R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
parallel::detectCores(logical = FALSE)
should be more reliable on multi-CPU Linux systems, especially with virtualized OSes.is.na(NULL)
no longer warns. (PR#16107)By default, packages are now byte-compiled on installation.
POSIXt objects can now also be rounded or truncated to month or year.
stopIfnot()
is a new alternative tostopifnot()
, nicer to use when testing several expressions in one call.By default, packages are now byte-compiled on installation.
configure
will usepkg-config
to find the flags to link tojpeg
if available (as it should be for the recently-releasedjpeg-9c
andlibjpeg-turbo
). (This amends the code added in R 3.3.0 as the module name injpeg-9c
is not what that tested for.)
