Where are CRAN releases coming from?

[jayqi]

The last documented release in NEWS is 0.4.5 from 2015-04-15. Then 0.4.7 a few days later on CRAN (though not documented).

Since April 2015, there have been 3 additional releases: main page, archive

• 0.4.7.1 - 2017-03-21
• 0.4.7.2 - 2017-10-04
• 0.4.7.3 - 2019-12-01 (this week!)

This package has ORPHANED status, and the repo hasn't had commits since Feb 26, 2018. Are you pushing these releases @romainfrancois? It seems kind of scary that the package is getting updated with no information about what is changing.

It also appears related to this issue that someone opened this week for pkgdown: r-lib/pkgdown#1192
