CHANGES IN R 3.4.1:

 INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:

   * The deprecated support for PCRE versions older than 8.20 has been
     removed.

 BUG FIXES:

   * getParseData() gave incorrect column information when code
     contained multi-byte characters.  (PR#17254)

   * Asking for help using expressions like ?stats::cor() did not
     work.  (PR#17250)

   * readRDS(url(....)) now works.

   * R CMD Sweave again returns status = 0 on successful completion.

   * Vignettes listed in .Rbuildignore were not being ignored
     properly.  (PR#17246)

   * file.mtime() no longer returns NA on Windows when the file or
     directory is being used by another process.  This affected
     installed.packages(), which is now protected against this.

   * R CMD INSTALL Windows .zip file obeys --lock and --pkglock flags.

   * (Windows only) The choose.files() function could return incorrect
     results when called with multi = FALSE.  (PR#17270)

   * aggregate(<data.frame>, drop = FALSE) now also works in case of
     near-equal numbers in by.  (PR#16918)

   * fourfoldplot() could encounter integer overflow when calculating
     the odds ratio. (PR#17286)

   * parse() no longer gives spurious warnings when extracting srcrefs
     from a file not encoded in the current locale.

     This was seen from R CMD check with inst/doc/*.R files, and check
     has some additional protection for such files.

   * print.noquote(x) now always returns its argument x (invisibly).

   * Non-UTF-8 multibyte character sets were not handled properly in
     source references.  (PR#16732)
