Here is the NEWS item, for 2.5.0
o options(device = ) now accepts a function object as well as
the name of a function.
The construct in the subject line has been broken ever since.

Nevertheless, perhaps an explicit NEWS entry could be warranted, something
like
o The "device" option can now be a function, and is one in some standard
setups. Consequentially, get(getOption("device")) will fail; programmers
should usually use dev.new() instead.

Hi,
I have a R-package that works fine with R 2.7.0 (it builds, checks and
installs) but not with R 2.8.0.
There is no 'R 2.8.0' and will not be for some months. You probably mean
R-devel, but your code has been erroneous since R 2.5.0.
Running check in 2.8.0 gives the following output :
[...]
* checking examples ... ERROR
[...]
The error most likely occurred in:
[...]
dev <- show.pr(mr.tbl, col="green", type="b")
Error in get(getOption("device")) : invalid first argument
Calls: show.pr -> get
Execution halted
How can I change this code so that it works fine with R 2.8.0?
Thanks!
