The source package (the .tar.gz file obtained using R CMD build) will
keep working fine on both R 4.3 and R 4.4.

The binary package (the .zip file obtained using R CMD INSTALL --build
and produced on Win-Builder) is only guaranteed to work with the R
version that was used to build the binary package.

This is the reason why https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RALSA offers
a single download of the source package...

>> Package source: 	RALSA_1.3.5.tar.gz

...but multiple, separate downloads of binary versions of the package,
for R-4.4, R-4.3, and R-4.2:

>> Windows binaries: 	r-devel: RALSA_1.3.5.zip, r-release:
>> RALSA_1.3.5.zip, r-oldrel: RALSA_1.3.5.zip
