Details

.Defunct is the function to which defunct functions are set.

category has been an old-S function before there were factors; should be replaced by factor throughout!

The *chisq() functions now take an optional non-centrality argument, so the *nchisq() functions are no longer needed.

The new function dev.print() should now be used for saving plots to a file or printing them.

provide and its object .Provided have been removed. They were never used for their intended purpose, to allow one package to subsume another.

dotplot and stripplot have been renamed to dotchart and stripchart, respectively.

getenv has been replaced by Sys.getenv.

*.url are replaced by calling read.table, scan or source on a url connection.

httpclient was used by the deprecated "socket" method of download.file.

parse.dcf has been replaced by read.dcf, which is much faster, but has a slightly different interface.

.Alias provided an unreliable way to create duplicate references to the same object. There is no direct replacement. Where multiple references to a single object are required for semantic reasons consider using environments or external pointers. There are some notes on http://developer.r-project.org.

reshape*, which were experimental, are replaced by reshape. This has a different syntax and allows multiple time-varying variables.
