First, the description is
quiet: logical: if true, reduce the amount of output.
not 'no output'.
This 'change' is seen only for installs of binary packages. The
difference is that the default is now type = "both", and 3.1.3 used type
= 'binary': adding type = "binary" produces what you expected in 3.2.0,
and type = "both" is already quieter in R-patched.
(Note that it is rather difficult to test install.packages for Mac
binaries prior to release as that relies on a 'CRAN distribution' which
pretty much has to be the default version on the machine.)
