R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • matplot(.., panel.first = .) etc now work, as log becomes explicit argument and ... is passed to plot() unevaluated, as suggested by Sebastian Meyer in PR#17386.

  • Deparsing of consecutive ! calls is now consistent with deparsing unary - and + calls and creates code that can be reparsed exactly; thanks to a patch Lionel Henry in PR#17397.

  • The C++ compiler defaults to the C++11 standard, if suported; otherwise to the C++98 standard.

  • Sys.setFileTime() has been vectorized, its arguments path and time of length greater than one are now supported.

  • file.copy() now works also when its argument to is of length greater than one.

  • substr() and substring() now signal error when the input is invalid UTF-8.

  • configure sets the -std flag for the C++ compiler for all supported C++ standards (e.g., -std=gnu++11 for the C++11 compiler).

  • match.arg() more carefully chooses the environment for constucting default choices, fixing PR#17401 as proposed by Duncan Murdoch.

  • replayPlot(r) now also works in the same R session when r has been “reproduced” from serialization, typically after saving to and reading from an RDS file.
