R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • CRAN Policy Change new rev3760

  • dput(), etc 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. OTOH, without deparse options "showAttributes" and "niceNames", names are no longer shown also for lists.

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

  • The printing of named raw vectors is now formatted nicely as for other such atomic vectors, thanks to Lukas Stadler.

  • attach(*, pos = 1) is now an error instead of a warning.

  • coef() methods also gain a complete = TRUE optional argument for consistency with vcov().
