Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked roxygen2 pull request #1750 and the issue's example bullets for R 4.0.0 and other releases. Update the relevant description with advice and add a news bullet plus concise release-specific TODO lists, including when backports such as isFALSE can be dropped.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Would be a little advice on bumping description and adding a news bullet, but would mostly consist of a brief list of todo bullets for each release, e.g. for 4.0.0:
- Switch to base pipe
- Replace purrr
~and inlinefunction()with\() - Drop
stringsAsFactors = FALSE - Use raw strings for strings with many
\\escapes
(e.g. https://github.com/r-lib/roxygen2/pull/1750/changes)
Bullets for other versions could include when to drop various backports (e.g. isFALSE)
