This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
It is deprecated to use ‘mean(x)’ and ‘sd(x)’ directly on data frames (or also matrices, for ‘sd’) ‘x’, instead of simply using ‘sapply’.
In the same spirit, ‘median(x)’ now gives an error for a data frame ‘x’ (it often gave nonsensical results).
Setting a Hershey font family followed by string height query would crash R.
‘R CMD javareconf -e’ would fail for some shells due to a shift error. Also the resulting paths will no longer contain ‘$(JAVA_HOME)’ as that can result in an unintended substitution based on ‘Makeconf’ instead of the shell setting.
