**On the 15th of October, 2023, we received an email from Prof Ripley about an issue in UTF-8 strings in our documentation. This version contains a fix to this issue.**
As with all previous >20 releases, some CHECKs might return a NOTE for *just* hitting the installation size limit, though its size has been brought down to a minimum in collaboration with CRAN maintainers previously.
We consider this a high-impact package: it was published in the Journal of Statistical Software (2022), is included in a CRAN Task View (Epidemiology), and is according to download stats used in almost all countries in the world. If there is anything to note, please let us know up-front without directly archiving the current version. That said, we continually unit test our package extensively and have no reason to assume that anything is wrong.
