New CRAN release?

[strengejacke]

We have a few new features, and some of them may appear in @profandyfield 's new book, so we could have a new release on CRAN...

@IndrajeetPatil WDYT?

I was actually waiting for ggplot2 4.0.0 to come out because then we could release a version of see compatible with it. WDYT? Do we have enough time?

[strengejacke]

Yes, makes sense. Let's wait for that release, I don't think there's time pressure

[x] Polish NEWS

Totally read this and thought, "Wow, I wonder why tidyverse publishes translated NEWS for Poland specifically?"

I just installed ggplot 4 (https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/09/ggplot2-4-0-0/), and there are a lot of snapshot tests failing now, because proportions / spacings etc. slightly changed (or we haven't updated snapshots for some time 😬 ).

Should we try to "fix" them, or just accept new snapshots?
E.g., the visual tests for themes, the spacing between plot and axis labels is closer than before.

[bwiernik]

Could you look through them to check that the new ones look reasonable/not janky. If they look fine, I think it's okay to just accept the new ones.

Some examples: Top pictures are ggplot 4, bottom pictures ggplot 3.5.2. Interestingly, there seems to be no difference in spacing with axes when we use show.ticks = TRUE.

library(ggplot2)
library(see)

ggplot(
  iris,
  aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)
) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_modern()

ggplot(
  iris,
  aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length, color = Species)
) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_modern(show.ticks = TRUE)

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length)) +
      geom_point(color = "white") +
      theme_abyss()

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Width, y = Sepal.Length)) +
      geom_point() +
      theme_azurelight()

Hmm, those look a little too close to the axis to my eye, but maybe not a big deal?
