(math/R-robustbase) Updated 0.93.5 to 0.93.8

(R CMD Rdconv -t txt math/R-robustbase/work/robustbase/inst/NEWS.Rd)
CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-8 (2021-06-01, svn r879):

  NEW FEATURES:

         * 'scaleTau2()' gets new optional 'iter = 1' and 'tol.iter'
           arguments; mostly experimentally to see if or when iteration
           makes sense.

         * 'Qn(x, *)' gets new optional 'k = .' to indicate the
           "quantile" i.e., order statistic to be computed (with
           default as previously hard-coded).
           Experimentally to try for cases where more than n/2
           observations coincide (with the median), i.e., 'x[i] == x0
           == median(x[])', and hence 'Qn(x)' and 'mad(x)' are zero.

         * 'adjOutlyingness()' gets new option 'IQRtype = 7'.

  Tweaks:

         * For tests: *again* differences found in the non-sensical
           'adjOutlyingness()' example (with large p/n, hence many
           "random" values in the order of 1e15).  Disable the test for
           now (and record the result in *.Rout).

  BUG FIXES:

         * The 'test()' utility in 'tests/lmrob-ex12.R' no longer calls
           'matrix(x, n,4)' where the length of x does not match '4n'.
           Similar change in 'tests/mc-strict.R'

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-7 (2021-01-03, svn r865):

  NEW FEATURES:

         * Use '\CRANpkg{.}' in most places, providing web links to the
           respective CRAN package page.

         * 'adjOutlyingness()' now gains optional parameters to be
           passed to 'mc()'.

  BUG FIXES:

         * update the internal man page, so new 'checkRdContents()' is
           happy.

         * fix several '\url{.}''s that now are diagnosed as 'moved'.

         * 'adjOutlyingness()' finally works with 'p.samp > p'.

         * 'scaleTau2()' now works with 'Inf' and very large values,
           and obeys new 'na.rm = FALSE' argument.

         * add 'check.environment=FALSE' to some of the 'all.equal()'
           calls (for 'R-devel', i.e., future R 4.1.x).

         * 'wgt.himedian(numeric())' now returns 'NA' instead of
           occasionally seg.faulting or inf.looping.  Ditto for a case
           when called from 'Qn()'.

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-6 (2020-03-20, svn r854):

  NEW FEATURES:

         * 'splitFrame()' now treats 'character' columns also as
           categorical (the same as 'factor's).

  Tweaks:

         * Small updates, also in checks for newer compiler settings,
           e.g., 'FCLEN' macro; also F77_*() etc, in order to fix 'LTO'
           issues.

         * More careful or _less_ calling 'intpr()': correct "Rank" of
           array (for gfortran/gcc 10, when '-fallow-argument-mismatch'
           is not set).
