Simon,

I have tested an R-4.0.0 (i.e. R version 4.0.0 alpha (2020-04-01 r78130)
with my two packages (nleqslv and geigen) and all my private tests.
I have not found any problems with checking and testing these packages.
(I used Apple clang and Coudert's gfortran 8.2)

The only issue I have encountered is:

The R GUI hangs when I click "What's New In This Version" in the Help menu =
item.

ine tools (this should make it easy to replicate the setup using Travis, fo=
r example). All 3rd party libraries that CRAN uses are available in http://=
