The build system rolled up R-4.4.2.tar.gz (codename "Pile of Leaves") this morning. 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-4.4.2.tar.gz https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.2.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.)

We could find no record of their use. BUG FIXES: * Mathlib function lgammacor(x) no longer warns about underflow to zero for large x. * Text widths and heights were incorrectly reported by the Quartz device if the drawing context didn't exist yet (typically when drawing off-screen to a window that is yet to appear, see PR#18591). * The Quartz device could segfault in cases where paths with spaces are used in the new glyph drawing API. Thanks to Tomek Gieorgijewski (PR#18758). * On macOS in R CRAN builds, it is again possible to read little-endian UTF-16 text with a BOM from a connection using encoding="UTF-16". Users building R from source should avoid using the system libiconv in macOS 14.1 and later. * methods' internal .requirePackage() now re-enables primitive method dispatch when needed; thanks to Ivan Krylov for demystifying CRAN package check failures on the R-devel mailing list. -- 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-announce at r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-announce
