[R-pkg-devel] package API change

[Berry Boessenkool]

What's good practice to inform users about an API change?


The package in question is extremeStat. Apparently, people actually use it.

I don't have a userbase like Hadley, but I do receive emails with feature requests and code change suggestions.

Since the change is rather big (going from version 0.6.0 to 1.3.0 reflects that), some existing scripts may break.

(functions + arguments renamed/removed/restructured; computing functions don't plot anymore, separate plotting functions now do).


I'm considering a package startup message which would be included for a few months.


What do you think?

Any better options / things to consider?


Thanks ahead,

Berry
