R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • glm() and glm.fit get the same singular.ok=TRUE argument that lm() has had forever.

  • raw(0) & raw(0) now returns raw again; ditto for |.

  • A workaround has been added for the change in location of time-zone files on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, so the default time zone is deduced correctly from the system setting when R is configured with --with-internal-tzcode (the default on macOS).

  • Writing R Extensions documents macros MAYBE_REFERENCED, MAYBE_SHARED and MARK_NOT_MUTABLE that should be used by package C code instead NAMED or SET_NAMED.

  • The object header layout has been changed to support merging the ALTREP branch. This requires re-installing packages that use compiled code.
