- upstream update to 3.4.2
CHANGES IN R 3.4.2:
NEW FEATURES:
* Setting the LC_ALL category in Sys.setlocale() invalidates any
cached locale-specific day/month names and the AM/PM indicator
for strptime() (as setting LC_TIME has since R 3.1.0).
* The version of LAPACK included in the sources has been updated to
3.7.1, a bug-fix release.
* The default for tools::write_PACKAGES(rds_compress=) has been
changed to "xz" to match the compression used by CRAN.
* c() and unlist() are now more efficient in constructing the
names(.) of their return value, thanks to a proposal by Suharto
Anggono. (PR#17284)
UTILITIES:
* R CMD check checks for and R CMD build corrects CRLF line endings
in shell scripts configure and cleanup (even on Windows).
INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE:
* The order of selection of OpenMP flags has been changed: Oracle
Developer Studio 12.5 accepts -fopenmp and -xopenmp but only the
latter enables OpenMP so it is now tried first.
BUG FIXES:
* within(List, rm(x1, x2)) works correctly again, including when
List[["x2"]] is NULL.
* regexec(pattern, text, *) now applies as.character(.) to its
first two arguments, as documented.
* write.table() and related functions, writeLines(), and perhaps
other functions writing text to connections did not signal errors
when the writes failed, e.g. due to a disk being full. Errors
will now be signalled if detected during the write, warnings if
detected when the connection is closed. (PR#17243)
