Updates from R Core:

connections to irregular files (like sockets), as well asfifo()
andpipe()
connections. Fixes PR#17470, reported by Chris Culnane. -
Analogously, the tools-internal function called from
R CMD check
gets awarnOption = 1
argument and uses the larger of that andgetOption("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. -
tools
’vignetteDepends()
has been deprecated (it called a function deprecated since Feb 2016), partly replaced by newly exportedvignetteInfo()
. -

_R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2_
will lead to warnings (or errors if the variable is set to atrue
value) when&&
or||
encounter and use arguments of length more than one. -

and"chars"
coordinate systems togrconvertX()
andgrconvertY()
