A priori I don't expect there to be any major differences. At one
point
I made a minor modification to how it dealt with ties. I also changed
the C code that is used when you access quantile normalization code
using normalize.quantiles() which is what
normalize.AffyBatch.quantiles() is calling. This second change was
made
so that the function would handle NA values.
rma() etc still call the older standard code, though this has also
been
adjusted slightly for the ties behavior meaning that there may be
small
differences in RMA expression values etc.
The ties behavior affects situations where the number of values tied
is
even (odd numbers of ties were and remain handled in the same manner
that they always have been). In the raw CEL file values you will often
find large numbers of ties, thus this is what I suspect is driving
your
result.
Best,
Ben

Code I used for testing R-2.5.X series set of code:
library(affy)
set.seed(123456789)
Data <- matrix(rnorm(10^7),ncol=10)
Data.norm <- normalize.quantiles(Data)
save(Data,Data.norm,file="old.Rda")
sessionInfo()
library(affydata)
data(Dilution)
Dilution.norm <- normalize.AffyBatch.quantiles(Dilution,
type="pmonly")
Dilution.old <- Dilution
Dilution.pm.old <- pm(Dilution.old)
Dilution.pm.norm.old <- normalize.quantiles(Dilution.pm.old)
save(Dilution.norm, Dilution.old, Dilution.pm.old,
Dilution.pm.norm.old,
file="Dil-old.Rda")
Toy.matrix <-cbind(c(1,2,3,3,3,3,7,8),1:8)

Toy.matrix2 <-cbind(c(1,2,3,3,3,6,7,8),1:8)
normalize.quantiles(Toy.matrix2)
eset.old <- rma(Dilution)
exprvals.old <- exprs(eset.old)
save(exprvals.old,file="ev_old.Rda")
