R Project Updates

Updates from R Core.

  • sessionInfo() has been updated for Apple’s change in OS naming as from 10.12 (macOS Sierra).

  • toLatex() method now includes the running component.

  • as<-() avoids an infinite loop when a virtual class is interposed between a subclass and an actual superclass.

  • Fix level propagation in unlist() when the list contains zero-length lists or factors.

  • Fix S3 dispatch on S4 objects when the methods package is not attached.

  • Internal S4 dispatch sets .Generic in the method frame for consistency with standardGeneric() (PR#16929).

  • Fix order(x, decreasing=TRUE) when x is an integer vector containing MAX_INT. Ported from a fix Matt Dowle made to ‘data.table’.
