+
+Dear Elio, Andrew, Santosh, and Vlada,
+
+[in chronological order of your contributions]
+
+This is to notify you that we have just released to CRAN a new version
+of our R package distr and to thank you for helping us in improving
+our package. 
+
+The actual CRAN release is triggered by some mail from CRAN/Kurt Hornik 
+2022-11-07, complaining about some flaws in the HTML versions of our 
+manuals, detected by the most recent version of R CMD check. 
+
+These flaws are fixed, together with some updated URLs.
+
+More importantly, we want to explicitely thank you for your contributions 
+which have finally found their way to a CRAN release:
+
++ Elio Campitelli <elio.campitelli at cima.fcen.uba.ar> drew our attention to
+  a glitch in catching argument names in bAcDcLcDistribution.R
++ Andrew Robinson <apro at unimelb.edu.au> brought up some error in 
+  distributional arithmetics: To produce meaningful error messages we had 
+  code that tried to deparse operands in operations with restricted 
+  definition domains like "/", "^"; it turned our that our idea to 
+  catch errorsin this deparsing within a try()-catch did not work 
+  any longer when called from within a function; as way out, we now 
+  have code which no longer needs the try()-catch and instead climbs 
+  up the parsing tree and searches for the first occurrence of "/" 
+  resp. "^" and deparses this
++ Santhosh V <Santhosh.V at se.com> detected some glitch when producing
+  slot q for compound and mixing distributions  
++ Vlada Milchevskaya <vmilchev at uni-koeln.de> pointed us to the case
+  for CompoundDistribution() that argument NumbOfSummandsDistr is a 
+  Dirac distribution which needed special treatment
+
+Best regards, Peter

+This release is triggered by a mail from CRAN/Kurt Hornik 2022-11-07, drawing our attention to some flaws in the HTML versions of our manuals, detected by the most recent version of R CMD check.  These flaws are fixed, together with some updated URLs; in addition, we fix some glitches detected by  elio.campitelli at cima.fcen.uba.ar,
+apro at unimelb.edu.au, Santhosh.V at se.com, and vmilchev at uni-koeln.de. For details as to these changes, see the NEWS file to our package.
+
+Before submitting, we went through winbuilder on r-release and r-devel, r-oldrelease, without any NOTES in the summary. 
+
+This is our first release built under R>=4.2 and the new tool chain on windows, i.e., rtools42, only building a 64bit version, so there do appear some minor differences when checking differences from 'distr-Ex.Rout' to 'distr-Ex.Rout.save' which we think should be ignored though (and are according to R CMD check --as-cran).
+
+Best, Peter
