CHANGES IN R 3.6.3:

  NEW FEATURES:

    * The included LAPACK has been updated to version 3.9.0 (for the
      included routines, just bug fixes).

  BUG FIXES:

    * Fixed a C level integer overflow in rhyper(); reported by
      Benjamin Tyner in PR#17694.

    * Uses of url(gzcon(.)) needing to extend buffer size have failed
      (with HTTP/2 servers), reported by G'abor Cs'ardi.

    * predict(loess(..), se=TRUE) now errors out (instead of
      seg.faulting etc) for large sample sizes, thanks to a report and
      patch by Benjamin Tyner in PR#17121.

    * tools:assertCondition(., "error") and hence assertError() no
      longer return errors twice (invisibly).

    * update(form, new) in the case of a long new formula sometimes
      wrongly eliminated the intercept from form, or (more rarely)
      added a garbage term (or seg.faulted !); the fix happened by
      simplifying the C-level logic of terms.formula().  Reported by
      Mathias Amb"uhl in PR#16326.

    * The error message from stopifnot(.., <error producing call>)
      again contains the full "stopifnot(.......)" call: Its attempted
      suppression did not work consistently.

    * On Windows, download.file(., , "wininet", headers=character())
      would fail; reported with patch proposal by Kevin Ushey in
      PR#17710.
