CHANGES IN R 3.2.2:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:

* It is now easier to use secure downloads from https:// URLs on
      builds which support them: no longer do non-default options need
      to be selected to do so.  In particular, packages can be
      installed from repositories which offer https:// URLs, and those
      listed by setRepositories() now do so (for some of their
      mirrors).

Support for https:// URLs is available on Windows, and on other
      platforms if support for libcurl was compiled in and if that
      supports the https protocol (system installations can be expected
      to do).  So https:// support can be expected except on rather old
      OSes (an example being OS X 'Snow Leopard', where a non-system
      version of libcurl can be used).

(Windows only) The default method for accessing URLs _via_
      download.file() and url() has been changed to be "wininet" using
      Windows API calls.  This changes the way proxies need to be set
      and security settings made: there have been some reports of sites
      being inaccessible under the new default method (but the previous
      methods remain available).

NEW FEATURES:

* cmdscale() gets new option list. for increased flexibility when a
      list should be returned.

* configure now supports texinfo version 6.0, which (unlike the
      change from 4.x to 5.0) is a minor update.  (Wish of PR#16456.)

* (Non-Windows only) download.file() with default method = "auto"
      now chooses "libcurl" if that is available and a https:// or
      ftps:// URL is used.

* (Windows only) setInternet2(TRUE) is now the default.  The
      command-line option --internet2 and environment variable
      R_WIN_INTERNET2 are now ignored.

Thus by default the "internal" method for download.file() and
      url() uses the "wininet" method: to revert to the previous
      default use setInternet2(FALSE).

This means that https:// can be read by default by
      download.file() (they have been readable by file() and url()
      since R 3.2.0).

There are implications for how proxies need to be set (see
      ?download.file): also, cacheOK = FALSE is not supported.

* chooseCRANmirror() and chooseBioCmirror() now offer HTTPS mirrors
      in preference to HTTP mirrors.  This changes the interpretation
      of their ind arguments: see their help pages.

* capture.output() gets optional arguments type and split to pass
      to sink(), and hence can be used to capture messages.

C-LEVEL FACILITIES:

* Header Rconfig.h now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H if the platform has
      the alloca.h header (it is needed to define alloca on Solaris and
      AIX, at least: see 'Writing R Extensions' for how to use it).

INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* The libtool script generated by configure has been modified to
      support FreeBSD >= 10 (PR#16410).

BUG FIXES:

* The HTML help page links to demo code failed due to a change in R
      3.2.0.  (PR#16432)

* If the na.action argument was used in model.frame(), the original
      data could be modified. (PR#16436)

* getGraphicsEvent() could cause a crash if a graphics window was
      closed while it was in use. (PR#16438)

* matrix(x, nr, nc, byrow = TRUE) failed if x was an object of type
      "expression".

* strptime() could overflow the allocated storage on the C stack
      when the timezone had a non-standard format much longer than the
      standard formats. (Part of PR#16328.)

* options(OutDec = s) now signals a warning (which will become an
      error in the future) when s is not a string with exactly one
      character, as that has been a documented requirement.

* prettyNum() gains a new option input.d.mark which together with
      other changes, e.g., the default for decimal.mark, fixes some
      format()ting variants with non-default getOption("OutDec") such
      as in PR#16411.

* download.packages() failed for type equal to either "both" or
      "binary".  (Reported by Dan Tenenbaum.)

* The dendrogram method of labels() is much more efficient for
      large dendrograms, now using rapply().  (Comment #15 of PR#15215)

* The "port" algorithm of nls() could give spurious errors.
      (Reported by Radford Neal.)

* Reference classes that inherited from reference classes in
      another package could invalidate methods of the inherited class.
      Fixing this requires adding the ability for methods to be
      "external", with the object supplied explicitly as the first
      argument, named .self. See "Inter-Package Superclasses" in the
      documentation.

* readBin() could fail on the SPARC architecture due to alignment
      issues.  (Reported by Radford Neal.)

* qt(*, df=Inf, ncp=.) now uses the natural qnorm() limit instead
      of returning NaN. (PR#16475)

* Auto-printing of S3 and S4 values now searches for print() in the
      base namespace and show() in the methods namespace instead of
      searching the global environment.

* polym() gains a coefs = NULL argument and returns class "poly"
      just like poly() which gets a new simple=FALSE option.  They now
      lead to correct predict()ions, e.g., on subsets of the original
      data.

* rhyper(nn, <large>) now works correctly. (PR#16489)

* ttkimage() did not (and could not) work so was removed. Ditto for
      tkimage.cget() and tkimage.configure(). Added two Ttk widgets and
      missing subcommands for Tk's image command: ttkscale(),
      ttkspinbox(), tkimage.delete(), tkimage.height(),
      tkimage.inuse(), tkimage.type(), tkimage.types(),
      tkimage.width(). (PR#15372, PR#16450)

* getClass("foo") now also returns a class definition when it is
      found in the cache more than once.

CHANGES IN R 3.2.1:

NEW FEATURES:

* utf8ToInt() now checks that its input is valid UTF-8 and returns
      NA if it is not.

* install.packages() now allows type = "both" with repos = NULL if
      it can infer the type of file.

* nchar(x, *) and nzchar(x) gain a new argument keepNA which
      governs how the result for NAs in x is determined.  For the R
      3.2.x series, the default remains FALSE which is fully back
      compatible.  From R 3.3.0, the default will change to keepNA = NA
      and you are advised to consider this for code portability.

* news() more flexibly extracts dates from package NEWS.Rd files.

* lengths(x) now also works (trivially) for atomic x and hence can
      be used more generally as an efficient replacement of sapply(x,
      length) and similar.

* The included version of PCRE has been updated to 8.37, a bug-fix
      release.

* diag() no longer duplicates a matrix when extracting its
      diagonal.

* as.character.srcref() gains an argument to allow characters
      corresponding to a range of source references to be extracted.

BUG FIXES:

* acf() and ccf() now guarantee values strictly in [-1,1] (instead
      of sometimes very slightly outside). PR#15832.

* as.integer("111111111111") now gives NA (with a warning) as it
      does for the corresponding numeric or negative number coercions.
      Further, as.integer(M + 0.1) now gives M (instead of NA) when M
      is the maximal representable integer.

* On some platforms nchar(x, "c") and nchar(x, "w") would return
      values (possibly NA) for inputs which were declared to be UTF-8
      but were not, or for invalid strings without a marked encoding in
      a multi-byte locale, rather than give an error.  Additional
      checks have been added to mitigate this.

* apply(a, M, function(u) c(X = ., Y = .)) again has dimnames
      containing "X" and "Y" (as in R < 3.2.0).

* (Windows only) In some cases, the --clean option to R CMD INSTALL
      could fail.  (PR#16178)

* (Windows only) choose.files() would occasionally include
      characters from the result of an earlier call in the result of a
      later one.  (PR#16270)

* A change in RSiteSearch() in R 3.2.0 caused it to submit invalid
      URLs.  (PR#16329)

* Rscript and command line R silently ignored incomplete statements
      at the end of a script; now they are reported as parse errors.
      (PR#16350)

* Parse data for very long strings was not stored.  (PR#16354)

* plotNode(), the workhorse of the plot method for "dendrogram"s is
      no longer recursive, thanks to Suharto Anggono, and hence also
      works for deeply nested dendrograms.  (PR#15215)

* The parser could overflow internally when given numbers in
      scientific format with extremely large exponents.  (PR#16358)

* If the CRAN mirror was not set, install.packages(type = "both")
      and related functions could repeatedly query the user for it.
      (Part of PR#16362)

* The low-level functions .rowSums() etc. did not check the length
      of their argument, so could segfault. (PR#16367)

* The quietly argument of library() is now correctly propagated
      from .getRequiredPackages2().

* Under some circumstances using the internal PCRE when building R
      fron source would cause external libs such as -llzma to be
      omitted from the main link.

* The .Primitive default methods of the logic operators, i.e., !, &
      and |, now give correct error messages when appropriate, e.g.,
      for `&`(TRUE) or `!`().  (PR#16385)

* cummax(x) now correctly propagates NAs also when x is of type
      integer and begins with an NA.

* summaryRprof() could fail when the profile contained only two
      records.  (PR#16395)

* HTML vignettes opened using vignette() did not support links into
      the rest of the HTML help system.  (Links worked properly when
      the vignette was opened using browseVignettes() or from within
      the help system.)

* arima(*, xreg = .) (for d >= 1) computes estimated variances
      based on a the number of effective observations as in R version
      3.0.1 and earlier.  (PR#16278)

* slotNames(.) is now correct for "signature" objects (mostly used
      internally in methods).

* On some systems, the first string comparison after a locale
      change would result in NA.

