This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
For ‘approx()’, ‘splinefun()’, etc, a new setting ‘ties = c("ordered", <fun>)’ allows to skip the sorting and still treat ties.
The internal ‘regularize.values()’ auxiliary of ‘approx()’, ‘splinefun()’ etc now warns again when there are ties and the caller did not specify ‘ties’. Further, it no longer duplicates ‘x’ and ‘y’ unnecessarily when ‘x’ is already sorted (PR#17515).
‘strtoi("", base)’ now gives ‘NA’ on all platforms, following its documentation. Reported by Michael Chirico.
Prototype elements are now checked to match the slots of the class. Reported by Bill Dunlap.
