This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘download.file()’ on Windows now uses ‘URLdecode()’ to determine the file extension, and uses binary transfer (‘mode = "wb"’) also for file extension ‘.rds’.
The help page for ‘download.file()’ now contains the same information on all platforms.
‘agrep("..|..", .., fixed=FALSE)’ now matches when it should, thanks to a reminder by Andreas Kolter.
