R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

• CRAN Policy Change new rev3715

• print() methods for "xgettext" and "xngettext" now use encodeString() which keeps, e.g., "\n", visible. (Wish of PR#17298.)

• Elapsed-time limits can now be set for the lengthier parts of R CMD INSTALL via an environment variable: see its help page. [This is currently experimental and subject to change.]

• install.packages() for source packages now has the possibility to set a timeout (elapsed-time limit). For serial installs this uses the timeout argument of system2(): for parallel installs it requires the timeout utility command from GNU coreutils. [This is currently experimental and subject to change.]

• It is now possible to set timeouts (elapsed-time limits) for most parts of R CMD check via environment variables documented in the R Internals manual. [This depends on the experimental timeout feature of system2() and hence subject to change, as are the names of the environment variables.]

• R CMD check checks for and R CMD build corrects CRLF line endings in shell scripts configure and cleanup (even on Windows).

• It is again possible to use configure --enable-maintainer-mode without having installed notangle (it was required in R 3.4.[01]).