Thu Apr 16 14:52:43 UTC 2015 - detlef.steuer@gmx.de

- Upstream release 3.2.0
- Most important
  CHANGES IN 3.2.0:
  NEW FEATURES:

* anyNA() gains a recursive argument.

* When x is missing and names is not false (including the default
      value), Sys.getenv(x, names) returns an object of class "Dlist"
      and hence prints tidily.

* (Windows.)  shell() no longer consults the environment variable
      SHELL: too many systems have been encountered where it was set
      incorrectly (usually to a path where software was compiled, not
      where it was installed).  R_SHELL, the preferred way to select a
      non-default shell, can be used instead.

* Some unusual arguments to embedFonts() can now be specified as
      character vectors, and the defaults have been changed
      accordingly.

* Functions in the Summary group duplicate less.  (PR#15798)

* (Unix-alikes.) system(cmd, input = ) now uses
      'shell-execution-environment' redirection, which will be more
      natural if cmd is not a single command (but requires a
      POSIX-compliant shell). (Wish of PR#15508)

* read.fwf() and read.DIF() gain a fileEncoding argument, for
      convenience.

* Graphics devices can add attributes to their description in
      .Device and .Devices.  Several of those included with R use a
      "filepath" attribute.

* pmatch() uses hashing in more cases and so is faster at the
      expense of using more memory. (PR#15697)

* pairs() gains new arguments to select sets of variables to be
      plotted against each other.

* file.info(, extra_cols = FALSE) allows a minimal set of columns
      to be computed on Unix-alikes: on some systems without
      properly-configured caching this can be significantly faster with
      large file lists.

* New function dir.exists() in package base to test efficiently
      whether one or more paths exist and are directories.

* dput() and friends gain new controls hexNumeric and digits17
      which output double and complex quantities as, respectively,
      binary fractions (exactly, see sprintf("%a")) and as decimals
      with up to 17 significant digits.

* save(), saveRDS() and serialize() now support ascii = NA which
      writes ASCII files using sprintf("%a") for double/complex
      quantities.  This is read-compatible with ascii = TRUE but avoids
      binary->decimal->binary conversions with potential loss of
      precision.  Unfortunately the Windows C runtime's lack of C99
      compliance means that the format cannot be read correctly there
      in R before 3.1.2.

* The default for formatC(decimal.mark =) has been changed to be
      getOption("OutDec"); this makes it more consistent with format()
      and suitable for use in print methods, e.g. those for classes
      "density", "ecdf", "stepfun" and "summary.lm".

getOption("OutDec") is now consulted by the print method for
      class "kmeans", by cut(), dendrogram(), plot.ts() and quantile()
      when constructing labels and for the report from legend(trace =
      TRUE).

(In part, wish of PR#15819.)

* printNum() and hence format() and formatC() give a warning if
      big.mark and decimal.mark are set to the same value (period and
      comma are not uncommonly used for each, and this is a check that
      conventions have not got mixed).

* merge() can create a result which uses long vectors on 64-bit
      platforms.

* dget() gains a new argument keep.source which defaults to FALSE
      for speed (dput() and dget() are most often used for data objects
      where this can make dget() many times faster).

* Packages may now use a file of common macro definitions in their
      help files, and may import definitions from other packages.

* A number of macros have been added in the new share/Rd directory
      for use in package overview help pages, and promptPackage() now
      makes use of them.

* tools::parse_Rd() gains a new permissive argument which converts
      unrecognized macros into text.  This is used by
      utils:::format.bibentry to allow LaTeX markup to be ignored.

* options(OutDec =) can now specify a multi-byte character, e.g.,
      options(OutDec = "\u00b7") in a UTF-8 locale.

* is.recursive(x) is no longer true when x is an external pointer,
      a weak reference or byte code; the first enables all.equal(x, x)
      when x <- getClass(.).

* ls() (aka objects()) and as.list.environment() gain a new
      argument sorted.

* The "source" attribute (which has not been added to functions by
      R since before R version 2.14.0) is no longer treated as special.

* Function returnValue() has been added to give on.exit() code
      access to a function's return value for debugging purposes.

* crossprod(x, y) allows more matrix coercions when x or y are
      vectors, now equalling t(x) %*% y in these cases (also reported
      by Radford Neal).  Similarly, tcrossprod(x,y) and %*% work in
      more cases with vector arguments.

* Utility function dynGet() useful for detecting cycles, aka
      infinite recursions.

* The byte-code compiler and interpreter include new instructions
      that allow many scalar subsetting and assignment and scalar
      arithmetic operations to be handled more efficiently. This can
      result in significant performance improvements in scalar
      numerical code.

* apply(m, 2, identity) is now the same as the matrix m when it has
      _named_ row names.

* A new function debuggingState() has been added, allowing to
      temporarily turn off debugging.

* example() gets a new optional argument run.donttest and
      tools::Rd2ex() a corresponding commentDonttest, with a default
      such that example(..) in help examples will run \donttest code
      only if used interactively (a change in behaviour).

* rbind.data.frame() gains an optional argument make.row.names, for
      potential speedup.

* New function extSoftVersion() to report on the versions of
      third-party software in use in this session.  Currently reports
      versions of zlib, bzlib, the liblzma from xz, PCRE, ICU, TRE and
      the iconv implementation.

A similar function grSoftVersion() in package grDevices reports
      on third-party graphics software.

Function tcltk::tclVersion() reports the Tcl/Tk version.

* Calling callGeneric() without arguments now works with primitive
      generics to some extent.

* vapply(x, FUN, FUN.VALUE) is more efficient notably for large
      length(FUN.VALUE); as extension of PR#16061.

* as.table() now allows tables with one or more dimensions of
      length 0 (such as as.table(integer())).

* names(x) <- NULL now clears the names of call and ... objects.

* library() will report a warning when an insufficient dependency
      version is masking a sufficient one later on the library search
      path.

* A new plot() method for class "raster" has been added.

* New check_packages_in_dir_changes() function in package tools for
      conveniently analyzing how changing sources impacts the check
      results of their reverse dependencies.

* Speed-up from Peter Haverty for ls() and
      methods:::.requirePackage() speeding up package loading.
      (PR#16133)

* New get0() function, combining exists() and get() in one call,
      for efficiency.

* match.call() gains an envir argument for specifying the
      environment from which to retrieve the ... in the call, if any;
      this environment was wrong (or at least undesirable) when the
      definition argument was a function.

* topenv() has been made .Internal() for speedup, based on Peter
      Haverty's proposal in PR#16140.

* getOption() no longer calls options() in the main case.

* Optional use of libcurl (version 7.28.0 from Oct 2012 or later)
      for Internet access:

* capabilities("libcurl") reports if this is available.

* libcurlVersion() reports the version in use, and other
          details of the "libcurl" build including which URL schemes it
          supports.

* curlGetHeaders() retrieves the headers for http://, https://,
          ftp:// and ftps:// URLs: analysis of these headers can
          provide insights into the `existence' of a URL (it might for
          example be permanently redirected) and is so used in R CMD
          check --as-cran.

* download.file() has a new optional method "libcurl" which
          will handle more URL schemes, follow redirections, and allows
          simultaneous downloads of multiple URLs.

* url() has a new method "libcurl" which handles more URL
          schemes and follows redirections.  The default method is
          controlled by a new option url.method, which applies also to
          the opening of URLs _via_ file() (which happens implicitly in
          functions such as read.table.)

* When file() or url() is invoked with a https:// or ftps://
          URL which the current method cannot handle, it switches to a
          suitable method if one is available.

* (Windows.) The DLLs internet.dll and internet2.dll have been
      merged.  In this version it is safe to switch (repeatedly)
      between the internal and Windows internet functions within an R
      session.

The Windows internet functions are still selected by flag
      --internet2 or setInternet2().  This can be overridden for an
      url() connection _via_ its new method argument.

download.file() has new method "wininet", selected as the default
      by --internet2 or setInternet2().

* parent.env<- can no longer modify the parent of a locked
      namespace or namespace imports environment.  Contributed by Karl
      Millar.

* New function isLoadedNamespace() for readability and speed.

* names(env) now returns all the object names of an environment
      env, equivalently to ls(env, all.names = TRUE, sorted = FALSE)
      and also to the names of the corresponding list,
      names(as.list(env, all.names = TRUE)).  Note that although
      names() returns a character vector, the names have no particular
      ordering.

* The memory manager now grows the heap more aggressively. This
      reduces the number of garbage collections, in particular while
      data or code are loaded, at the expense of slightly increasing
      the memory footprint.

* New function trimws() for removing leading/trailing whitespace.

* cbind() and rbind() now consider S4 inheritance during S3
      dispatch and also obey deparse.level.

