Package: r-cran-ragg
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: normal

R 4.3.0 brought (once again) a new graphics API which requires a rebuild for
functionality that involves creating graphics device.  Once rebuilt the
following will again work:

    > getRversion()
    [1] ‘4.3.1’
    > packageVersion("ragg")
    [1] ‘1.2.5’
    > library(ragg)
    > agg_png(tempfile())
    Error in agg_png(tempfile()) : Graphics API version mismatch
    > 

R Core decided again not to call this a breaking change, and I concur. We may
want to look into a graphics api tag for the next release. For now, a simple
rebuild should do.

Thanks, Dirk
