Dear All,
Thank you very much for all your hard work. I am always looking forward
to the release dates since I am compiling each version of R on my local
computer for more than 15 years.
This time, unfortunately, I have some difficulties already when
extracting. When I do the recommended:
tar -xf R-4.5.2.tar.gz
I get the following message (more than 5300 times, but I think it is
enough to include it once):
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword
'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.provenance'
Despite, my experience, I can not exclude the possibility that I made a
silly mistake.
If it is important, I am running Ubuntu Linux:
uname --all
Linux Roland-Desktop 6.14.0-34-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Wed Sep 17 09:21:29 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks,
Roland

> This is the relevant part of the NEWS file
>
> CHANGES IN R 4.5.2:
>
> UTILITIES:
>
> ? R CMD check now handles archives with extension .tar or .tar.zstd
> (where zstd compression is supported by the R build).
>
> BUG FIXES:
>
> ? t.test(c(1:3, Inf)) and similar no longer produce an error but
> return a (still not so useful) "htest" result, fixing
PR#18901,
> thanks to Jesse Alderliesten.
>
> ? attr(., "tsp") <- val now uses
getOption("ts.eps") instead of
> hardwired 1e-5; consequently, ts(.., ts.eps=*) now passes ts.eps
> to the "tsp" setting C code; both fixing a long-standing
?FIXME?.
>
> ? insertSource() now ignores the internal .packageName object,
> avoiding a superfluous message.
>
> ? In static HTML help, links to vignette files from the default
> doc/index.html page now also work for packages not installed in
> the default .Library, thanks to a report by Patrice Kiener.
>
> ? fixInNamespace("<S3method>") failed to update the S3
methods
> table when the generic was not on the search path.
>
> ? In plain-text help (Rd2txt), an initial newline from an Rd inline
> \eqn no longer breaks the paragraph.
>
> ? hist(*, log = "x") now works without a warning, thanks to
Martin
> Smith's PR#18921.
>
> ? Subassigning "POSIXlt", i.e., <tdat>[i] <- val
and <tdat>[[i]] <-
> val now rebalance as they should, thanks to Mikael Jagan's
> PR#18919.
>
> ? <POSIXlt>[*] (re-)setting "balanced", fixing
PR#18681 comment #7,
> thanks to Mikael Jagan.
>
> ? All four of {col,row}{Sums,Means}(Z, na.rm=TRUE) now correctly
> work with complex Z where is.na(Re(Z)) differs from is.na(Im(Z)),
> fixing PR#18942, unearthed by Dirk Eddelbuettel.
>
> ? Fix for glyph rendering on the quartz() device when there is
> other (?normal?) text drawn on the device. The problem was that
> the text transformation matrix was not reset so glyphs would be
> rendered incorrectly (often completely outside the device, i.e.,
> not visible).
>
> ? Functions install.packages() and download.packages() again
> consult option download.file.method when the download method is
> unspecified.
>
> ? Tanguy Barthelemy and colleagues at the ?R Dev Day? following
> Rencontres R in May 2025 extended the help page of lm(), fixing
> PR#18058. As suggested by Thomas Soeiro, such notes were also
> added to the glm(), poly() and splines::bs() and ns() pages.
>
> ? lbeta(1i, 1) now signals an error, as lbeta() is not implemented
> for complex, fixing PR#18946 from Ben Bolker and Kasper
> Kristensen.
>
> ? The Cairo-based SVG device uses pt as the default document unit
> also with Cairo >= 1.17.8 (PR#18912).
>
> ? pretty(*, eps.correct = 2) has been fixed, e.g., to avoid over 1
> million length result for pretty(c(0, 1e-322), eps.correct = 2).
>
> ? When "POSIXlt" date-time objects are NA-padded from
subsetting or
> increasing length in the `[` or `length<-` methods, the
> "balanced" attribute is set to NA, now; noted in PR#18681,
thanks
> to Mikael Jagan.
