this, but I wanted to find what the document exactly says about this. I'm sure it's documented somewhere, but I just spend 10-15 min on the website trying, but I couldn't find it. What I was looking specifically for was "new features". For instance, would one be allowed to introduce a 100% backward compatible new features to the Bioc release branch? For instance, assume you currently have h <- function(x, ...) { sum(x) } in the release branch, would it be okay to add: h <- function(x, na.rm = FALSE, ...) { sum(x, na.rm = na.rm) } ? This is how base-R itself does it in their patch releases, e.g. R 4.3.0 -> R 4.3.1. /Henrik > Any features to be removed > must be indicated as > deprecated for one release and then labeled as defunct.