* cbind() and rbind() will delegate recursively to methods::cbind2
      (methods::rbind2) when at least one argument is an S4 object and
      S3 dispatch fails (due to ambiguity).

* (Windows.)  download.file(quiet = FALSE) now uses text rather
      than Windows progress bars in non-interactive use.

* New function hsearch_db() in package utils for building and
      retrieving the help search database used by help.search(), along
      with functions for inspecting the concepts and keywords in the
      help search database.

* New function .getNamespaceInfo(), a no-check version of
      getNamespaceInfo() mostly for internal speedups.

* The help search system now takes \keyword entries in Rd files
      which are not standard keywords (as given in KEYWORDS in the R
      documentation directory) as concepts.  For standard keyword
      entries the corresponding descriptions are additionally taken as
      concepts.

* New lengths() function for getting the lengths of all elements in
      a list.

* New function toTitleCase() in package tools, tailored to package
      titles.

* The matrix methods of cbind() and rbind() allow matrices as
      inputs which have 2^31 or more elements.  (For cbind(), wish of
      PR#16198.)

* The default method of image() has an explicit check for a numeric
      or logical matrix (which was always required).

* URLencode() will not by default encode further URLs which appear
      to be already encoded.

* BIC(mod) and BIC(mod, mod2) now give non-NA numbers for arima()
      fitted models, as nobs(mod) now gives the number of "used"
      observations for such models.  This fixes PR#16198, quite
      differently than proposed there.

* The print() methods for "htest", "pairwise.htest" and
      "power.htest" objects now have a digits argument defaulting to (a
      function of) getOption("digits"), and influencing all printed
      numbers coherently.  Unavoidably, this changes the display of
      such test results in some cases.

* Code completion for namespaces now recognizes all loaded
      namespaces, rather than only the ones that are also attached.

* The code completion mechanism can now be replaced by a
      user-specified completer function, for (temporary) situations
      where the usual code completion is inappropriate.

* unzip() will now warn if it is able to detect truncation when
      unpacking a file of 4GB or more (related to PR#16243).

* methods() reports S4 in addition to S3 methods; output is
      simplified when the class argument is used.  .S3methods() and
      methods::.S4methods() report S3 and S4 methods separately.

* Higher order functions such as the apply functions and Reduce()
      now force arguments to the functions they apply in order to
      eliminate undesirable interactions between lazy evaluation and
      variable capture in closures.  This resolves PR#16093.

INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* The \donttest sections of R's help files can be tested by
      make check TEST_DONTTEST=TRUE .

* It is possible to request the use of system valgrind headers
      _via_ configure option --with-system-valgrind-headers: note the
      possible future incompatibility of such headers discussed in the
      'R Installation and Administration' manual. (Wish of PR#16068.)

* The included version of liblzma has been updated to xz-utils
      5.0.7 (minor bug fixes from 5.0.5).

* configure options --with-system-zlib, --with-system-bzlib and
      --with-system-pcre are now the default.  For the time being there
      is fallback to the versions included in the R sources if no
      system versions are found or (unlikely) if they are too old.

Linux users should check that the -devel or -dev versions of
      packages zlib, bzip2/libbz2 and pcre as well as
      xz-devel/liblzma-dev (or similar names) are installed.

* configure by default looks for the texi2any script from texinfo
      5.1 or later, rather than the makeinfo program.  (makeinfo is a
      link to the Perl script texi2any in texinfo 5.x.)

* R CMD INSTALL gains an option --built-timestamp=STAMP allowing
      100% reproducible package building, thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel.

UTILITIES:

* There is support for testing the \dontrun and \donttest parts of
      examples in packages.

tools::testInstalledPackage() accepts new arguments
      commentDontrun = FALSE and commentDonttest = FALSE.

R CMD check gains options --run-dontrun and --run-donttest.

* The HTML generated by tools::Rd2HTML() and tools::toHTML()
      methods is now 'XHTML 1.0 Strict'.

* The compiler package's utility function setCompilerOptions() now
      returns the old values invisibly. The initial optimization level
      can also be set with the environment variable
      R_COMPILER_OPTIMIZE.

* R CMD build adds a NeedsCompilation field if one is not already
      present in the DESCRIPTION file.

* R CMD check gains option --test-dir to specify an alternative set
      of tests to run.

* R CMD check will now by default continue with testing after many
      types of errors, and will output a summary count of errors at the
      end if any have occurred.

* R CMD check now checks that the Title and Description fields are
      correctly terminated.

* R CMD check --as-cran now:

* checks a README.md file can be processed: this needs pandoc
          installed.

* checks the existence and accessibility of URLs in the
          DESCRIPTION, CITATION, NEWS.Rd and README.md files and in the
          help files (provided the build has libcurl support).

* reports non-ASCII characters in R source files when there is
          no package encoding declared in the DESCRIPTION file.

* reports (apparent) S3 methods exported but not registered.

* reports overwriting registered S3 methods from
          base/recommended packages.  (Such methods are replaced in the
          affected package for the rest of the session, even if the
          replacing namespace is unloaded.)

* reports if the Title field does not appear to be in title
          case (see 'Writing R Extensions': there may be false
          positives, but note that technical words should be
          single-quoted and will then be accepted).

Most of these checks can also be selected by environment
      variables: see the 'R Internals' manual.

C-LEVEL FACILITIES:

* New C API utility logspace_sum(logx[], n).

* Entry points rbinom_mu, rnbinom_mu and rmultinom are remapped (by
      default) to Rf_rbinom_mu etc.  This requires packages using them
      to be re-installed.

* .C(DUP = FALSE) and .Fortran(DUP = FALSE) are now ignored, so
      arguments are duplicated if DUP = TRUE would do so.  As their
      help has long said, .Call() is much preferred.

* New entry point R_allocLD, like R_alloc but guaranteed to have
      sufficient alignment for long double pointers.

* isPairList() now returns TRUE for DOTSXP.

WINDOWS BUILD CHANGES:

A number of changes to the Windows build system are in development.
  The following are currently in place.

* Installation using external binary distributions of zlib, bzip2,
      liblzma, pcre, libpng, jpeglib and libtiff is now required, and
      the build instructions have been revised.

* A new make target rsync-extsoft has been added to obtain copies
      of the external libraries from CRAN.

* Building the manuals now requires texi2any from texinfo 5.1 or
      later.  CRAN binary builds include the manuals, but by default
      builds from source will not, and they will be accessed from CRAN.
      See the comments in src/gnuwin32/MkRules.dist for how to specify
      the location of texi2any.

* (Windows) Changes have been made to support an experimental
      Windows toolchain based on GCC 4.9.2.  The default toolchain
      continues to be based on GCC 4.6.3, as the new toolchain is not
      yet stable enough.  A change to a new toolchain is expected
      during the R 3.2.x lifetime.

PACKAGE INSTALLATION:

* (Windows) The use of macro ZLIB_LIBS in file src/Makevars.win
      (which has not been documented for a long time) now requires an
      external libz.a to be available (it is part of the 'goodies' used
      to compile Windows binary packages).  It would be simpler to use
      -lz instead.

* The default for option pkgType on platforms using binary packages
      is now "both", so source packages will be tried if binary
      versions are not available or not up to date.

There are options for what install.packages(type = "both")
      (possibly called _via_ update.packages()) will do if compilation
      of a source package is desirable: see ?options (under utils).

If you intend not to accept updates as source packages, you
      should use update.packages(type = "binary").

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:

* download.file(method = "lynx") is defunct.

* Building R using the included versions of zlib, bzip2, xz and
      PCRE is deprecated: these are frozen (bar essential bug-fixes)
      and will be removed for R 3.3.0.

* The configure option --with-valgrind-instrumentation=3 has been
      withdrawn, as it did not work with recent valgrind headers: it is
      now treated as level 2.

* The MethodsList class in package methods had been deprecated in R
      2.11.0 and is defunct now.  Functions using it are defunct if
      they had been deprecated in R 2.11.0, and are deprecated now,
      otherwise.

BUG FIXES:

* Fixed two obscure bugs in pairlist subassignment, reported by
      Radford Neal as part of pqR issue 16.

* Fixes for bugs in handling empty arguments and argument matching
      by name in log().

* all.equal() gains methods for environments and refClasses.

* [<- and [[<- gain S4 data.frame methods to avoid corruption of S4
      class information by the S3 methods.

* callNextMethod() should now work within a .local call when ... is
      absent from formals(.local).

* dput(pairlist(x)) generates a call to the pairlist constructor
      instead of the list constructor.

* Fix missing() when arguments are propagated through ... .
      (PR#15707)

* eigen(m) now defaults to symmetric = TRUE even when the dimnames
      are asymmetric if the matrix is otherwise symmetric.  (PR#16151)

* Fix issues with forwarding ... through callGeneric() and
      callNextMethod().  (PR#16141)

* callGeneric() now works after a callNextMethod().

