Include R version requirements in README #49

Closed 392781 closed 3 years ago

Spent a while debugging R markdown issues for someone and apparently either xfun version >=0.19 isn't supported or available for install with R version 4.0.0 or something funky is going on.

Either way, it would be useful to have R version requirements listed somewhere like README, docs, or the Github page.

This package was just updated on CRAN today. Usually the Windows binary package won't be available until two days later.

xfun doesn't have a specific requirement of R version. 4.0.0 is definitely supported. The problem is likely to be from CRAN instead.

The README mentioned the way to install the dev version, which also works for Windows and macOS (binary packages are provided on r-universe.dev).

Right, that makes more sense! Thanks.
