  • There is a new version of R released right now so oldrel is now 4.3, at the same time, release is 4.3.
  • Re-organised the rtools finding mechanism, because there are a lot of rtools now, see Add Windows ARM bindings #225

There is Rtools for ARM, and Rtools for 4.4 that is added here.

I'd like to recap what is new here: Before, we specified the Rtools version manually for each new release, as we had to write which rtools version in the matrix.config. Instead now, we rely fully on setup-r and the version of Rtools it wants to use (they are tied to R versions now), and we greedily try to detect which rtools path is available.

This means that the list has to be updated manually now
This is still an improvement, because with Windows ARM, the path is a little different than the
pattern that we observed before.
What we ought to do is either extract the rtools path from PATH, or scan for which path is present with R tools in it.

Neither R, not setup-r gives these rtools_soft paths, and thus we cannot exploit their configuration strategies.
