What's new in this version:

New features:
- New function utils::findCRANmirror() to find out if a CRAN mirror has been selected, otherwise fallback to the main site. This behaves in the same way as tools::CRAN_package_db() and is intended for packages wishing to access CRAN for purposes other than installing packages.
- The need for this was shown by a day when the main CRAN website was offline and a dozen or so packages which had its URL hardcoded failed their checks

Installation on a Unix-alike:
- The libraries searched for by --with-blas (without a value) now include BLIS (after OpenBLAS but before ATLAS)
- The included LAPACK sources have been updated to 3.10.1

Utilities:
- The (full path to) the command tidy to be used for HTML validation can be set by environment variable R_TIDYCMD
- Setting environment variable _R_CHECK_RD_VALIDATE_RD2HTML_ to a false value will override R CMD check --as-cran and turn off HTML validation. This provides a way to circumvent a problematic.
