Hi all, The NEWS for R 4.1.0 contain the note:
- The graphics engine version, R_GE_version, has been bumped to 14 and so packages that provide graphics devices should be reinstalled And indeed, I just ran into this and got a Graphics API version mismatch error when using the tikzDevice package with my fresh CRAN backport of R 4.1.0 that Dirk uploaded to experimental. The error went away after reinstalling tikzDevice. For CRAN backports users, I just added a note on the Debian page https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/#debian-bullseye-testing (it will take a while for the mirrors to sync). Before the r-api system was introduced, I used to set up fresh repositories when R introduced breaking changes, in order to avoid that an apt-get upgrade breaks installed R package functionality. This one slipped by my attention. For the Debian R packages, I think we should find out which of the R packages in the Debian archive are affected by this (r-cran-rgl, r-cran-svglite, r-cran- vdiffr which embeds svglite, ggplot2, ...) and add versioned Breaks. Or should the r-api Version be bumped from r-api-4.0 to r-api-4.1?
