- CHANGES IN R 4.1.3:
NEW FEATURES:
* The default version of Bioconductor has been changed to 3.14.
(This is used by setRepositories and the menus in GUIs.)
UTILITIES:
* R CMD check --as-cran has a workaround for a bug in versions of
file up to at least 5.41 which mis-identify DBF files last
changed in 2022 as executables.
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
* The legacy S-compatibility macros SINGLE_* in R_ext/Constants.h
(included by R.h) are deprecated and will be removed in R 4.2.0.
BUG FIXES:
* Initialization of self-starting nls() models with initialization
functions following the pre-R-4.1.0 API (without the ...
argument) works again for now, with a deprecation warning.
* Fixed quoting of ~autodetect~ in Java setting defaults to avoid
inadvertent user lookup due to leading ~, reported in PR#18231 by
Harold Gutch.
* substr(., start, stop) <- v now treats _negative_ stop values
correctly. Reported with a patch in PR#18228 by Brodie Gaslam.
* Subscripting an array x without dimnames by a
length(dim(x))-column character matrix gave "random" non-sense,
now an error; reported in PR#18244 by Mikael Jagan.
* ...names() now matches names(list(...)) closely, fixing PR#18247.
* all.equal(*, scale = s) now works as intended when length(s) > 1,
partly thanks to Michael Chirico's PR#18272.
* print(x) for long vectors x now also works for named atomic
vectors or lists and prints the correct number when reaching the
getOption("max.print") limit; partly thanks to a report and
proposal by Hugh Parsonage to the R-devel list.
