This is for the rcheology package. I run a Shiny web app which lets you examine changes to functions across R versions:
https://hughjonesd.shinyapps.io/rcheology/ Manually storing and converting the Rd might be possible, but it would be burdensome in terms of data (and my time). And if the Rd spec has changed across versions, that’s another problem. More generally, shouldn’t there be publicly available versioned documentation? Python has had this for a long time.
