We are working on rearranging some of our header files with the goal of making the installed headers correspond more closely to the C API available to packages. Packages that only use entry points and definitions that are part of the API as specified in Chapter 6 of Writing R Extensions should not be affected.
I have committed an initial set of changes to R-devel in r80644. About 10 CRAN packages that use non-API features will fail under R-devel after these changes and their maintainers have been notified. If you are currently using non-API features in a package it would be a good idea to review what you are doing and to try to revise your code to work within the API. If you feel there are features missing in the API then you can suggest additions on this mailing list or bugzilla. Best, luke -- Luke Tierney Ralph E.
