Are you talking of the NEWS and CHANGES for R itself, or for packages
too? It would be very useful having a convenience function for this for
packages too. Perhaps something like

library(news=MASS) (or MASS as a character string)
and
library(changes=spdep)

similar to library(help=MASS)

Or have I overlooked something, and a function for this already exists?

?news
