R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
Buffering is disabled for
file()
connections to irregular files (like sockets), as well asfifo()
andpipe()
connections. Fixes PR#17470, reported by Chris Culnane.Analogously, the tools-internal function called from
R CMD check
gets awarnOption = 1
argument and uses the larger of that andgetOption("warn")
, also allowing to be run with increased warning level.getOption()
is more efficient notably for the rare case when called with two arguments, from several contributors in PR#17394.tools
’vignetteDepends()
has been deprecated (it called a function deprecated since Feb 2016), partly replaced by newly exportedvignetteInfo()
.Experimentally, setting environment variable
_R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2_
will lead to warnings (or errors if the variable is set to atrue
value) when&&
or||
encounter and use arguments of length more than one.Added
"lines"
and"chars"
coordinate systems togrconvertX()
andgrconvertY()
.S3method()
directives inNAMESPACE
can now also be used to perform delayed S3 method registration.
