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.
OK, but that entry was obviously hard to spot even when looking for it!

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.
So...
o The "device" option now is a function in some standard setups.
Consequentially, get(getOption("device")) will fail; programmers should
usually use dev.new() instead. (Assuming that the device is a character
string has been incorrect since 2.5.0.)

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!
