The build system rolled up R-3.5.1.tar.gz (codename "Feather Spray") this morning. The list below details the changes in this release. You can get the source code from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.5.1.tar.gz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.

CHANGES IN R 3.5.0 patched: BUG FIXES: * file("stdin") is no longer considered seekable. * dput() and dump() are no longer truncating when options(deparse.max.lines = *) is set. * Calls with an S3 class are no longer evaluated when printed, fixing part of PR#17398, thanks to a patch from Lionel Henry. * Allow file argument of Rscript to include space even when it is first on the command line. * callNextMethod() uses the generic from the environment of the calling method. Reported by Herv'e Pag`es with well documented examples. * Compressed file connections are marked as blocking. * optim(*, lower = c(-Inf, -Inf)) no longer warns (and switches the method), thanks to a suggestion by John Nash. * predict(fm, newdata) is now correct also for models where the formula has terms such as splines::ns(..) or stats::poly(..), fixing PR#17414, based on a patch from Duncan Murdoch. * simulate.lm(glm(*, gaussian(link = <non-default>))) has been corrected, fixing PR#17415 thanks to Alex Courtiol. * unlist(x) no longer fails in some cases of nested empty lists. Reported by Steven Nydick. * qr.coef(qr(<all 0, w/ colnames>)) now works. Reported by Kun Ren. * The radix sort is robust to vectors with >1 billion elements (but long vectors are still unsupported). Thanks to Matt Dowle for the fix. * Terminal connections (e.g., stdin) are no longer buffered. Fixes PR#17432. * deparse(x), dput(x) and dump() now respect c()'s argument names recursive and use.names, e.g., for x <- setNames(0, "recursive"), thanks to Suharto Anggono's PR#17427. * Unbuffered connections now work with encoding conversion. Reported by Stephen Berman. * .Renviron on Windows with Rgui is again by default searched for in user documents directory when invoked _via_ the launcher icon. Reported by Jeroen Ooms. * printCoefmat() now also works with explicit right=TRUE. * print.noquote() now also works with explicit quote=FALSE. * The default method for pairs(.., horInd=*, verInd=*) now gets the correct order, thanks to reports by Chris Andrews and Gerrit Eichner. Additionally, when horInd or verInd contain only a subset of variables, all the axes are labeled correctly now. * agrep("..|..", .., fixed=FALSE) now matches when it should, thanks to a reminder by Andreas Kolter. * str(ch) now works for more invalid multibyte strings. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
