Hi.
Under R-news there is an entry for 3.6.2 patched regarding LAPACK. However, when uncompresding the current R-patched, it creates R-Rc directories. Is this a naming oversight or is the patched version actually the unadjusted release candidate?
Thank you,
Avi

This is the relevant part of the NEWS file
CHANGES IN R 3.6.2:
NEW FEATURES:
* runmed(x, *) gains a new option na.action determining _how_ to
handle NaN or NA in x.
* dotchart() gains new options ann, xaxt, frame.plot and log.
INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
* Detection of the C stack direction has been moved from run-time
to configure: this is safer with LTO builds and allows the
detection to be overridden - see file config.site.
* Source-code changes enable installation on platforms using gcc
-fno-common (the expected default for gcc 10.x).
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
* installTrChar (which is nowadays is wrapped by installChar) is
defined in Rinternals.h. (Neither are part of the API.)
PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
* Header Rconfig.h contains the value of FC_LEN_T deduced at
installation which is used by the prototypes in headers
R_ext/BLAS.h and R_ext/Lapack.h but to avoid extensive breakage
this is only exposed when USE_FC_LEN_T is defined.
If a package's C/C++ calls to BLAS/LAPACK allow for the 'hidden'
arguments used by most Fortran compilers to pass the lengths of
Fortran character arguments, define USE_FC_LEN_T and include
Rconfig.h (possibly _via_ R.h) before including R_ext/BLAS.h or
R_ext/Lapack.h.
* A package with Fortran source code and perhaps C (but not C++)
sources can request for its shared object/DLL to be linked by the
Fortran compiler by including a line USE_FC_TO_LINK= in
src/Makevars[.win] and using $(SHLIB_OPENMP_FFLAGS) as part of
PKG_LIBS.
The known reason for doing so is a package which uses Fortran
(only) OpenMP on a platform where the Fortran OpenMP runtime is
incompatible with the C one (e.g. gfortran 9.x with clang).
UTILITIES:
* R CMD check has a new option to mitigate checks leaving
files/directories in /tmp. See the 'R Internals' manual - this
is part of --as-cran.
Windows:
* The default standard for C++ in package installation is C++11 (as
it has been on other platforms where available since R 3.6.0: the
default toolchain on Windows was defaulting to C++98).
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
* Support for specifying C++98 in package installation is
deprecated.
* Support in R CMD config for F77, FCPIFCPLAGS, CPP, CXXCPP and
CXX98 and similar is deprecated. (CPP is found from the system
make and may well not be set.)
Use $CC -E and $CXX -E instead of CPP and CXXCPP.
BUG FIXES:
* runmed(x, *) when x contains missing values now works
consistently for both algorithm="Stuetzle" and "Turlach", and no
longer segfaults for "Turlach", as reported by Hilmar Berger.
* apply(diag(3), 2:3, mean) now gives a helpful error message.
* dgamma(x, shape, log=TRUE) now longer overflows to Inf for shape
< 1 and very small x, fixing PR#17577, reported by Jonathan
Rougier.
* Buffer overflow in building error messages fixed. Reported by
Benjamin Tremblay.
* options(str = .) is correctly initialized at package utils load
time, now. A consequence is that str() in scripts now is more
consistent to interactive use, e.g., when displaying function(**)
argument lists.
* as.numeric(<call>) now gives correct error message.
* Printing ls.str() no longer wrongly shows "<missing>" in rare
cases.
* Auto-printing S4 objects no longer duplicates the object, for
faster speed and reduced memory consumption. Reported by Aaron
Lun.
* pchisq(<LRG>, <LRG>, ncp=100) no longer takes practically forever
in some cases. Hence ditto for corresponding qchisq() calls.
* x %% L for finite x no longer returns NaN when L is infinite, nor
suffers from cancellation for large finite L, thanks to Long Qu's
PR#17611.
Analogously, x %/% L and L %/% x suffer less from cancellation
and return values corresponding to limits for large L.
* grepl(NA, *) now returns logical as documented.
* options(warn=1e11) is an error now, instead of later leading to C
stack overflow because of infinite recursion.
* R_tryCatch no longer transfers control for all conditions.
Reported and patch provided by Lionel Henry in PR#17617.
* format(object.size(.), digits=NULL) now works, fixing PR#17628
reported by Jonathan Carroll.
* get_all_vars(f, d) now also works for cases, e.g. where d
contains a matrix. Reported by Simon Wood in 2009 and patch
provided by Ben Bolker in PR#13624.
Additionally, it now also works when some variables are data
frames, fixing PR#14905, reported by Patrick Breheny.
* barplot() could get spacings wrong if there were exactly two bars
PR#15522. Patch by Michael Chirico.
* power.t.test() works in more cases when returning values of n
smaller than 2.
* dotchart(*, pch=., groups=.) now works better. Reported by
Robert and confirmed by Nic Rochette in PR#16953.
* canCoerce(obj, cl) no longer assumes length(class(obj)) == 1.
* plot.formula(*, subset = *) now also works in a boundary case
reported by Robert Schlicht (TU Dresden).
* readBin() and writeBin() of a rawConnection() now also work in
large cases, thanks to a report and proposal by Taeke Harkema in
PR#17665.
