+CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.14.0 patched:
+
+  NEW FEATURES:
+
+    o parallel::detectCores() is now able to find the number of
+      physical cores (rather than CPUs) on Sparc Solaris.
+
+      It can also do so on most versions of Windows; however the
+      default remains detectCores(logical = TRUE) on that platform.
+
+    o Reference classes now keep a record of which fields are locked.
+      $lock() with no arguments returns the names of the locked fields.
+
+    o HoltWinters() reports a warning rather than an error for some
+      optimization failures (where the answer might be a reasonable
+      one).
+
+    o tools::dependsOnPkg() now accepts the shorthand dependencies =
+      "all".
+
+    o parallel::clusterExport() now allows specification of an
+      environment from which to export.
+
+    o The quartz() device now does tilde expansion on its file
+      argument.
+
+    o tempfile() on a Unix-alike now takes the process ID into account.
+      This is needed with multicore (and as part of parallel) because
+      the parent and all the children share a session temporary
+      directory, and they can share the C random number stream used to
+      produce the uniaue part.  Further, two children can call
+      tempfile() simultaneously.
+
+    o Option print in Sweave's RweaveLatex() driver now emulates
+      auto-printing rather than printing (which can differ for an S4
+      object by calling show() rather than print()).
+
+    o filled.contour() now accepts infinite values: previously it might
+      have generated invalid graphics files (e.g. containing NaN
+      values).
+
+  INSTALLATION:
+
+    o On 64-bit Linux systems, configure now only sets LIBnn to lib64
+      if /usr/lib64 exists.  This may obviate setting LIBnn explicitly
+      on Debian-derived systems.
+
+      It is still necessary to set LIBnn = lib (or lib32) for 32-bit
+      builds of R on a 64-bit OS on those Linux distributions capable
+      for supporting that concept.
+
+    o configure looks for inconsolata.sty, and if not found adjusts the
+      default R_RD4PDF to not use it (with a warning, since it is
+      needed for high-quality rendering of manuals).
+
+  PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
+
+    o R CMD INSTALL will now do a test load for all sub-architectures
+      for which code was compiled (rather than just the primary
+      sub-architecture).
+
+  UTILITIES:
+
+    o When checking examples under more than one sub-architecture, R
+      CMD check now uses a separate directory examples_arch for each
+      sub-architecture, and leaves the output in file
+      pkgname-Ex_arch.Rout.  Some packages expect their examples to be
+      run in a clean directory ....
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    o stack() now gives an error if no vector column is selected,
+      rather than returning a 1-column data frame (contrary to its
+      documentation).
+
+    o summary.mlm() did not handle objects where the formula had been
+      specified by an expression.  (Reported by Helios de Rosario
+      Martinez).
+
+    o tools::deparseLatex(dropBraces=TRUE) could drop text as well as
+      braces.
+
+    o colormodel = "grey" (new in R 2.14.0)) did not always work in
+      postscript() and pdf().
+
+    o file.append() could return TRUE for failures.  (PR#14727)
+
+    o gzcon() connections are no longer subject to garbage collection:
+      it was possible for this to happen when unintended (e.g. when
+      calling load()).
+
+    o nobs() does not count zero-weight observations for glm() fits,
+      for consistency with lm().  This affects the BIC() values
+      reported for such glm() fits.  (Spotted by Bill Dunlap.)
+
+    o options(warn = 0) failed to end a (C-level) context with more
+      than 50 accumulated warnings.  (Spotted by Jeffery Horner.)
+
+    o The internal plot.default() code did not do sanity checks on a
+      cex argument, so invalid input could cause problems.  (Reported
+      by Ben Bolker.)
+
+    o anyDuplicated(<array>, MARGIN=0) no longer fails.  (Reported by
+      Herv'e Pag`es.)
+
+    o read.dcf() removes trailing blanks: unfortunately on some
+      platforms this included \xa0 (non-breaking space) which is the
+      trailing byte of a UTF-8 character.  It now only considers ASCII
+      space and tab to be 'blank'.
+
+    o There was a sign error in part of the calculations for the
+      variance returned by KalmanSmooth().  (PR#14738)
+
+    o pbinom(10, 1e6, 0.01, log.p = TRUE) was NaN thanks to the buggy
+      fix to PR#14320 in R 2.11.0.  (PR#14739)
+
+    o RweaveLatex() now emulates auto-printing rather than printing, by
+      calling methods::show() when auto-printing would.
+
+    o duplicated() ignored fromLast for a one-column data frame.
+      (PR#14742)
+
+    o source() and related functions did not put the correct timestamp
+      on the source references; srcfilecopy() has gained a new argument
+      timestamp to support this fix. (PR#14750)
+
+    o LaTeX conversion of Rd files did not correctly handle
+      preformatted backslashes.  (PR#14751)
+
+    o HTML conversion of Rd files did not handle markup within tabular
+      cells properly.  (PR#14708)
+
+    o source() on an empty file with keep.source = TRUE tried to read
+      from stdin(), in R 2.14.0 only.  (PR#14753)
+
+    o The code to check Rd files in packages would abort if duplicate
+      description sections were present.
