[R-pkg-devel] Warning on r-oldrel-macos-x86_64

[Hugh Parsonage]

If you click on WARN in the table on your check results page (i.e. if
you go to <https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-oldrel-macos-x86_64/PowerTOST-00check.html>
) you will see in the first line:

* using R version 3.6.2 (2019-12-12)

Hope that helps.
