Update to R 2.7.2

2008-08-31T12:37:27Z

NEW FEATURES o sprintf() returns elements of the result in UTF-8 when the format or any character input has a corresponding element declared as UTF-8. Similarly for paste(), elements of the result are in UTF-8 when any input to that element is declared as UTF-8. o axis() has new arguments 'col.ticks' and 'lwd.ticks' to allow the colour and line width of ticks to be set separately from that of the line (e.g. to set one or the other to transparent or zero width). o legend() has a new argument 'box.col' to set the colour of the enclosing box. o legend() gains a 'xpd' argument to make it easier to place a legend in the margins or outer margins. o stripchart() now passes '...' to title() (as well as to plot.default() and axis()). (Wish of PR#12202) o help.search() has new argument 'searchEngine' to go directly to the search form: this is needed by users of Firefox 3 to workaround a bug in interpreting the search results pages. + BUG FIXES 2.7.1 NEW FEATURES o tools::texi2dvi() has a new argument 'texinputs' to allow the TeX and bibtex input paths to be specified (even on MiKTeX). o dev.copy2pdf() gains an 'out.type' argument to allow it to be used with cairo_pdf() or quartz(type = "pdf"). o poly() has additional checks against user error (as in PR#11243). o The Mac OS quartz() device draws contiguous lines much faster. o A field containing just a sign is no longer regarded as numeric (it was on all platforms in 2.7.0, but not on most in earlier versions of R). Similarly, '.' is now always non-numeric. o CITATION files are now read in Latin-1: quite a few were failing if used in a multibyte locale such as UTF-8. o The DESCRIPTION file of a package can specify an 'OS_type' field as either 'unix' or 'windows' to confine installation to that OS type. o HoltWinters() now uses optimize() rather than optim for one-parameter problems which should be more reliable (PR#11469). o axis() now respects the setting of par("xpd") when clipping. o The 'factor' method of format() now preserves names, dims and dimnames in the same way as for character and numeric inputs. (PR#11512) o read.DIF(*, transpose=TRUE) now allows to correctly read DIF files produced by some versions of Excel. DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT o The use of unserialize() on character strings is deprecated: that was a format used in R < 2.4.0. o The use of embedded nuls in character strings is deprecated: They will no longer be allowed in R 2.8.0. UTILITIES o R CMD check checks for possible check directories in the sources -- in mid-2008 there were about 20 examples on CRAN. o R CMD build tries harder to clean up the inst/doc directory from the remnants of earlier builds. It also removes any directories with extension .Rcheck, and files .DS_Store and ._* (created by tar on Mac OS X under some circumstances: it now sets environment variables to ask for such files not to be created by that tar.) + BUG FIXES

Update to 2.7.0

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES o The default graphics device in non-interactive use is now pdf() rather than postscript(). [PDF viewers are now more widely available than PostScript viewers.] The default width and height for pdf() and bitmap() have been changed to 7 (inches) to match the screen devices. o Most users of the X11() device will see a new device that has different fonts, anti-aliasing of lines and fonts and supports semi-transparent colours. o Considerable efforts have been made to make the default output from graphics devices as similar as possible (and in particular close to that from postscript/pdf). Many devices were misinterpreting 'pointsize' in some way, for example as being in device units (pixels) rather than in points. o Packages which include graphics devices need to be re-installed for this version of R, with recently updated versions. + New features and bug fixes.

Update to R 2.6.2.

Changes are basically bugfixes. pkgsrc changes: Don't bother patching configure.ac - it was only part of the changes being made to configure so don't pretend you could use it to regerate configure. Use -fPIC rather than -fpic for NetBSD powerpc. Should fix PR 38032.

+ Remove modifications to configure.in and configure in patch-aa and

patch-ac that altered the order in which the terminal library for readline was detected. The termcap.buildlink3.mk file (included indirectly by readline/buildlink3.mk) will do the right thing by itself. + Modify the pkg-index.tmpl INSTALL script fragment: we can just use ${PKG_PREFIX} instead of substituting for @PREFIX@ everywhere. Also refactor the commands to rebuild the package index into a shell function and give some indication to the user what is happening. + Remove chown operation in post-install that was basically cargo-culted from the very first version of R imported into pkgsrc. It's not necessary. + Support user-destdir installation. Bump the PKGREVISION to 2.