* Subclass information is kept consistent when replacing an
      ordinary S4 class with an "old class" _via_ the S4Class argument
      to setOldClass(). Thus, for example, a data.frame is valid for a
      list argument in the signature, and a factor is valid for vector
      arguments.

* In qbeta() the inversion of pbeta() is much more sophisticated.
      This works better in corner cases some of which failed completely
      previously (PR#15755), or were using too many iterations.

* Auto-printing no longer duplicates objects when printing is
      dispatched to a method.

* kmeans(x, k) would fail when nrow(x) >= 42949673.  (Comment 6 of
      PR#15364)

* 'Abbreviated' locale-specific day and month names could have been
      truncated in those rare locales where there are the same as the
      full names.

* An irrelevant warning message from updating subclass information
      was silenced (the namespace would not be writable in this case).

- Most important
  CHANGES IN R 3.1.3:

NEW FEATURES:

* The internal method of download.file() can now handle files
      larger than 2GB on 32-bit builds which support such files (tested
      on 32-bit R running on 64-bit Windows).

* kruskal.test() warns on more types of suspicious input.

* The as.dendrogram() method for "hclust" objects gains a check
      argument protecting against memory explosion for invalid inputs.

* capabilities() has a new item long.double which indicates if the
      build uses a long double type which is longer than double.

* nlm() no longer modifies the callback argument in place (a new
      vector is allocated for each invocation, which mimics the
      implicit duplication that occurred in R < 3.1.0); note that this
      is a change from the previously documented behavior. (PR#15958)

* icuSetCollate() now accepts locale = "ASCII" which uses the basic
      C function strcmp and so collates strings byte-by-byte in
      numerical order.

* sessionInfo() tries to report the OS version in use (not just
      that compiled under, and including details of Linux
      distributions).

* model.frame() (used by lm() and many other modelling functions)
      now warns when it drops contrasts from factors.  (Wish of
      PR#16119)

* install.packages() and friends now accept the value type =
      "binary" as a synonym for the native binary type on the platform
      (if it has one).

* Single source or binary files can be supplied for
      install.packages(type = "both") and the appropriate type and
      repos = NULL will be inferred.

* New function pcre_config() to report on some of the configuration
      options of the version of PCRE in use.  In particular, this
      reports if regular expressions using \p{xx} are supported.

* (Windows.) download.file(cacheOK = FALSE) is now supported when
      internet2.dll is used.

* browseURL() has been updated to work with Firefox 36.0 which has
      dropped support for the -remote interface.

INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* The included version of PCRE has been updated to 8.36.

* configure accepts MAKEINFO=texi2any as another way to ensure
      texinfo 5.x is used when both 5.x and 4.x are installed.

UTILITIES:

* R CMD check now checks the packages used in \donttest sections of
      the examples are specified in the DESCRIPTION file.  (These are
      needed to run the examples interactively.)

* R CMD check checks for the undeclared use of GNU extensions in
      Makefiles, and for Makefiles with a missing final linefeed.

R CMD build will correct line endings in all Makefiles, not just
      those in the src directory.

* R CMD check notes uses of library() and require() in package
      code: see the section 'Suggested packages' of 'Writing R
      Extensions' for good practice.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:

* The configure option --with-valgrind-instrumentation=3 is
      deprecated and will be removed in R 3.2.0.

BUG FIXES:

* (Windows.) Rscript.exe was missing a manifest specifying the
      modern style for common controls (e.g., the download progress
      bar).

* If a package had extra documentation files but no vignette, the
      HTML help system produced an empty index page.

* The parser now gives an error if a null character is included in
      a string using Unicode escapes. (PR#16046)

* qr.Q() failed on complex arguments due to pre-3.0(!) typo.
      (PR#16054)

* abs() failed with named arguments when the argument was complex.
      (PR#16047)

* "noquote" objects may now be used as columns in dataframes.
      (PR#15997)

* Some values with extremely long names were printed incorrectly.
      (PR#15999)

* Extremely large exponents on zero expressed in scientific
      notation (e.g. 0.0e50000) could give NaN.  (PR#15976)

* download.file() reported downloaded sizes as 0KB if less than
      1MB, only for R 3.1.2 and only on big-endian platforms.

* prompt() did not escape percent signs in the automatically
      generated usage section of help files.

* drop.terms() dropped some of the attributes of the object it was
      working with.  (PR#16029)

* (Windows.) The command completion in Rgui.exe messed up the
      console.  (PR#15791)

* (Windows.) The choose.files() command returned a blank string
      when the user asked for a single file but cancelled the request.
      (PR#16074)

* Math2 S4 group generics failed to correctly dispatch "structure"-
      and "nonStructure"-derived classes.

* loadNamespace() imposed undocumented restrictions on the
      versionCheck parameter.  (Reported by Geoff Lee.)

* Rare over-runs detected by AddressSanitizer in substr() and its
      replacement version have been avoided.

_Inter alia_ that fix gives the documented behaviour for
      substr(x, 1, 2) <- "" (subsequently reported as PR#16214).

* Loading packages incorrectly defining an S4 generic followed by a
      function of the same name caused an erroneous cyclic namespace
      dependency error.

* Declared vignette encodings are now always passed to the vignette
      engine.

* Port Tomas Kalibera's fix from R-devel that restores the
      loadMethod() fast path, effectively doubling the speed of S4
      dispatch.

* power.t.test() and power.prop.test() now make use of the
      extendInt option of uniroot() and hence work in more extreme
      cases.  (PR#15792)

* If a package was updated and attached when its namespace was
      already loaded, it could end up with parts from one version and
      parts from the other.  (PR#16120)

* tools:::.Rdconv() didn't accept --encoding= due to a typo.
      (PR#16121)

* Unix-alike builds without a suitable makeinfo were documented to
      link the missing HTML manuals to CRAN, but did not.

* save(*, ascii=TRUE) and load() now correctly deal with NaN's.
      (PR#16137)

* split.Date() retains fractional representations while avoiding
      incomplete class propagation.

* R_ext/Lapack.h had not been updated for changes made by LAPACK to
      the argument lists of its (largely internal) functions dlaed2 and
      dlaed3.  (PR#16157)

* RShowDoc("NEWS", "txt") had not been updated for the layout
      changes of R 3.1.0.

* The xtfrm() method for class "Surv" has been corrected and its
      description expanded.

* mode(x) <- y would incorrectly evaluate x before changing its
      mode. (PR#16215)

* besselJ(1, 2^64) and besselY(..) now signal a warning, returning
      NaN instead of typically segfaulting. (Issue 3 of PR#15554)

* HTML conversion of \href markup in .Rd files did not remove the
      backslash from \% and so gave an invalid URL.  In a related
      change, the \ escape is now required in such URLs.

  CHANGES IN R 3.1.2:

NEW FEATURES:

* embedFonts() now defaults to format = "ps2write" for .ps and .eps
      files.  This is available in Ghostscript 9.x (since 2010) whereas
      the previous default, format = "pswrite", was removed in
      Ghostscript 9.10.

* For consistency with [dpqr]norm(), [dp]lnorm(sdlog = 0) model a
      point mass at exp(mulog) rather than return NaN (for an error).

* capabilities() now reports if ICU is compiled in for use for
      collation (it is only actually used if a suitable locale is set
      for collation, and never for a C locale).

* (OS X only.) Package tcltk checks when loaded if it is linked
      against the CRAN X11-based Tcl/Tk and if so that the Tcl/Tk
      component and the X11 libraries are installed.  This allows more
      informative error messages to be given advising the installation
      of the missing component or of XQuartz.

The X11() device and X11-based versions of the data editor and
      viewer (invoked by edit() and View() for data frames and matrices
      from command-line R) check that the X11 libraries are installed
      and if not advises installing XQuartz.

* icuSetCollate() allows locale = "default", and locale = "none" to
      use OS services rather than ICU for collation.

Environment variable R_ICU_LOCALE can be used to set the default
      ICU locale, in case the one derived from the OS locale is
      inappropriate (this is currently necessary on Windows).

* New function icuGetCollate() to report on the ICU collation
      locale in use (if any).

* utils::URLencode() was updated to use unreserved and reserved
      characters from RFC 3986, <URL:
      http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>, instead of RFC 1738.

* unique(warnings()) and c(warnings()) are now supported.

* The Bioconductor 'version' used by setRepositories() now defaults
      to 3.0. (It can be set at runtime _via_ environment variable
      R_BIOC_VERSION.)

INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* The configure script reports on the more important
      capabilities/options which will not be compiled in.

More types of external BLAS are recognized by name in that
      report.

