This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
(Unix-alikes.) ‘system(cmd, input = )’ now uses ‘shell-execution-environment’ redirection, which will be more natural if ‘cmd’ is not a single command (but requires a POSIX-compliant shell). (PR#15508)
Some unusual arguments to ‘embedFonts()’ can now be specified as character vectors, and the defaults have changed accordingly.
The function determining the default number of knots for ‘smooth.spline()’ is now exported, as ‘.nknots.smspl’.
‘R CMD build’ will fail with an error if one of the packages specified in the ‘VignetteBuilder’ field is not installed. (Without loading those packages it cannot be ascertained which files are intended to be vignettes.) (Wish of PR#15775.)
Misguided attempts to use ‘chull()’ with non-finite points now give an error (related to PR#15777).
