R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • mclapply(X, mc.cores) now follows its documentation and calls lapply() in case mc.cores = 1 also in the case mc.preschedule is false.

  • Non-UTF-8 multibyte character handling fixed more permanently (PR#16732).

  • sum(<large ints>, <stuff>) is more consistent.

  • rf() and rbeta() now also work correctly when ncp is not scalar, notably when (partly) NA.

  • dput(), deparse() and dump() now print the names() information only once, using the more readable (tag = value) syntax, notably for list()s, i.e., including data frames.

  • These functions gain a new control option "niceNames" (see .deparseOpts()), which when set (as by default) also uses the (tag = value) syntax for atomic vectors. On the other hand, without deparse options "showAttributes" and "niceNames", names are no longer shown also for lists. as.character(list( c (one = 1))) now includes the name, as as.character(list(list(one = 1))) has always done.

  • m:n now also deparses nicely when m > n.