* When building R as a shared library, the -L${R_HOME}/lib${R_ARCH}
      flag is placed earlier in the link commands used during
      installation and when packages are installed: this helps ensure
      that the current build has priority if an R shared library has
      already been installed by e.g. install-libR in a library
      mentioned in LDFLAGS (and not in 'your system's library
      directory' as documented). (Wish of PR#15790.)

* LaTeX package upquote is no longer required for R's use of
      inconsolata.

* (Windows only) If both 32 and 64 bit versions of R are installed,
      the bin/R.exe and bin/Rscript.exe executables now run 64 bit R.
      (To run 32 bit R, overwrite these files with copies of
      bin/i386/Rfe.exe.)

UTILITIES:

* Running R CMD check with _R_CHECK_DEPENDS_ONLY_ true now makes
      the VignetteBuilder packages available even if they are listed in
      Suggests, since they are needed to recognise and process
      non-Sweave vignettes.

* R CMD check now reports empty importFrom declarations in a
      NAMESPACE file, as these are common errors (writing
      importFrom(Pkg) where import(Pkg) was intended).

* R CMD check now by default checks code usage directly on the
      package namespace without loading and attaching the package and
      its suggests and enhances.  For good practice with packages in
      the Suggests field, see SS1.1.3.1 of 'Writing R Extensions'.  For
      use of lazy-data objects in the package's own code, see ?data.

BUG FIXES:

* dmultinom() did not handle non-finite probabilities correctly.

* prettyNum(x, zero.print=*) now also works when x contains NAs.

* A longstanding bug exhibited by nlminb() on Windows was traced to
      a compiler bug in gcc 4.6.3; a workaround has been put in place.
      (PR#15244 and PR#15914).

* Rendering of \command in HTML versions of help pages has been
      improved: this is particularly evident on the help page for
      INSTALL.

* as.hexmode(x) and as.octmode(x) now behave correctly for some
      numeric x, e.g., c(NA, 1) or c(1, pi).

* drop1() failed if the scope argument had no variables to drop.
      (PR#15935)

* edit() (and hence fix()) failed if an object had a non-character
      attribute named "source" (an attribute that had been used in R
      prior to version 2.14.0).

* callGeneric() could fail if the generic had ... as a formal
      argument. (PR#15937).

* Forking in package parallel called C entry point exit in the
      child.  This was unsafe (_exit should have been called), and
      could flush stdin of the main R process (seen most often on
      Solaris).

As good practice, stdout is now flushed before forking a child.

* R objects such as list(`a\b` = 1) now print correctly.

* getAnywhere("C_pbinom") now returns correctly a single object
      (rather than unlisting it).

* The confint() method for nls() fits failed it these has specified
      parameter limits despite using an algorithm other than "port".
      (PR#15960)

* Subclassing an S4 class failed if the class required arguments to
      the generator, through its initialize() method.

* removeSource() did not properly handle expressions containing
      arguments that were supplied as missing, e.g.  x[i,]. (PR#15957)

* as.environment(list()) now works, and as.list() of such an
      environment is now the same as list().

* Several tcltk functions failed when run in unusual environments.
      (PR#15970)

* options(list()) now works (trivially). (PR#15979)

* merge(<dendrogram>, ..) now works correctly for two `independent'
      dendrograms (PR#15648), and still compatibly via adjust = "auto"
      e.g. for two branches of an existing dendrogram.

* The plot method for "hclust" objects gets an optional argument
      check; When that is true (the default) it checks more carefully
      for valid input.

* (Windows only) If a user chose to install 64 bit R but not 32 bit
      R, the bin/R and bin/Rscript executables failed to run.
      (PR#15981)

* Various possible buffer overruns have been prevented, and missed
      memory protection added. (PR#15990)

* Rscript no longer passes --args to R when there are no extra
      ("user") arguments.

* objects like getClass("refClass")@prototype now print() and str()
      without error.

* identical() now also looks at the S4 bit.

* hist(x, breaks) is more robust in adding a small fuzz to few
      breaks when some are very large. (PR#15988)

* sub() and gsub() did not handle regular expressions like "\s{2,}"
      properly if the text contained NA or non-ascii elements in a
      UTF-8 locale.  Part of this was due to a bug in the TRE library.
      (PR#16009)

* RShowDoc("NEWS") now displays the PDF version.

* Matrices and arrays with last dimension zero did not print at all
      or incompletely.  (PR#16012)

* plot.histogram() and hence hist() now respect the xaxs, yaxs and
      lab graphics parameters.  (PR#16021)

* bw.SJ(x) and other bw.*() no longer segfault when x contains
      non-finite values. (PR#16024)

* R CMD Rd2pdf unintentionally ignored its --os option.

* The internal method of download.file() was not reporting file
      sizes and progress correctly on files larger than 2GB (inherited
      from libxml2).  This is corrected for 64-bit builds (32-bit
      platforms may not support such files, but where possible will be
      supported in future versions of R).

* Work around a bug in OS X Yosemite where key environment
      variables may be duplicated causing issues in subprocesses. The
      duplicates are now removed on R startup (via Rprofile).
      (PR#16042)

* Adjust X11 auto-launch detection in DISPLAY on OS X to recognize
      latest XQuartz.

   CHANGES IN R 3.1.1:

CHANGES IN R 3.1.1:

NEW FEATURES:

* When attach() reports conflicts, it does so compatibly with
      library() by using message().

* R CMD Sweave no longer cleans any files by default, compatibly
      with versions of R prior to 3.1.0.  There are new options
      --clean, --clean=default and --clean=keepOuts.

* tools::buildVignette() and tools::buildVignettes() with clean =
      FALSE no longer remove any created files.  buildvignette() gains
      a keep argument for more cleaning customization.

* The Bioconductor 'version' used by setRepositories() can now be
      set by environment variable R_BIOC_VERSION at runtime, not just
      when R is installed.  (It has been stated that Bioconductor will
      switch from 'version' 2.14 to 'version' 3.0 during the lifetime
      of the R 3.1 series.)

* Error messages from bugs in embedded Sexpr code in Sweave
      documents now report the source location.

* type.convert(), read.table() and similar read.*() functions get a
      new numerals argument, specifying how numeric input is converted
      when its conversion to double precision loses accuracy.  The
      default value, "allow.loss" allows accuracy loss, as in R
      versions before 3.1.0.

* For some compilers, integer addition could overflow without a
      warning.  R's internal code for both integer addition and
      subtraction is more robust now.  (PR#15774)

* The function determining the default number of knots for
      smooth.spline() is now exported, as .nknots.smspl().

* dbeta(, a,b), pbeta(), qbeta() and rbeta() are now defined also
      for a = 0, b = 0, or infinite a and b (where they typically
      returned NaN before).

* Many package authors report that the RStudio graphics device does
      not work correctly with their package's use of dev.new().  The
      new option dev.new(noRStudioGD = TRUE) replaces the RStudio
      override by the default device as selected by R itself, still
      respecting environment variables R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE and
      R_DEFAULT_DEVICE.

* readRDS() now returns visibly.

* Modifying internal logical scalar constants now results in an
      error instead of a warning.

* install.packages(repos = NULL) now accepts http:// or ftp:// URLs
      of package archives as well as file paths, and will download as
      required.  In most cases repos = NULL can be deduced from the
      extension of the URL.

* The warning when using partial matching with the $ operator on
      data frames is now only given when
      options("warnPartialMatchDollar") is TRUE.

* Package help requests like package?foo now try the package foo
      whether loaded or not.

* General help requests now default to trying all loaded packages,
      not just those on the search path.

* Added a new function promptImport(), to generate a help page for
      a function that was imported from another package (and presumably
      re-exported, or help would not be needed).

INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* configure option --with-internal-tzcode can now be used with
      variable rsharedir.

* The included version of PCRE has been updated to 8.35.

* There is a new target make uninstall-libR to remove an installed
      shared/static libR.

make install-libR now works if a sub-architecture is used,
      although the user will need to specify libdir differently for
      different sub-architectures.

* There is more extensive advice on which LaTeX packages are
      required to install R or to make package manuals (as done by R
      CMD check) in the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.

* Compilers/linkers were handling the visibility controls in
      src/extra/xz inconsistently (and apparently in some cases
      incorrectly), so it has been simplified.  (PR#15327)

* (Windows) There is updated support for the use of ICU for
      collation: see the 'R Installation and Administration Manual'.

BUG FIXES:

* dbinom(x, n), pbinom(), dpois(), etc, are slightly less
      restrictive in checking if n is integer-valued.  (Wish of
      PR#15734.)

* pchisq(x, df, ncp, log.p = TRUE) is more accurate and no longer
      underflows for small x and ncp < 80, e.g, for pchisq(1e-5, df =
      100, ncp = 1, log = TRUE).  (Based on PR#15635 and a suggestion
      by Roby Joehanes.)

