This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘library()’ will report a warning when an insufficient dependency version is masking a sufficient one later on the library search path.
New function ‘extSoftVersion()’ to report on the versions of third-party software in use in this session. Currently reports versions of ‘zlib’, ‘bzlib’, the ‘liblzma’ from ‘xz’, PCRE, ICU, TRE and the ‘iconv’ implementation.
A similar function ‘grSoftVersion()’ in package ‘grDevices’ reports on third-party graphics software.
Function ‘tcltk::tclVersion()’ reports the Tcl/Tk version.
‘as.table()’ now allows tables with one or more dimensions of length 0 (such as ‘as.table(integer())’).
‘R CMD check --as-cran’ checks a ‘README.md’ file can be processed: this needs ‘pandoc’ installed.
The ‘as.dendrogram()’ method for ‘"hclust"’ objects gains a ‘check’ argument protecting against memory explosion for invalid inputs.
‘Math2’ S4 group generics failed to correctly dispatch ‘"structure"’- and ‘"nonStructure"’-derived classes.
