Are '1st decimal' R rollouts (e.g. 3.2.0) qualitatively different?
Hi all, With the upcoming 3.2.0 upgrade, the question came up among my students, how often a regular user who is not a cutting-edge developer "must" upgrade their R, given that on Windows/Mac this includes the inconvenience of re-installing dozens of packages. In this context, I was wondering whether the annual '1st decimal' upgrade like 3.2.0 is qualitatively different from the interim ones like 3.1.3. In other words, whether some changes are reserved for those annual upgrades, or whether all upgrades are essentially equivalent. Thanks! Assaf
