June meeting: What's new in R 4.1.0?

On May 18, a minor update to R 4.1.0 releases: https://developer.r-project.org/

For our June meeting, let's talk about the update: Did you install the new version? Did it break your code? Looking at the changelog, what catches our eye? Can we recreate some of the bugs that the update fixes?

While the update shouldn't change much in our everyday workflows, this is an opportunity to take a more in-depth look at mechanics that we don't usually encounter using R, get more familiar with the contributors' vocabulary and maybe even discover useful functionalities.

As always, everyone is welcome to join the conversation, ask questions and share their ideas and experiences, no matter their background or skill level.
