R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • Buffering is disabled for file() connections to irregular files (like sockets), as well as fifo() and pipe() connections. Fixes PR#17470, reported by Chris Culnane.

  • Analogously, the tools-internal function called from R CMD check gets a warnOption = 1 argument and uses the larger of that and getOption("warn"), also allowing to be run with increased warning level.

  • getOption() is more efficient notably for the rare case when called with two arguments, from several contributors in PR#17394.

  • toolsvignetteDepends() has been deprecated (it called a function deprecated since Feb 2016), partly replaced by newly exported vignetteInfo().

  • Experimentally, setting environment variable _R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2_ will lead to warnings (or errors if the variable is set to a true value) when && or || encounter and use arguments of length more than one.

  • Added "lines" and "chars" coordinate systems to grconvertX() and grconvertY().

  • S3method() directives in NAMESPACE can now also be used to perform delayed S3 method registration.
