[Rd] Methods not loaded in R-Devel vs 2.8.1

[Pfaff, Bernhard Dr.]

Dear list-member,

I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome.


For 2.8.1:
