This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘lengths(x)’ now also works (trivially) for atomic ‘x’ and hence can be used more generally as an efficient replacement of ‘sapply(x, length)’ and similar.
‘news()’ more flexibly extracts dates from package ‘NEWS.Rd’ files.
A change in ‘RSiteSearch()’ in R 3.2.0 caused it to submit invalid URLs. (PR#16329)
‘Rscript’ and command line ‘R’ silently ignored incomplete statements at the end of a script; now they are reported as parse errors. (PR#16350)
On some platforms ‘nchar(x, "c")’ and ‘nchar(x, "w")’ would return values (possibly ‘NA’) for inputs which were declared to be UTF-8 but were not, or for invalid strings without a marked encoding in a multi-byte locale, rather than give an error. Additional checks have been added to mitigate this.
