    Update to 4.1.1

    Upstream changes:
    CHANGES IN R 4.1.1:

      NEW FEATURES:

        * require(pkg, quietly = TRUE) is quieter and in particular does
          not warn if the package is not found.

      DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:

        * Use of ftp:// URIs should be regarded as deprecated, with
          on-going support confined to method = "libcurl" and not routinely
          tested.  (Nowadays no major browser supports them.)

        * The non-default method = "internal" is deprecated for http:// and
          ftp:// URIs for both download.file and url.

        * On Windows, method = "wininet" is deprecated for http://,
          https:// and ftp:// URIs for both download.file and url.  (A
          warning is only given for ftp://.)

          For ftp:// URIs the default method is now "libcurl" if available
          (which it is on CRAN builds).

          method = "wininet" remains the default for http:// and https://
          URIs but if libcurl is available, using method = "libcurl" is
          preferred.

      INSTALLATION:

        * make check now works also without a LaTeX installation.  (Thanks
          to Sebastian Meyer's PR#18103.)

      BUG FIXES:

        * make check-devel works again in an R build configured with
          --without-recommended-packages.

        * qnbinom(p, size, mu) for large size/mu is correct now in a range
          of cases (PR#18095); similarly for the (size, prob)
          parametrization of the negative binomial.  Also qpois() and
          qbinom() are better and or faster for extreme cases.  The
          underlying C code has been modularized and is common to all four
          cases of discrete distributions.

        * gap.axis is now part of the axis() arguments which are passed
          from bxp(), and hence boxplot().  (Thanks to Martin Smith's
          report and suggestions in PR#18109.)

        * .First and .Last can again be set from the site profile.

        * seq.int(from, to, *) and seq.default(..) now work better in large
          range cases where from-to is infinite where the two boundaries
          are finite.

        * all.equal(x,y) now returns TRUE correctly also when several
          entries of abs(x) and abs(y) are close to .Machine$double.xmax,
          the largest finite numeric.

        * model.frame() now clears the object bit when removing the class
          attribute of a value via na.action (PR#18100).

        * charClass() now works with multi-character strings on Windows
          (PR#18104, fixed by Bill Dunlap).

        * encodeString() on Solaris now works again in Latin-1 encoding on
          characters represented differently in UTF-8.  Support for
          surrogate pairs on Solaris has been improved.

        * file.show() on Windows now works with non-ASCII path names
          representable in the current native encoding (PR#18132).

        * Embedded R on Windows can now find R home directory via the
          registry even when installed only for the current user
          (PR#18135).

        * pretty(x) with finite x now returns finite values also in the
          case where the extreme x values are close in size to the maximal
          representable number .Machine$double.xmax.

          Also, it's been tweaked for very small ranges and when a boundary
          is close (or equal) to zero; e.g., pretty(c(0,1e-317)) no longer
          has negative numbers, currently still warning about a very small
          range, and pretty(2^-(1024 - 2^-1/(c(24,10)))) is more accurate.

        * The error message for not finding vignette files when weaving has
          correct file sizes now. (Thanks to Sebastian Meyer's PR#18154.)

        * dnbinom(20, <large>, 1) now correctly gives 0, and similar cases
          are more accurate with underflow precaution.  (Reported by
          Francisco Vera Alcivar in PR#18072.)
