Details

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 sinceversion="all" or sincedate="all" then all recorded bugs will be listed.

The special options sinceversion="book" and sincedate="book" are interpreted to mean sincedate="2015-06-05", 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 bugs that were fixed in the current installed version of spatstat and its sub-packages.

By default, bugs in the extension packages spatstat.local, spatstat.Knet, spatstat.gui are not reported. To include these bugs as well, set package=spatstat.family(TRUE,TRUE).