* The s ("step into") command in the debugger would cause R to step
      into expressions evaluated there, not just into functions being
      debugged.  (PR#15770)

* The C code used by strptime() rejected time-zone offsets of more
      than +1200 (+1245, +1300 and +1400 can occur).  (PR#15768)

* (Windows only.)  png(type = "cairo", antialias = "gray") was not
      accepted.  (PR#15760)

* Use of save(..., envir=) with named objects could fail.
      (PR#15758)

* Sweave() mis-parsed Sexpr expressions that contained backslashes.
      (PR#15779)

* The return value from options(foo = NULL) was not the previous
      value of the option.  (PR#15781)

* enc2utf8() and enc2native() did not always mark the encoding of
      the return values when it was known.

* dnbinom(x, size = <large>, mu, log = TRUE) no longer underflows
      to -Inf for large mu, thanks to a suggestion from Alessandro
      Mammana (MPI MolGen, Berlin).

* pbeta(x, a, b, log = TRUE) no longer behaves discontinuously (in
      a small x-region) because of denormalized numbers.  Also,
      pbeta(1-1e-12, 1e30, 1.001, log=TRUE) now terminates "in real
      time".

* The "CRAN" filter (see available.packages()) no longer removes
      duplicates other than of packages on CRAN, and does not fail if
      there is no CRAN repository in getOption("repos").

* The device listing from dev2bitmap() and bitmap() was truncated
      to 1000 characters: modern versions of GhostScript on most
      platforms have many more devices.

* (Windows.)  Commands such as Sys.which() and pipe() which needed
      to find the full path to a command could segfault if the 'long'
      path name was much longer than the 'short' path name (which
      Sys.which() returns), as the behaviour of the Windows API call
      had changed.

* R CMD build will fail with an error if one of the packages
      specified in the VignetteBuilder field is not installed.
      (Without loading those packages it cannot be ascertained which
      files are intended to be vignettes. This means that the
      VignetteBuilder packages have to be installed for package
      checking too.)  (Wish of PR#15775.)

* Misguided attempts to use chull() with non-finite points now give
      an error (related to PR#15777).

* For a formula with exactly 32 variables the 32nd variable was
      aliased to the intercept in some C-level computations of terms,
      so that for example attempting to remove it would remove the
      intercept instead (and leave a corrupt internal structure).
      (PR#15735)

* anyDuplicated() silently returned wrong values when the first
      duplicate was at an index which was too large to be stored in an
      integer vector (although a lot of RAM and patience would have
      been needed to encounter this).

* tools::Rd2ex(commentDontrun = FALSE) failed if the block had only
      one line.

* Hexadecimal constants such as 0x110p-5L which were incorrectly
      qualified by L were parsed incorrectly since R 3.0.0, with a
      slightly garbled warning. (PR#15753)

* system() returned success on some platforms even if the system
      was unable to launch a process. (PR#15796)

* (Windows Rgui console.)  Unbuffered output was sometimes not
      output immediately if the prompt was not on the last line of the
      console.

* The built-in help server did not declare the encoding for the
      DESCRIPTION or other text files to be the package encoding, so
      non-ASCII characters could be displayed incorrectly.

* R is now trying harder to not cleanup child processes that were
      not spawned by mcparallel() on platforms that provide information
      about the source process of the SIGCHLD signal. This allows 3rd
      party libraries to manage the exit status of children that they
      spawn without R interfering.

* mcmapply() was only parallelizing if the number of jobs was
      bigger than the number of cores. It now parallelizes if the
      number of jobs is more than one.

* Auto-printing would re-evaluate its argument when trying to
      dispatch to a print method.  This is now avoided when possible.

* Unserializing (including load() and readRDS()) could silently
      return incorrect numeric values from ASCII saves if there was a
      read error.

* getParseData() could return incorrect values for the parents of
      some elements. (Reported by Andrew Redd.)

* Attempting to use data frames of 2^31 or more rows with merge()
      or to create a merged data frame of that size now gives a clearer
      error message.

* parse() did not check its file argument was a connection if it
      was not a character string, so e.g. parse(FALSE) attempted to
      read from stdin.

Nor did dump() and dput().

* The "help.try.all.packages" option was ignored when the shortcut
      syntax for help was used, e.g. ?foo.

* A potential segfault in string allocation has been fixed.  (Found
      by Radford Neal.)

* Potential memory protection errors in sort() and D() have been
      fixed. (Found by Radford Neal.)

* Fixed a lack of error checking in graphics event functions.
      (Found by Radford Neal; a different patch used here than the one
      in pqR.)

* numericDeriv() sometimes miscalculated the gradient.  (PR#15849,
      reported originally by Radford Neal)

   CHANGES IN R 3.1.0:

NEW FEATURES:

* type.convert() (and hence by default read.table()) returns a
      character vector or factor when representing a numeric input as a
      double would lose accuracy.  Similarly for complex inputs.

If a file contains numeric data with unrepresentable numbers of
      decimal places that are intended to be read as numeric, specify
      colClasses in read.table() to be "numeric".

* tools::Rdiff(useDiff = FALSE) is closer to the POSIX definition
      of diff -b (as distinct from the description in the man pages of
      most systems).

* New function anyNA(), a version of any(is.na(.)) which is fast
      for atomic vectors, based on a proposal by Tim Hesterberg. (Wish
      of PR#15239.)

* arrayInd(*, useNames = TRUE) and, analogously, which(*, arr.ind =
      TRUE) now make use of names(.dimnames) when available.

* is.unsorted() now also works for raw vectors.

* The "table" method for as.data.frame() (also useful as
      as.data.frame.table()) now passes sep and base arguments to
      provideDimnames().

* uniroot() gets new optional arguments, notably extendInt,
      allowing to auto-extend the search interval when needed.  The
      return value has an extra component, init.it.

* switch(f, ...) now warns when f is a factor, as this typically
      happens accidentally where the useR meant to pass a character
      string, but f is treated as integer (as always documented).

* The parser has been modified to use less memory.

* The way the unary operators (+ - !) handle attributes is now more
      consistent.  If there is no coercion, all attributes (including
      class) are copied from the input to the result: otherwise only
      names, dims and dimnames are.

* colorRamp() and colorRampPalette() now allow non-opaque colours
      and a ramp in opacity via the new argument alpha = TRUE.
      (Suggested by Alberto Krone-Martins, but optionally as there are
      existing uses which expect only RGB values.)

* grid.show.layout() and grid.show.viewport() get an optional vp.ex
      argument.

* There is a new function find_gs_cmd() in the tools package to
      locate a GhostScript executable.  (This is an enhanced version of
      a previously internal function there.)

* object.size() gains a format() method.

* There is a new family, "ArialMT", for the pdf() and postscript()
      devices.  This will only be rendered correctly on viewers which
      have access to Monotype TrueType fonts (which are sometimes
      requested by journals).

* The text and PDF news files, including NEWS and NEWS.2, have been
      moved to the doc directory.

* combn(x, simplify = TRUE) now gives a factor result for factor
      input x (previously user error).  (Related to PR#15442.)

* Added utils::fileSnapshot() and utils::changedFiles() functions
      to allow snapshots and comparison of directories of files.

* make.names(names, unique=TRUE) now tries to preserve existing
      names. (Suggestion of PR#15452.)

* New functions cospi(x), sinpi(x), and tanpi(x), for more accurate
      computation of cos(pi*x), etc, both in R and the C API.  Using
      these gains accuracy in some cases, e.g., inside lgamma() or
      besselI().  (Suggested by Morten Welinder in PR#15529.)
   * print.table(x, zero.print = ".") now also has an effect when x is
      not integer-valued.

* There is more support to explore the system's idea of time-zone
      names.  Sys.timezone() tries to give the current system setting
      by name (and succeeds at least on Linux, OS X, Solaris and
      Windows), and OlsonNames() lists the names in the system's Olson
      database. Sys.timezone(location = FALSE) gives the previous
      behaviour.

* Platforms with a 64-bit time_t type are allowed to handle
      conversions between the "POSIXct" and "POSIXlt" classes for
      date-times outside the 32-bit range (before 1902 or after 2037):
      the existing workarounds are used on other platforms.  (Note that
      time-zone information for post-2037 is speculative at best, and
      the OS services are tested for known errors and so not used on OS
      X.)

Currently time_t is usually long and hence 64-bit on Unix-alike
      64-bit platforms: however it several cases the time-zone database
      is 32-bit.  On R for Windows it is 64-bit (for both architectures
      as from this version).

* The "save.defaults" option can include a value for
      compression_level.  (Wish of PR#15579.)

* colSums() and friends now have support for arrays and data-frame
      columns with 2^31 or more elements.

