The build system rolled up R-3.6.2.tar.gz (codename "Dark and Stormy Night") 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-3.6.2.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.

INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE: * Detection of the C stack direction has been moved from run-time to configure: this is safer with LTO builds and allows the detection to be overridden - see file config.site. * Source-code changes enable installation on platforms using gcc -fno-common (the expected default for gcc 10.x). C-LEVEL FACILITIES: * installTrChar (which is nowadays is wrapped by installChar) is defined in Rinternals.h. (Neither are part of the API.) PACKAGE INSTALLATION: * Header Rconfig.h contains the value of FC_LEN_T deduced at installation which is used by the prototypes in headers R_ext/BLAS.h and R_ext/Lapack.h but to avoid extensive breakage this is only exposed when USE_FC_LEN_T is defined. If a package's C/C++ calls to BLAS/LAPACK allow for the 'hidden' arguments used by most Fortran compilers to pass the lengths of Fortran character arguments, define USE_FC_LEN_T and include Rconfig.h (possibly _via_ R.h) before including R_ext/BLAS.h or R_ext/Lapack.h. * A package with Fortran source code and perhaps C (but not C++) sources can request for its shared object/DLL to be linked by the Fortran compiler by including a line USE_FC_TO_LINK= in src/Makevars[.win] and using $(SHLIB_OPENMP_FFLAGS) as part of PKG_LIBS. The known reason for doing so is a package which uses Fortran (only) OpenMP on a platform where the Fortran OpenMP runtime is incompatible with the C one (e.g. gfortran 9.x with clang). UTILITIES: * R CMD check has a new option to mitigate checks leaving files/directories in /tmp. See the 'R Internals' manual - this is part of --as-cran. Windows: * The default standard for C++ in package installation is C++11 (as it has been on other platforms where available since R 3.6.0: the default toolchain on Windows was defaulting to C++98). DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT: * Support for specifying C++98 in package installation is deprecated. * Support in R CMD config for F77, FCPIFCPLAGS, CPP, CXXCPP and CXX98 and similar is deprecated. (CPP is found from the system make and may well not be set.) Use $CC -E and $CXX -E instead of CPP and CXXCPP. BUG FIXES: * runmed(x, *) when x contains missing values now works consistently for both algorithm="Stuetzle" and "Turlach", and no longer segfaults for "Turlach", as reported by Hilmar Berger. * apply(diag(3), 2:3, mean) now gives a helpful error message. * dgamma(x, shape, log=TRUE) now longer overflows to Inf for shape < 1 and very small x, fixing PR#17577, reported by Jonathan Rougier. * Buffer overflow in building error messages fixed. Reported by Benjamin Tremblay. * options(str = .) is correctly initialized at package utils load time, now. A consequence is that str() in scripts now is more consistent to interactive use, e.g., when displaying function(**) argument lists. * as.numeric(<call>) now gives correct error message. * Printing ls.str() no longer wrongly shows "<missing>" in rare cases. * Auto-printing S4 objects no longer duplicates the object, for faster speed and reduced memory consumption. Reported by Aaron Lun. * pchisq(<LRG>, <LRG>, ncp=100) no longer takes practically forever in some cases. Hence ditto for corresponding qchisq() calls. * x %% L for finite x no longer returns NaN when L is infinite, nor suffers from cancellation for large finite L, thanks to Long Qu's PR#17611. Analogously, x %/% L and L %/% x suffer less from cancellation and return values corresponding to limits for large L. * grepl(NA, *) now returns logical as documented. * options(warn=1e11) is an error now, instead of later leading to C stack overflow because of infinite recursion. * R_tryCatch no longer transfers control for all conditions. Reported and patch provided by Lionel Henry in PR#17617. * format(object.size(.), digits=NULL) now works, fixing PR#17628 reported by Jonathan Carroll. * get_all_vars(f, d) now also works for cases, e.g. where d contains a matrix. Reported by Simon Wood in 2009 and patch provided by Ben Bolker in PR#13624. Additionally, it now also works when some variables are data frames, fixing PR#14905, reported by Patrick Breheny. * barplot() could get spacings wrong if there were exactly two bars PR#15522. Patch by Michael Chirico. * power.t.test() works in more cases when returning values of n smaller than 2. * dotchart(*, pch=., groups=.) now works better. Reported by Robert and confirmed by Nic Rochette in PR#16953. * canCoerce(obj, cl) no longer assumes length(class(obj)) == 1. * plot.formula(*, subset = *) now also works in a boundary case reported by Robert Schlicht (TU Dresden). * readBin() and writeBin() of a rawConnection() now also work in large cases, thanks to a report and proposal by Taeke Harkema in PR#17665. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ r-annou...@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-announce ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
