### Description

Prints the news documentation for the current version of `spatstat` or another specified package.

### Usage

### Arguments

`package` | Name of package for which the latest news should be printed.

### Details

This function prints the news documentation about changes in the current installed version of the spatstat package.

The function can be called simply by typing its name without parentheses (see the Examples).

If `major=FALSE`, only information for the current minor version `"x.y-z"` will be printed. If `major=TRUE` (the default), all information for the current major version `"x.y"` will be printed, encompassing versions `"x.y-0"`, `"x.y-1"`, up to `"x.y-z"`.

If `package` is given, then the function reads the news for the specified package from its `NEWS` file (if it has one) and prints only the entries that refer to the current version of the package.

To see the news for all previous versions as well as the current version, use the R utility `news`. See the Examples.
