R Project Updates
Updates from R Coredeveloper.r-project.org.
-
The
method
argument ofsort.list()
,order()
andsort.int()
gains an"auto"
option (the default) which should behave the same as before whenmethod
was left missing. -
The
plot
method forppr
has enhanced default labels (xmin and main). -
sample.int()
gains an explicituseHash
option (with a back compatible default). -
addNA()
is faster now, e.g., when applied twice. (Part of PR#16895.) -
Illegal factors, e.g., with duplicated levels (illegal but constructable) now give a warning when printed, via new function
.valid.factor()
. -
sessionInfo()
has been updated for Apple’s change in OS naming as from10.12
(macOS Sierra
vsOS X El Capitan
). -
Its
toLatex()
method now includes therunning
component. -
options("interrupt")
can be used to specify a default action for user interrupts. For now, if this option is not set and theerror
option is set, then an unhandled user interrupt invokes theerror
option. This may be dropped in the future asinterrupt
conditions are noterror
conditions. -
Radix sort is now the default algorithm for double vectors. It no longer rounds.
-
stack.data.frame
andstack.default
preserve the names of empty elements in the levels of theind
column of the return value. Set the newdrop
argument toTRUE
for the previous behavior.
