Hi bioc-devel (cc Michael Lawrence),

As some of you might be aware of, ggplot2 just had a major version
release described in detail at
https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/09/ggplot2-4-0-0/.

I see that several of my Bioconductor packages that make
visualizations with ggplot2 (either directly or under the hood through
other packages such as ggbio) are now failing in bioc-release and
bioc-devel.

* spatialLIBD: 
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.22/data-experiment-LATEST/spatialLIBD/nebbiolo2-checksrc.html
seems like can fix by changing a unit test. I actually just did by
making the unit test more versatile so it works with older versions of
ggplot2 too: 
https://github.com/LieberInstitute/spatialLIBD/commit/910497195987e09ebef745437056a09b53c7a464.
* regionReport:
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.22/bioc-LATEST/regionReport/nebbiolo2-checksrc.html.
Failing because ggbio is failing.
* derfinderPlot: uses regionReport, which uses ggbio.
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.22/bioc-LATEST/derfinderPlot/nebbiolo2-buildsrc.html

Michael seems to have recently (< 24 hrs ago) been made aware of this
issue at https://github.com/lawremi/ggbio/issues/175.

But well, other Bioconductor packages might also be having related
ggplot2 v4.0.0 issues, which is why I'm sending this email to
bioc-devel. Just as a heads up!

Best,
Leo
