- upstrem updated to 3.4.4
CHANGES IN R 3.4.4:
NEW FEATURES:
* Sys.timezone() tries more heuristics on Unix-alikes and so is
more likely to succeed (especially on Linux). For the slowest
method, a warning is given recommending that TZ is set to avoid
the search.
* The version of LAPACK included in the sources has been updated to
3.8.0 (for the routines used by R, a very minor bug-fix change).
* parallel::detectCores(logical = FALSE) is ignored on Linux
systems, since the information is not available with virtualized
OSes.
INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
* configure will use pkg-config to find the flags to link to jpeg
if available (as it should be for the recently-released jpeg-9c
and libjpeg-turbo). (This amends the code added in R 3.3.0 as
the module name in jpeg-9c is not what that tested for.)
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
* Sys.timezone(location = FALSE) (which was a stop-gap measure for
Windows long ago) is deprecated. It no longer returns the value
of environment variable TZ (usually a location).
* Legacy support of make macros such as CXX1X is formally
deprecated: use the CXX11 forms instead.
BUG FIXES:
* power.prop.test() now warns when it cannot solve the problem,
typically because of impossible constraints. (PR#17345)
* removeSource() no longer erroneously removes NULL in certain
cases, thanks to D'enes T'oth.
* nls(`NO [mol/l]` ~ f(t)) and nls(y ~ a) now work. (Partly from
PR#17367)
