R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
-
As an experimental feature, when codeloadNamespace fails because the requested package is not available the error is initially signaled with a
retry_loadNamespace
restart available. This allows a calling handler to try to install the package and continue. -
var(f)
and hencesd(f)
now give an error forfactor
arguments; they gave a warning since R 3.2.3, PR#16564. -
next(n)
now also works for largern
and no longer loops infinitely for e.g,n <- 214e7
. -
Many package not found errors are now signaled as errors of class
packageNotFoundError
. -
Fork cluster could hang due to a race condition in cluster initialization (
makeCluster()
). -
.Deprecated
now signals a warning of classdeprecatedWarning
, and.Defunct
now signals an error of classdefunctError
. -
New functions
errorCondition
andwarningCondition
provide a convenient way to create structured error and warning objects. -
On Windows,
socketSelect
would hang with more than 64 sockets, and henceparallel::clusterApplyLB
would hang with more than 64 workers.
