This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘sample()’ and ‘sample.int()’ have additional sanity checks on their ‘size’ and ‘n’ arguments.
‘all.equal.numeric()’ gains a sanity check on its ‘tolerance’ argument - calling ‘all.equal(a, b, c)’ for three numeric vectors is a surprisingly common error.
The clipboard connection now works also with text in other than the current native encoding (PR#18267, with Hiroaki Yutani). Text is always pasted in UTF16-LE to the clipboard and the ‘encoding’ argument is ignored.
‘USE_FC_LEN_T’ will become the default: this uses the correct prototypes for Fortran BLAS/LAPACK routines called from C/C++, and requires adjustment of most such calls - see ‘Writing R Extensions’.
The deprecated S-compatibility macros ‘SINGLE_*’ in ‘R_ext/Constants.h’ (included by ‘R.h’) have been removed.
rmultinom has been documented in ‘Writing R Extensions’ §6 so is now part of the R API.
Header ‘R_ext/Constants.h’ (included by ‘R.h’) when included from C++ now includes the C++ header ‘cfloat’ rather than the C header ‘float.h’ (now possible as C++11 is required).
‘sample()’ and ‘sample.int()’ have additional sanity checks on their
‘size’ and ‘n’ arguments.
The legacy S-compatibility macros ‘SINGLE_*’ in ‘R_ext/Constants.h’ (included by ‘R.h’) are deprecated and will be removed in R 4.2.0.
