The build system rolled up R-4.4.1.tar.gz (codename "Race for Your Life") this morning. ==============================================================================This release is dedicated to the memory of Friedrich (Fritz) Leisch, 1968-2024. ============================================================================== This is a minor update, with a few bug fixes. The list below details the changes in this release. You can get the source code from https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.1.tar.gz https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.1.tar.xz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course. (The Mac binaries will be delayed for a couple of days because the maintainer is traveling.)

This provides an alternative to the idiom of calling Rf_allocList followed by SET_TYPEOF. UTILITIES: * R CMD check now reports as warnings what gfortran calls 'Fortran 2018 deleted features', all of which have long been marked as 'obsolescent' and some of which were deleted in Fortran 2008 or earlier. Fortran compilers are no longer required to support these. BUG FIXES: * as.numeric(), scan(), type.convert() and other places which use the internal C function R_strtod now require a _non-empty_ digit sequence in a decimal or binary exponent. This aligns with the C/POSIX standard for strtod and with ?NumericConstants. * as.data.frame(m, make.names=NA) now works correctly for a matrix m with NA's in row names. * The error message from <POSIXlt>[["hour"]] and similar now mentions *[[, "hour"]], as wished for in PR#17409 and proposed by Michael Chirico. * qbinom() and potentially qpois(), qnbinom(), no longer sometimes fail accurate inversion (of pbinom(), etc), thanks to Christopher Chang's report and patch in PR#18711. * The internal help server on Windows can again serve requests sent in quick succession, fixing a regression in R 4.4.0. * debugcall(<S3Generic>()) now also works when a corresponding S4-generic version is in the methods cache (PR#18143). * Package tools' toTitleCase(ch0) now returns character(0) when ch0 is of zero length; fixing PR#18724, reported by David Hugh Jones. * R CMD check is no longer broken (without a check result and no explanation in 00check.log) for a package which declares an invalid VignetteBuilder in DESCRIPTION but has no vignettes. -- 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 ______________________________________________ R-devel at r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
