R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

• debug() supports debugging of methods on any "genericFunction", including group generics.

• The default for tools::write_PACKAGES(rds_compress=) has been changed to "xz" to match the compression used by CRAN.

• packageDescription() tries harder to solve re-encoding issues, notably seen in some Windows locales. This fixes the citation() issue in PR#17291.

• model.matrix(~1, mf) now gets the row names from mf also when they differ from 1:nrow(mf), fixing PR#14992 thanks to the suggestion by Sebastian Meyer.

• rt() assumed the ncp parameter was a scalar.
