For a given TERR release, how to identify the open-source R version used in TERR's compatibility testing.
Issue/Introduction
For a given TERR release, how to identify the open-source R version used in TERR's compatibility testing.
Environment
All supported environments
Resolution
The "major" and "minor" components in TERR's version object identify the open-source R version used in TERR's compatibility testing.
TERR's built-in getRversion() function combines these two components (using a call to paste()) to display the corresponding R version to look for on the open-source R community's CRAN repository (https://cran.r-project.org/).
The following example shows that for TERR 4.4.0, the corresponding open-source R version to use is R 3.4.1:
