Just a quick note (from an R-core member) to those of you (many ?!) who have S4 methods in your packages: R-devel [2.8.0 unstable] as of a few hours ago (svn) does now also apply some of (Luke Tierney's) codetools package checks to S4 methods. For some reason it did check all regular function definitions in a package, but not the S4 methods until now. Consequently, you will see a bit more warnings in the output of 'R CMD check' for 'R := R-devel', i.e., for "Bioc (pre-) 2.3" within a day or two at the package check page, i.e., at http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.3/bioc-LATEST/ Regards, Martin Maechler, ETH Zurich

To the few bitter and conservative S3 coders still out there: at least this one we don't have to worry about ;) /Henrik
