This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
PCRE has been updated to version 8.13, a bug-fix release with updated Unicode tables (version 6.0.0).
‘untar2()’ now works around errors generated with ‘tar’ files that use more than the standard 6 digits for the checksum. (PR#14654)
‘install.packages()’ with ‘Ncpus > 1’ guards against simultaneous installation of indirect dependencies as well as direct ones.
The ‘pdf()’ device only includes the definition of the sRGB colorspace in the output file for the colormodels which use it (and not for ‘"gray"’ nor ‘"cmyk"’): this saves ca 9KB in the output file.
‘postscript()’ now gives an error if asked to output a raster image of
more than 21845 pixels (after interpolation), rather than producing a
file which cannot be viewed.
‘postscript()’ with an sRGB colormodel now uses sRGB for raster images (in R 2.13.[01] it used uncalibrated RGB).
There is no longer an undocumented 21845-pixel limit on raster images.
