R 4.2.0 suggests a rebuild of graphics packages
R 4.2.0 was released yesterday as scheduled.
Per the NEWS.Rd file [1] in the second section 'Grahphics' the first point is
GRAPHICS
The graphics engine version, R_GE_version, has been bumped to 15 and so
packages that provide graphics devices should be reinstalled.
so packages providing a graphics device should be rebuilt. We discussed this
previously (as R 4.1.0 also updated the graphics device capabilities) and I
still think it is not worth defining a new r-api-* alike tag for this as it
really only affects a good handful of packages.

[1] The web version is still at 4.1.3 as I just reported to r-devel so here is the
snippet via the GitHub mirror of the SVN sources:
