Bug reports are extracted from the NEWS file
of the specified package
.
Only those after a specified date, or after a specified version
of the package, are retained.
The bug reports are then sorted alphabetically, so that all bugs affecting a
particular function are listed consecutively. Finally the table of bug
reports is displayed (if show=TRUE
) and returned invisibly.
The argument sinceversion
should be a character string
like "1.2-3"
. The default is the current installed version of the
package. The argument sincedate
should be a
character string like "2015-05-27"
, or a date-time object.
If package="spatstat"
(the default) then
sinceversion="book"
and sincedate="book"
are interpreted to mean sinceversion="1.42-0"
,
which gives all bugs reported after publication of
the book by Baddeley, Rubak and Turner (2015).
Typing bugfixes
without parentheses will display a table of
all bug fixes in the current installed version of spatstat.
