#7607 fixed a reported bug in a released version, so a news entry was probably in order, which I forgot about again.

@aitap aitap requested a review from MichaelChirico as a code owner January 20, 2026 09:12
NEWS.md Outdated

9. `foverlaps()` no longer crashes due to out-of-bounds access to list and integer vectors when `y` has no rows or the non-range part of the join fails, [#7597](https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/7597). Thanks to @nextpagesoft for the report and @aitap for the fix.

10. The package dynamic library now exports only a single function, `R_init_data_table`, fixing [#7605](https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/7605) and preventing similar name conflicts in the future. Thanks to @ced75 for the report and @aitap for the fix.
