This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
Overly long ‘dyn.load()’ error messages (C level ‘dlerror()’), should no longer corrupt its state, thanks to Ivan Krylov's PR#19029 report and patch.
‘as.matrix(<POSIXlt>)’ again produces a _numeric_ matrix, and the ‘c()’ and subassignment methods for ‘POSIXlt’ objects work correctly more often, e.g., without a ‘"tzone"’ attribute, back porting a few of the PR#18989 fixes from R-devel, both thanks to Suharto Anggono.
The border case ‘zapsmall(x, digits=Inf)’ where ‘x’ contains an ‘Inf’ entry no longer returns all ‘NaN’ but rather ‘x’. The improved help page now has more non-default examples.
The data part of ‘getGenerics()’ listed package names for generic functions defined in more than one package. Now it lists generic function names, as intended. Thanks to Michael Chirico for report and patch proposal (PR#19080).
The ‘Pair(x,y)’ construction in the formula interface to paired tests did not work with the ‘subset’ argument, due to the absence of a ‘[.Pair’ method, which has now been added (PR#18898).
When ‘browser()’ is active or when otherwise debugging, R code such as ‘if(TRUE)’ no longer triggers a new browser level, fixing PR#18885 (differently than the fix for PR#15770), with thanks to Ivan Krylov.
