Add a NEWS.md, salvaged from the closed v2.7 branch - #59
Merged
Conversation
Adrien wrote a breaking-changes writeup on the v2.7 branch (#50) that never landed. That PR is now closed as superseded, so this lifts the NEWS file out of it, keeps his replacement table for the removed legacy functions, and brings it forward to cover what actually shipped: the worker-cleanup trap and the doctor in 2.6.0, the RSPH config changes in 2.6.4, the barrier reporting and faster doctor exit in 2.7.0, and the legacy removal in 2.8.0. Merge after #58, which is what sets the version to 2.8.0.

Salvaged from #50, which is now closed as superseded.
Adrien wrote a breaking-changes writeup on the
v2.7branch that never landed. His replacement table for the removed legacy functions is the useful part and it is kept nearly verbatim, brought forward to describe what actually shipped rather than what that branch proposed.Covers the four releases this work produced:
git_versionremoval and the R 4.5.1 default (Reap orphaned R workers on RSPH job cancellation #51)swf_cleanup_r_workers(), the HPC doctor, and the watch-list steps (Add R worker cleanup trap and HPC doctor tooling #52)One sequencing note: merge this after #58, which is what sets the version to 2.8.0. Landing it first would leave
NEWS.mddescribing a versionDESCRIPTIONdoes not yet claim. There is no file conflict either way.
