Ensure consistent code formatting (VS.NET text editor options)
update build number:
- in the DESCRIPTION file
- update the NEWS and INSTALL files, and readme.md or alike if any
- in the file packages\rClr\R\rClr-package.r, for roxygen2 documentation
prior to updating the docco, you probably want to check/install an updated package. See next line and pointer to CMD line build instructions
you probably will do a few iterations over the following sub-steps
- make sure to update the documentation from roxygen; see build\document_rClr.r.
- rebuild the vignettes to HTML see build\document_rClr.r
- R CMD check of package build passes with a minimum of warnings and notes
- (optional?) check the CRAN packaging process; r2clr\doc\notesonbuild_CRAN.txt
  - build the package with R CMD build --as-cran to get a tarball. Note: known issue with file permission if check on that; at least if built via a CMD prompt. Maybe OK on Linux?
All unit tests pass within determined scope
- On the dev machine
- Install/test on a machine with unprivileged user credentials
Work on a clean laptop wiped of prerequisites
- Install/run; Check/update the installation process on the go
Run through tutorials
Document the mapping of data types between R and .NET
