This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
The ‘experimental’ alternative specification of a name space via ‘.Export()’ etc is now deprecated.
‘zip.file.extract()’ is now deprecated.
The default for ‘FFLAGS’ and ‘FCFLAGS’ with ‘gfortran’ on x86_64 Linux has been changed back to ‘-g -O2’: however, setting ‘-g -O’ may still be needed for ‘gfortran 4.3.x’.
Fixes for subsetting or subassignment of ‘"raster"’ objects when not both ‘i’ and ‘j’ are specified.
‘R CMD INSTALL’ was not always respecting the ‘ZipData: yes’ field of a ‘DESCRIPTION’ file (although this is frequently incorrectly specified for packages with no data or which specify lazy-loading of data).
Since R 2.10.0, ‘z^n’ was computed incorrectly for ‘n >= 3’ and ‘n <= -3’ on platforms for which the macro ‘HAVE_C99_COMPLEX’ was not defined. Such platforms have been rare, but now include x86_64 Linux with ‘gcc 4.5.x’ at the default ‘-O2’ optimization (but not at ‘-O’).
