I'd like to recommend that links to (local) NEWS and CHANGES are added
to the help.start() overview pages. help("NEWS")/help("CHANGE LOG")
and help("CHANGES") could display/refer to them as well.
Are you talking of the NEWS and CHANGES for R itself, or for packages too? It would be very useful having a convenience function for this for packages too. Perhaps something like library(news=MASS) (or MASS as a character string) and library(changes=spdep) similar to library(help=MASS) Or have I overlooked something, and a function for this already exists?
