R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
-
Reverted unintended change in behavior of
return
calls inon.exit
expressions introduced by stack unwinding changes in R 3.3.0. -
approx()
,spline()
,splinefun()
andapproxfun()
also work for long vectors. -
deparse()
(anddump()
) are more useful for S4 objects;dput()
now using the same internal C code (instead of its previous imperfect workaround R code). More user visibly,dput()
, etc now print thenames()
information only once, using the more readable(tag = value)
syntax. These functions got a new (partly experimental) control option via.deparseOpts()
"nice_names"
which when set (e.g. as part of"all"
) also use the(tag = value)
syntax for atomic vectors. -
(1:n)[-n]
no longer segfaults forn <- 2.2e9
(on a platform with enough RAM). -
package.skeleton()
gets optionalencoding
argument. -
Internal C-level
R_check_class_and_super()
and henceR_check_class_etc()
now also consider non-direct super classes and hence return a match in more cases. This e.g., fixes behaviour of derived classes in packageMatrix
