R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
-
Setting the
LC_ALL
category inSys.setlocale()
invalidates any cached locale-specific day/month names and the AM/PM indicator forstrptime()
(as settingLC_TIME
has since R 3.1.0). -
system
andsystem2
now allow to specify a timeout (this feature is currently experimental and subject to change). -
within(<list>, rm(x1, x2))
works correctly again. -
regexec(pattern, text, *)
now also appliesas.character(.)
to its first two arguments, as documented. -
The
list
method ofwithin()
gets an optionkeepAttrs = FALSE
for speed up.
