This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
New function ‘extSoftVersion()’ to report on the versions of third-party software in use in this session. Currently reports versions of ‘zlib’, ‘bzlib’, the ‘liblzma’ from ‘xz’, PCRE, ICU and TRE.
A similar function ‘grSoftVersion()’ in package ‘grDevices’ reports on third-party graphics software.
Calling ‘callGeneric()’ without arguments now works with primitive generics to some extent.
‘all.equal()’ gains methods for ‘environment’s and ‘refClass’es.
‘[<-’ and ‘[[<-’ gain S4 ‘data.frame’ methods to avoid corruption of S4 class information by the S3 methods.
