The canonical form [1] of an R package Makefile includes the
following:
- The first stanza includes R_PKGNAME, R_PKGVER, PKGREVISION (as
needed), and CATEGORIES.
- HOMEPAGE is not present but defined in math/R/Makefile.extension to
refer to the CRAN web page describing the package. Other relevant
web pages are often linked from there via the URL field.
This updates all current R packages to this form, which will make
regular updates _much_ easier, especially using pkgtools/R2pkg.

Notable changes since 1.0.0:
- RSQLite has been rewritten (essentially from scratch) in C++ with
Rcpp.
- You can now use SQLite’s URL specification for databases.
- Queries, query parameters and table data are always converted to
UTF-8 before being sent to the database.
- New strategy for prepared queries. Create a prepared query with
dbSendQuery() or dbSendStatement() and bind values with dbBind().
- dbSendQuery(), dbGetQuery(), dbSendStatement() and dbExecute() also
support inline parameterised queries.
- Improve column type inference.
- dbFetch() uses the same row name strategy as dbReadTable().
- dbColumnInfo() will now return information even before you’ve
retrieved any data.
- New sqliteVersion() prints the header and library versions of
RSQLite.
- Deprecation warnings are given only once, with a clear reference to
the source.
- datasetsDb() now returns a read-only database, to avoid
modifications to the installed file.
- Values of class "integer64" are now supported for dbWriteTable() and
dbBind().
- New connections now automatically load default RSQLite extensions.
- Implement dbUnquoteIdentifier().
