Using todays freshly downloaded compiled version of R-2.10.0 beta
let me pose this question once again:
myconn<-textConnection("print(11*11)")

produces
[1] 121
Warning message:
In source(myconn) : argument 'encoding = "native.enc"' will be ignored
So I get a warning about a default parameter value I did not use myself.
This is somewhat strange.
Up to 2.9.2 this warning did not show up,
and 2.9.2 also has the encoding parameter.
source(myconn,encoding="unknown")
does not produce a warning.
Will it remain like this?
I am asking because then I have to adapt a certain mechanism in RExcel.
I spent a little time looking into this yesterday, and it appears to
have shown up quite a while ago (it was there in July builds, for
instance). I will eventually track it down, but certainly not for 2.10.0.
Nothing is certain. I found that this warning came from something I
introduced in May; it appears to me to be in the class of trivial bugs
that the development guidelines allow to be fixed now. So I've
committed the change to the 2.10.0 branch.

Generally bugs are easier to find when they're fresh, which is why we
ask people to try out the R-devel builds. In this case, it's obvious
how to fix the bug, but I'd rather not do that until I see what the
change that caused it was intended to do: I don't want to undo that.
