CHANGES IN R 4.4.2

C-LEVEL FACILITIES:

The S-compatibility macros F77_COM and F77_COMDECL defined in
header R_ext/RS.h are deprecated and will be removed shortly. We
could find no record of their use.

BUG FIXES:

Mathlib function lgammacor(x) no longer warns about underflow to
zero for large x.
Text widths and heights were incorrectly reported by the Quartz
device if the drawing context didn't exist yet (typically when
drawing off-screen to a window that is yet to appear, see
PR#18591).
The Quartz device could segfault in cases where paths with spaces
are used in the new glyph drawing API. Thanks to Tomek
Gieorgijewski (PR#18758).
On macOS in R CRAN builds, it is again possible to read
little-endian UTF-16 text with a BOM from a connection using
encoding="UTF-16". Users building R from source should avoid
using the system libiconv in macOS 14.1 and later.
methods' internal .requirePackage() now re-enables primitive
method dispatch when needed; thanks to Ivan Krylov for
demystifying CRAN package check failures on the R-devel mailing
list.
