R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • ‘Sys.timezone(location)’ is slightly less platform dependent, notably for ‘location = FALSE’.

  • Support for a system Java on macOS has been removed - install a fairly recent Oracle Java (see ‘R Installation and Administration’ §C.3.2).

  • The maximum number of DLLs that can be loaded into R e.g. via ‘dyn.load()’ has been increased up to 614 when the OS limit on the number of open files allows.

  • ‘R CMD javareconf’ has been updated to recognize the use of a Java 9 SDK on macOS.
