R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • Allow file argument of Rscript to include space even when it is first on the command line.

  • file("stdin") is no longer considered seekable.

  • dput() and dump() are no longer truncating when options(deparse.max.lines = *) is set.

  • Calls with an S3 class are no longer evaluated when printed, fixing part of PR#17398, thanks to a patch from Lionel Henry.

  • lengths() dispatches internally to S4 methods.

  • predict(fm, newdata) is now correct also for models where the formula has terms such as splines::ns(..) or stats::poly(..), fixing PR#17414, based on a patch from Duncan Murdoch.

  • extendrange(.., f) with a length-2 f now extends separately to the left and the right.
