CHANGES IN R 4.2.3:
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
* The definition of DL_FUNC in R_ext/Rdynload.h has been changed to
be fully C-compliant. This means that functions loaded _via_ for
example R_GetCCallable need to be cast to an appropriate type if
they have any arguments.
* .Machine has a new element sizeof.time_t to identify old systems
with a 32-bit type and hence a limited range of date-times (and
limited support for dates millions of years from present).
PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
* (Windows) The default C++ standard had accidentally been left at
C++11 when it was changed to C++14 on Unix.
BUG FIXES:
* As "POSIXlt" objects may be "partially filled" and
their list
components meant to be recycled, length() now is the length of
the longest component.
* as.POSIXlt.Date() could underflow for dates in the far past (more
than half a million years BCE).
* as.Date.POSIXlt(x) would return "1970-01-01" instead of NA in R
4.2.2, e.g., for
x <- as.POSIXlt(c("2019-01-30","2001-1-1"))
x$mon <- c(0L, NA); as.Date(x)
* R CMD check failed to apply enabled _R_CHECK_SUGGESTS_ONLY_ to
examples and vignettes (regression in R 4.2.0).
* R CMD check did not re-build vignettes in separate processes by
default (regression in R 4.2.0).
* Running examples from HTML documentation now restores previous
knitr settings and options (PR#18420).
* Quartz: fonts are now located using Core Graphics API instead of
deprecated ATS which is no longer supported in the macOS 13 SDK
(PR#18426). This also addresses an issue where the currently
used font in the Quartz device context was not correctly
retained.
* (Windows) Math symbols in text drawing functions are again
rendered correctly (PR#18440). This fixes a regression in R
4.2.1 caused by a fix in PR#18382 which uncovered an issue in
GraphApp due to which the symbol charset was not used with TT
Symbol font face.
* (Windows) Installing a package with a src/Makefile.{win,ucrt}
file includes ~/.R/Makevars.win64 in the search for user
makevars, as documented in "R Installation and Administration"
and done for packages with a src/Makevars.{win,ucrt} file.
* format(<POSIXlt_w/_unbalanced_sec>, "....%OS<n>")
with n > 0 no
longer accidentally uses the unbalanced seconds, thanks to
Suharto Anggono's report (including patch) in PR#18448.
* solve.default(a, b) works around issues with some versions of
LAPACK when a contains NA or NaN values.
* When UseMethod() cannot dispatch, it no longer segfaults
producing the error message in case of a long class(), thanks to
Joris Vankerschaver's report (including patch) in PR#18447.
* When example(foo, ..) produces graphics on an interactive device
it needs to open itself, it now leaves devAskNewPage() unchanged
even when it was FALSE, thus fixing a 14 years old
'<FIXME>'.
* packageDescription() again catches errors from encoding
conversions. This also fixes broken packageVersion() in C locale
on systems where iconv does not support transliteration.
