+This is a patch release in response to a 2023-06-28 email from Kurt Hornik about inputs to numeric_version() and package_version().
 
- * We saw 0 new problems
- * We failed to check 2 packages
+In this case, the problematic inputs came from implicit usage via `>` in some tests and these have been removed.
 
-Issues with CRAN packages are summarised below.
