Fwd: Misuse of .Internal (optimhess) in packages betatrgarch, , fGarch, iterLap and rgenoud

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Ping!

Package caschrono is failing its tests because of this.

The fix is simple, and you were asked to do this months ago.  We are 
about to put up a Non-Maintainer update, 2110.80.1, with this fixed 
(including in the test suite!)

But really we should not have to remind and sweep up after you.

All of these packages have R CMD check reports such as

Found .Internal call in the following function:
   ‘tegarch.est’
with calls to .Internal functions
   ‘optimhess’

Packages should not call .Internal(): it is not part of the API, for
use only by R itself and subject to change without notice.

There is no longer such a .Internal function in the development version
of R.  Please update your package to use the R function optimhess()
instead, and add/incorporate
Depends: R (>= 2.15)
in your DESCRIPTION file.

BDR