* as.factor() is faster when f is an unclassed integer vector (for
      example, when called from tapply()).

* fft() now works with longer inputs, from the 12 million
      previously supported up to 2 billion.  (PR#15593)

* Complex svd() now uses LAPACK subroutine ZGESDD, the complex
      analogue of the routine used for the real case.

* Sweave now outputs .tex files in UTF-8 if the input encoding is
      declared to be UTF-8, regardless of the local encoding.  The
      UTF-8 encoding may now be declared using a LaTeX comment
      containing the string %\SweaveUTF8 on a line by itself.

* file.copy() gains a copy.date argument.

* Printing of date-times will make use of the time-zone
      abbreviation in use at the time, if known.  For example, for
      Paris pre-1940 this could be LMT, PMT, WET or WEST.  To enable
      this, the "POSIXlt" class has an optional component "zone"
      recording the abbreviation for each element.

For platforms which support it, there is also a component
      "gmtoff" recording the offset from GMT where known.

* (On Windows, by default on OS X and optionally elsewhere.)  The
      system C function strftime has been replaced by a more
      comprehensive version with closer conformance to the POSIX 2008
      standard.

* dnorm(x, log = FALSE) is more accurate (but somewhat slower) for
      |x| > 5; as suggested in PR#15620.

* Some versions of the tiff() device have further compression
      options.

* read.table(), readLines() and scan() have a new argument to
      influence the treatment of embedded nuls.

* Avoid duplicating the right hand side values in complex
      assignments when possible.  This reduces copying of replacement
      values in expressions such as Z$a <- a0 and ans[[i]] <- tmp: some
      package code has relied on there being copies.

Also, a number of other changes to reduce copying of objects; all
      contributed by or based on suggestions by Michael Lawrence.

* The fast argument of KalmanLike(), KalmanRun() and
      KalmanForecast() has been replaced by update, which instead of
      updating mod in place, optionally returns the updated model in an
      attribute "mod" of the return value.

* arima() and makeARIMA() get a new optional argument SSinit,
      allowing the choice of a different *s*tate *s*pace initialization
      which has been observed to be more reliable close to
      non-stationarity: see PR#14682.
    * warning() has a new argument noBreaks., to simplify
      post-processing of output with options(warn = 1).

* pushBack() gains an argument encoding, to support reading of
      UTF-8 characters using scan(), read.table() and related functions
      in a non-UTF-8 locale.

* all.equal.list() gets a new argument use.names which by default
      labels differing components by names (if they match) rather than
      by integer index.  Saved R output in packages may need to be
      updated.

* The methods for all.equal() and attr.all.equal() now have
      argument check.attributes after ... so it cannot be partially nor
      positionally matched (as it has been, unintentionally).

A side effect is that some previously undetected errors of
      passing empty arguments (no object between commas) to all.equal()
      are detected and reported.

There are explicit checks that check.attributes is logical,
      tolerance is numeric and scale is NULL or numeric.  This catches
      some unintended positional matching.

The message for all.equal.numeric() reports a "scaled difference"
      only for scale != 1.

* all.equal() now has a "POSIXt" method replacing the "POSIXct"
      method.

* The "Date" and "POSIXt" methods of seq() allows by = "quarter"
      for completeness (by = "3 months" always worked).

* file.path() removes any trailing separator on Windows, where they
      are invalid (although sometimes accepted).  This is intended to
      enhance the portability of code written by those using POSIX file
      systems (where a trailing / can be used to confine path matching
      to directories).

* New function agrepl() which like grepl() returns a logical
      vector.

* fifo() is now supported on Windows. (PR#15600)

* sort.list(method = "radix") now allows negative integers (wish of
      PR#15644).

* Some functionality of print.ts() is now available in
      .preformat.ts() for more modularity.

* mcparallel() gains an option detach = TRUE which allows execution
      of code independently of the current session.  It is based on a
      new estranged = TRUE argument to mcfork() which forks child
      processes such that they become independent of the parent
      process.

* The pdf() device omits circles and text at extremely small sizes,
      since some viewers were failing on such files.

* The rightmost break for the "months", "quarters" and "years"
      cases of hist.POSIXlt() has been increased by a day.  (Inter
      alia, fixes PR#15717.)

* The handling of DF[i,] <- a where i is of length 0 is improved.
      (Inter alia, fixes PR#15718.)

* hclust() gains a new method "ward.D2" which implements Ward's
      method correctly.  The previous "ward" method is "ward.D" now,
      with the old name still working.  Thanks to research and
      proposals by Pierre Legendre.

* The sunspot.month dataset has been amended and updated from the
      official source, whereas the sunspots and sunspot.year datasets
      will remain immutable. The documentation and source links have
      been updated correspondingly.

* The summary() method for "lm" fits warns if the fit is
      essentially perfect, as most of the summary may be computed
      inaccurately (and with platform-dependent values).

Programmers who use summary() in order to extract just a
      component which will be reliable (e.g. $cov.unscaled) should wrap
      their calls in suppressWarnings().
  INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:

* The included version of LAPACK has been updated to 3.5.0.

* There is some support for parallel testing of an installation, by
      setting TEST_MC_CORES to an integer greater than one to indicate
      the maximum number of cores to be used in parallel. (It is worth
      specifying at least 8 cores if available.)  Most of these require
      a make program (such as GNU make and dmake) which supports the
      $MAKE -j nproc syntax.

Except on Windows: the tests of standard package examples in make
      check are done in parallel.  This also applies to running
      tools::testInstalledPackages().

The more time-consuming regression tests are done in parallel.

The package checks in make check-devel and make check-recommended
      are done in parallel.

* More of make check will work if recommended packages are not
      installed: but recommended packages remain needed for thorough
      checking of an R build.

* The version of tzcode included in src/extra/tzone has been
      updated.  (Formerly used only on Windows.)

* The included (64-bit) time-zone conversion code and Olson
      time-zone database can be used instead of the system version: use
      configure option --with-internal-tzcode.  This is the default on
      Windows and OS X.  (Note that this does not currently work if a
      non-default rsharedir configure variable is used.)

(It might be necessary to set environment variable TZ on OSes
      where this is not already set, although the system timezone is
      deduced correctly on at least Linux, OS X and Windows.)

This option also switches to the version of strftime included in
      directory src/extra/tzone.

* configure now tests for a C++11-compliant compiler by testing
      some basic features.  This by default tries flags for the
      compiler specified by CXX, but an alternative compiler, options
      and standard can be specified by variables CXX1X, CXX1XFLAGS and
      CXX1XSTD (e.g. -std=gnu++11).

* R can now optionally be compiled to use reference counting
      instead of the NAMED mechanism by defining SWITCH_TO_REFCNT in
      Rinternals.h. This may become the default in the future.

* There is a new option --use-system-tre to use a suitable system
      tre library: at present this means a version from their git
      repository, after corrections.  (Wish of PR#15660.)

- Upstream release 3.0.3
- Most important
  CHANGES IN R 3.0.3:

NEW FEATURES:

* On Windows there is support for making .texi manuals using
      texinfo 5.0 or later: the setting is in file
      src/gnuwin32/MkRules.dist.

A packaging of the Perl script and modules for texinfo 5.2 has
      been made available at <URL:
      http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/>.

* write.table() now handles matrices of 2^31 or more elements, for
      those with large amounts of patience and disc space.

* There is a new function, La_version(), to report the version of
      LAPACK in use.

* The HTML version of 'An Introduction to R' now has links to PNG
      versions of the figures.

* There is some support to produce manuals in ebook formats. (See
      doc/manual/Makefile.  Suggested by Mauro Cavalcanti.)

* On a Unix-alike Sys.timezone() returns NA if the environment
      variable TZ is unset, to distinguish it from an empty string
      which on some OSes means the UTC time zone.

* The backtick may now be escaped in strings, to allow names
      containing them to be constructed, e.g. `\``.  (PR#15621)

* read.table(), readLines() and scan() now warn when an embedded
      nul is found in the input.  (Related to PR#15625 which was
      puzzled by the behaviour in this unsupported case.)

* (Windows only.)  file.symlink() works around the undocumented
      restriction of the Windows system call to backslashes.  (Wish of
      PR#15631.)

* KalmanForecast(fast = FALSE) is now the default, and the help
      contains an example of how fast = TRUE can be used in this
      version.  (The usage will change in 3.1.0.)

* strptime() now checks the locale only when locale-specific
      formats are used and caches the locale in use: this can halve the
      time taken on OSes with slow system functions (e.g. OS X).

* strptime() and the format() methods for classes "POSIXct",
      "POSIXlt" and "Date" recognize strings with marked encodings:
      this allows, for example, UTF-8 French month names to be read on
      (French) Windows.

