For each version of R there is a list of the most important changes in
R for package developers at http://developer.r-project.org, usually with
advice on what changes you have to make in your code.

The third of ten items in the list for 1.8.0 is
  3) Multi-argument returns are deprecated.  Use a named list, e.g. replace
      return(pred, se)
  by
      return(list(pred=pred, se=se))


This is easier than reading through the NEWS file.
