This blog is updated daily.
A general description is here.
‘Rterm’ now works also when invoked from MSYS2 terminals. Line editing is possible when command ‘winpty’ is installed.
‘normalizePath()’ now resolves symbolic links and normalizes case of long names of path elements in case-insensitive folders (PR#17165).
‘md5sum()’ supports UTF-8 file names with characters that cannot be translated to the native encoding (PR#17633).
‘Rterm’ gains a new option ‘--workspace’ to specify the workspace to be restored. This allows equals to be part of the name when opening via Windows file associations (reported by Christian Asseburg).
R now uses reference counting instead of the ‘NAMED’ mechanism for determining when objects can be safely mutated in base C code. This reduces the need for copying is some cases and should allow further optimizations in the future. It should also help make the internal code easier to maintain. This change is expected to have minimal impact on packages not using unsupported coding practices in their C/C++ code.
