• Replace the .Names argument with names in the call to structure(), addressing the NOTE introduced in R-devel r90251.

• Minor documentation fixes.

Changes in version 1.98-1.19 (2026-06-03)

• Remove ⁠omegahat.net⁠ from URL checks and network-accessing examples, since it's unclear whether the new domain owner can be trusted. Offline references still remain.

• Harden the examples against network access problems. Impose a limit of 20 redirects in url.check(), but rely more on tryCatch.

• Silence an rchk warning.
