R 3.5.0 on April 23 -- new r-api-3.5 and full rebuilds needed
So R 3.5.0 was just announced, and it will (AFAIK) require a full rebuild of
packages as an important internal change is coming ("ALTREP").
We effectively had a dry run for this last year (when we didn't need it for
all packages, but nevertheless applied it to all). That worked pretty well
so I don't expect big problems.
If anybody is interested in helping me liase with ftpmasters and other powers
that be, drop me a line off-list. We still have plenty of time, and I think
I will upload alpha/beta/rc versions to experimental.