* iconv(to = "utf8") is now accepted on all platforms (some
      implementations did already, but GNU libiconv did not: however
      converted strings were not marked as being in UTF-8).  The
      official name, "UTF-8" is still preferred.

* available.packages() is better protected against corrupt metadata
      files.  (A recurring problem with Debian package shogun-r:
      PR#14713.)

* Finalizers are marked to be run at garbage collection, but run
      only at a somewhat safer later time (when interrupts are
      checked).  This circumvents some problems with finalizers running
      arbitrary code during garbage collection (the known instances
      being running options() and (C-level) path.expand()
      re-entrantly).

  CHANGES IN R 3.0.2:

NEW FEATURES:

* The NEWS files have been re-organized.

This file contains news for R >= 3.0.0: news for the 0.x.y, 1.x.y
      and 2.x.y releases is in files NEWS.0, NEWS.1 and NEWS.2.  The
      latter files are now installed when R is installed.  An HTML
      version of news from 2.10.0 to 2.15.3 is available as
      doc/html/NEWS.2.html.

* sum() for integer arguments now uses an integer accumulator of at
      least 64 bits and so will be more accurate in the very rare case
      that a cumulative sum exceeds 2^53 (necessarily summing more than
      4 million elements).

* The example() and tools::Rd2ex() functions now have parameters to
      allow them to ignore \dontrun markup in examples.  (Suggested by
      Peter Solymos.)

* str(x) is considerably faster for very large lists, or factors
      with 100,000 levels, the latter as in PR#15337.

* col2rgb() now converts factors to character strings not integer
      codes (suggested by Bryan Hanson).

* tail(warnings()) now works, via the new `[` method.

* There is now support for the LaTeX style file zi4.sty which has
      in some distributions replaced inconsolata.sty.

* unlist(x) now typically returns all non-list xs unchanged, not
      just the "vector" ones.  Consequently, format(lst) now also works
      when the list lst has non-vector elements.

* The tools::getVignetteInfo() function has been added to give
      information about installed vignettes.

* New assertCondition(), etc. utilities in tools, useful for
      testing.

* Profiling now records non-inlined calls from byte-compiled code
      to BUILTIN functions.

* Various functions in stats and elsewhere that use non-standard
      evaluation are now more careful to follow the namespace scoping
     rules.  E.g. stats::lm() can now find stats::model.frame() even
      if stats is not on the search path or if some package defines a
      function of that name.

* If an invalid/corrupt .Random.seed object is encountered in the
      workspace it is ignored with a warning rather than giving an
      error.  (This allows R itself to rely on a working RNG, e.g. to
      choose a random port.)

* seq() and seq.int() give more explicit error messages if called
      with invalid (e.g. NaN) inputs.

* When parse() finds a syntax error, it now makes partial parse
      information available up to the location of the error.  (Request
      of Reijo Sund.)

* Methods invoked by NextMethod() had a different dynamic parent to
      the generic. This was causing trouble where S3 methods invoked
      via lazy evaluation could lose track of their generic.
      (PR#15267)

* Code for the negative binomial distribution now treats the case
      size == 0 as a one-point distribution at zero.

* abbreviate() handles without warning non-ASCII input strings
      which require no abbreviation.

* read.dcf() no longer has a limit of 8191 bytes per line. (Wish of
      PR#15250.)

* formatC(x) no longer copies the class of x to the result, to
      avoid misuse creating invalid objects as in PR#15303.  A warning
      is given if a class is discarded.

* Dataset npk has been copied from MASS to allow more tests to be
      run without recommended packages being installed.

* The initialization of the regression coefficients for
      non-degenerate differenced models in arima() has been changed and
      in some examples avoids a local maximum.  (PR#15396)

* termplot() now has an argument transform.x to control the display
      of individual terms in the plot.  (PR#15329)

* format() now supports digits = 0, to display nsmall decimal
      places.

* There is a new read-only par() parameter called "page", which
      returns a logical value indicating whether the next plot.new()
      call will start a new page.

* Processing Sweave and Rd documents to PDF now renders backticks
      and single quotes better in several instances, including in \code
      and \samp expressions.

* utils::modifyList() gets a new argument keep.null allowing NULL
      components in the replacement to be retained, instead of causing
      corresponding components to be deleted.

* tools::pkgVignettes() gains argument check; if set to TRUE, it
      will warn when it appears a vignette requests a non-existent
      vignette engine.

  CHANGES IN R 3.0.1:

NEW FEATURES:

o chooseCRANmirror() and chooseBioCmirror() gain an ind argument
      (like setRepositories()).

o mcparallel has a new argument mc.interactive which can modify the
      interactive flag in the child process. The new default is FALSE
      which makes child processes non-interactive by default (this
      prevents lock-ups due to children waiting for interactive input).

o scan() now warns when end-of-file occurs within a quoted string.

o count.fields() is now consistent with scan() in its handling of
      newlines in quoted strings.  Instead of triggering an error, this
      results in the current line receiving NA as the field count, with
      the next line getting the total count of the two lines.

o The default method of image() will plot axes of the class of xlim
      and ylim (and hence of x and y if there is a suitable range()
      method).  Based on a suggestion of Michael Sumner.

o load() now has a verbose argument for debugging support, to print
      the names of objects just before loading them.

o When loading a serialized object encounters a reference to a
      namespace which cannot be loaded, this is replaced by a reference
      to the global environment, with a warning.

o pairs() gains a line.main option for title placement.

o The remaining instances in which serialization to a raw vector
      was limited to 2GB have been unlimited on a 64-bit platform, and
      in most cases serialization to a vector of more than 1GB will be
      substantially faster.

- Improved spec file. Lots of commented out lines finally removed

  CHANGES IN R 3.0.0:

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:

o Packages need to be (re-)installed under this version (3.0.0) of
      R.

o There is a subtle change in behaviour for numeric index values
      2^31 and larger.  These never used to be legitimate and so were
      treated as NA, sometimes with a warning.  They are now legal for
      long vectors so there is no longer a warning, and x[2^31] <- y
      will now extend the vector on a 64-bit platform and give an error
      on a 32-bit one.

o It is now possible for 64-bit builds to allocate amounts of
      memory limited only by the OS.  It may be wise to use OS
      facilities (e.g. ulimit in a bash shell, limit in csh), to set
      limits on overall memory consumption of an R process,
      particularly in a multi-user environment.  A number of packages
      need a limit of at least 4GB of virtual memory to load.

64-bit Windows builds of R are by default limited in memory usage
      to the amount of RAM installed: this limit can be changed by
      command-line option --max-mem-size or setting environment
      variable R_MAX_MEM_SIZE.

o Negative numbers for colours are consistently an error:
      previously they were sometimes taken as transparent, sometimes
      mapped into the current palette and sometimes an error.

- Upstream release 2.15.3
- see, as usual, /usr/lib/R/doc/NEWS.html 
- This is mostly a bugfix release and the final release for the
  R-2.x.y series.
- Most important additions:
  NEW FEATURES:
    o lgamma(x) for very small x (in the denormalized range) is no
      longer Inf with a warning.
    o image() now sorts an unsorted breaks vector, with a warning.
    o The internal methods for tar() and untar() do a slightly more
      general job for 'ustar'-style handling of paths of more than 100
      bytes.
    o Packages compiler and parallel have been added to the reference
      index (refman.pdf).
    o untar(tar = "internal") has some support for pax headers as
      produced by e.g. gnutar --posix (which seems prevalent on
      OpenSUSE 12.2) or bsdtar --format pax, including long path and
      link names.
    o sQuote() and dQuote() now handle 0-length inputs.  (Suggestion of
      Ben Bolker.)
    o summaryRprof() returns zero-row data frames rather than throw an
      error if no events are recorded, for consistency.
    o The included version of PCRE has been updated to 8.32.
    o The tcltk namespace can now be re-loaded after unloading.
      The Tcl/Tk event loop is inhibited in a forked child from package
      parallel (as in e.g. mclapply()).
    o parallel::makeCluster() recognizes the value random for the
      environment variable R_PARALLEL_PORT: this chooses a random value
      for the port and reduces the chance of conflicts when multiple
      users start a cluster at the same time.

Mon Feb 13 21:59:13 UTC 2012 - detlef.steuer@gmx.de

- Applications like KDE's Cantor search for the R standard library
- using the library search path. However, in openSUSE's package, 
- libraries are installed to %{_libdir}/R/lib, hence attempts to 
- load them from these applications will fail.
- This revision adds a R.conf file to ld.so.conf.d to enable 
- searching for libraries where R is installed. Once this change
- is in, applications are able to use libR.so.
- Thx to einar@heavensinferno.net for spotting this.
- Thought had done this for release of 2.14.0.
