Your current version of R is older than current version on CRAN. R has been updated recently, so you should update it when you have a chance.

Keep in mind, that this is a warning message, meaning that it won't (most of the time) affect usage of the package. The way R is updated tends to be backwards-compatible, especially when it is a third number to go up (so, previous version was 3.4.3, current is 3.4.4).

@mishabalyasin is correct, some of which I expressed in my response to the GitHub issue you opened re. same:

In the future, please take into account that we try to avoid cross-posting of active questions for this very reason— (roughly four hours ago, Misha and I both answered your question, not knowing that the other was doing so on a different platform).

That's not to say that issues won't be mentioned here on the community site— in fact, I know I've referred issues here, and vice-versa, many a question here in community have turned out to be bugs or feature requests reported or made in the appropriate GitHub repos. However, we ask that you avoid concurrently cross posting.

For more detail, see the FAQ below:
