NEW FEATURES
o serialize(connection = NULL) now returns a raw vector (and not
a character string). unserialize() accepts both old and new
formats (and has since 2.3.0).
serialize.Rd:
The function \code{serialize} writes \code{object} to the specified
connection. Shari
I noticed today that in R 2.3.1, I get
> serialize(list(1,2,3), NULL, ascii = TRUE)
[1] "A\n2\n131841\n131840\n19\n3\n14\n1\n1\n14\n1\n2\n14\n1\n3\n"

but in R 2.4.0 alpha I get
> serialize(list(1,2,3), NULL, ascii = TRUE)
[1] 41 0a 32 0a 31 33 32 30 39 36 0a 31 33 31 38 34 30 0a 31 39 0a
