CHANGES IN VERSION 1.36.1 ----------------------- BUG FIXES AND MINOR IMPROVEMENTS o Improve the `read.dcf` operation that looks for any deprecated packages in both Bioconductor release and devel versions. CHANGES IN VERSION 1.36.0 ----------------------- NEW FEATURES o Include size limit checks for data files in `data`, `inst/extdata`, and `data-raw` folders (@lshep, @const-ae, #167, #67) o Source package directories that include an `inst/doc` folder with files are now flagged with an error. `doc` folders are generated during `R CMD build`. o The error for packages already hosted on CRAN has been converted to a warning (@lshep, #177). Any such incoming packages must be removed from CRAN before the following Bioconductor release. BUG FIXES AND MINOR IMPROVEMENTS o Filter out 'package' docTypes from '\value' documentaiton checks (@grimbough, #189) o Obtain a more complete list of deprecated packages for `checkDeprecatedPkgs` o Fix issue with path seperators on Windows ('\\' vs '/') causing the unit test for `getBiocCheckDir` to report erroneous mismatches (@grimbough, #175) o Fix bug where the wrong number of functions with length greater than 50 was reported (@grimbough, #182) o biocViews term suggestions should be a scalar character (@lcolladotor, #184) o Update email in bioc-devel subscription check (@lshep, #185) o Handle function length checks when there is no R code (@lshep, #186) o Edit warning text when empty or missing `value` sections are found in a package (@vjcitn) o `checkForValueSection` re-implemented for clarity; filters out comments in `value` sections (@LiNk-NY) o Correctly identify `Rd` comments by updating the regular expression to identify them (@LiNk-NY) CHANGES IN VERSION 1.34 ----------------------- NEW FEATURES o Redundant package dependencies checks between `DESCRIPTION` and `NAMESPACE` have been removed.
