#RStats 4.1.0 in @Debian (experimental b/c release freeze, plus eddelbuettel/ppaR400 repo), and #RockerProject r-base container (latest and 4.1.0) -- the @Ubuntu and @Debian CRAN ports (thanks to @marutter and @JohannesRanke) will come shortly as will @Docker r-base.

The data team at @TheEconomist outdid itself: cover story of its Covid 19 excess death model, lead article, longer briefing, tech background at economist.com/graphic-detail…, additional page with per-country fits and a @Github repo with code and data. Bravo!

Truncation of (daily) dates to years in #RStats came up on SO, and along with heavy hitters @bolkerb and (twitterless?) Thomas Petzoldt three nice answers were put up. I like my (revised) base R one---but there is a 'wart' with `trunc.Date`. stackoverflow.com/a/67562643…

Sometimes I think about how @xkcd has just been out here writing a perfect social history of the pandemic in real time.

You can also test the coming #RStats 4.1.0 release via:
- @Debian packages, currently only in 'experimental' given the upcoming release,
- the eddelbuettel/ppaR400 @Github repo
- the rocker/r-base:4.1.0 container wherever Docker runs
Testing helps. Please give it a whirl.

The #RStats 4.1.0 test release binaries are now at the second round of 'alpha' releases (dated 2021-04-26) available in @Debian experimental, the PPA I set up, and via #RockerProject container.
Please help in testing the upcoming R 4.1.0 release.

Second CRAN Policy revision spotted by my bot this week. Following a typo-only fix, this revision moves away from supporting ftp:// access; a corresponding change was committed to r-devel too. #rstats
