pkgsrc changes: no longer automatically generate the PLIST.
use (de)install templates for handling updating the index files
when adding/removing R packages.
Changes 2.4.1
This is a maintenance release and fixes a number of mostly minor bugs.
Changes 2.4.0
This release has many new features. One important aspect is that S4
classes now have their own internal type, and S4 method dispatch has
been completely revised to using cached generic functions, giving
substantial performance improvements. As a consequence, all packages
depending on "methods" need to be reinstalled.

+ move the patch digest/checksum values from files/patch-sum to distinfo
|
|
particularly fixing the table editor, but also contains a few additions:
o data(), example() and help() now search the loaded packages, then
in their .lib.loc argument, the latter as pre-0.99.0. See
their help pages for the precise details.
o help() has a new argument `try.all.packages' set by the option
"help.try.all.packages". If help is not found in the normal
path and this is TRUE then a search is made of all packages
for possible matches.
o prop.trend.test() - test for trend in proportions.
o write.table() has new argument `dec' for setting the decimal
separator (SPSS/Windows and probably others want commas in
continental European locales).
o Advance warning: save(, oldstyle=TRUE) will no longer be
available after this release.
o Symbols can now be coerced to expressions, making
as.expression(quote(a)) work

a more usable replacement for S/S-PLUS.

-correct compiler flag for a.out shared libs. This addresses PR 10402.
|
|
since it contains loadable shared object files that are platform-specific.
Lots of bug-fixes and additions ... it's getting closer to a usable
replacement for S-PLUS.

(was -Bshareable, now is -shared)
This fixes a compilation problem. ELF machines should not be affected.

numerous to list here (see http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS for

NEW FEATURES
o new target for R installation testing : make strict-tests.
o symnum(x) now nicely codes logical x.
o convolve() has a new type = c("circular", "open", "filter")
argument allowing more than the only circular convolution.
o par(xpd) now has three settings: FALSE (clip to plot region),
TRUE (clip to figure region), or NA (clip to device region).
o zapsmall(x) works for complex x.
o new global variable R.version.string (for plots & reports).
Deprecated version & Version for new R.version & R.Version.
o R CMD Rd2dvi has builtin "Usage" help and works for multiple files.
Useful for automatic reference manual of a package.
(doc/manual/lib2tex is more efficient for installed packages, however).
BUG FIXES
o power() is now fully implemented and documented.
o A couple of problems with group generic operations.
o A bug which meant that it was not possible to add elements
to zero length lists in the obvious way has been fixed.
x <- list(); x[[1]] <- 10
x <- list(); x[["a"]] <- 11
both now work.
o save.image() ignored dot-names. (esp. .First())
o lab= argument to plot() misinterpreted by axis() via ... passing
o NULL labels in text() caused segfault
o matrix(f,...) with f a factor now coerces to character
o documentation errors for substitute and is.vector, minor fixups for
trig and nlm
o Background colours are set properly on X11 devices with
colortype="pseudo": sometimes they were not allocated separately.
o C() works (again?) for a single argument.
o is.na() didn't work properly for "list" arguments.
o symnum() sometimes failed with arrays of rank >= 3.
o in some cases one could get nonblack color instead of
black on 2nd x11() window.
o influence.measures(.) $ is.influential was wrong on the
cooks.distance.
o printing of complex NaN/Inf was wrong as well.
o printing of complex named vectors had a wrong initial space.
o allow trailing space in character->numeric coercion
o library() gave wrong "masked" warnings in some cases.
o par(xpd) semantics were not compatible with S.
o rect() output was not clipped in PostScript.
o par(pin=c(width, height)) was behaving as par(pin=c(width, width)).
o Non-blank separated data files didn't have their 1st field
handled properly.
o "aux" directory moved to "tools" to avoid difficulties on
Windows.
o structure() clobbered factors with missing levels.
o pmatch() misbehaved on duplicate matches.
o R CMD Rd2dvi <file.Rd> works again.
o logical binops tried to set time series parameters before dimensions.
o upped the BUFSIZE in model.c (NOT proper long-term solution).
o dput(), dump() and deparse() now always use DBL_DIG (=15) digits
for numeric formatting.
o chull() now works for vertical borders, such as in chull(c(1,1,2),3:1).

Changes since 0.63.0 are mostly bigfixes and patches that make it
actually work properly with NetBSD.
