Subject: R genetics package now available
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
The "genetics" package for handling single-locus genetic data is now
available on CRAN in both source and Windows binary formats. The purpose of
this package is to make it easy to create and manipulate genetic
information, and to facility use of this information in statistical models.
The library includes classes and methods for creating, representing, and
manipulating genotypes (unordered allele pairs) and haplotypes (ordered
allele pairs). Genotypes and
haplotypes can be annotated with chromosome, locus, gene, and marker
information. Utility functions compute genotype and allele frequencies, flag
homozygotes or heterozygotes, flag allele carriers
of certain alleles, count the number of a specific allele carried by an
individual, extract one or both alleles, estimate and generate confidence
intervals for measures of single-marker disequlibrium, and test for
departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
The package description file and a simple example are appended below.
Comments and contributions are, of course, welcome.

Subject: updated package "lmtest" 0.9-2
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Dear R users,
there is a new version of the package `lmtest' for testing linear
regression models on CRAN. Except for a couple of minor bug fixes,
there are essentially these new features:
o added Breusch-Godfrey test for serial correlation
(thanks to David M. Mitchell who provided the initial version
of the code for bgtest)
o new data sets:
mandible measurements in fetuses,
US macroecnomic time series
o the Durbin-Watson test dwtest() now takes an alternative
argument. The default is to test for positive autocorrelation
(which was the only option before).
o a vignette, which describes the package. This is a version of an
article that will be published in the forthcoming R News 2(3).
The DESCRIPTION of the package is given below.
Best wishes,
Achim Zeileis

Subject: R 1.2.1 (beta) for Macintosh
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
References: <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <a05001900b68e2542a990@[159.149.74.61]>
Macintosh binaries and sources have been updated to R-1.2.1
You can find them at
http://www.eco-dip.unimi.it/R
Please remember that this is still at a developer stage. Feedback and
interactions with other Macintosh developer is warmly welcome.
Macintosh-specific changes to R
===============================
* help.start() has been implemented. Now R for MacOS calls the
standard HTML browser to visualize the HTML help and manuals.
* getenv() in now working. The .Renviron file is assumed to be in
"etc" directory. Directory "etc" is assumed to contain the history
file, the image session and the environments variables
* a command line has been added. It is possible to specify options as
in the Unix/Win implementations. If you don't want to specify
options, simply type return after starting R aplication.
* InfoZip code has been included in this version. Help files are now
stored in zipped archive to save disk space.
* packages have been recompiled and few other bugs fixed

Unfortunatly, a memory allocation bug prevented the R Commander package from working on Windows. This is fixed in R-patched, but we cannot have this not working in the official release when IT departments start installing for the Fall semester, so we need to issue a new release.
Full schedule is available on developer.r-project.org.

The build system rolled up R-4.0.5.tar.gz (codename "Shake and Throw") this morning.
This is a very minor update, mostly to fix the annoyance with East Asian character sets.
The list below details the changes in this release.
You can get the source code from
https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.0.5.tar.gz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you.
Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.
For the R Core Team,

for creating binary (i.e., 0-1-valued) random variables with
correlation structures by converting multivariate random variables to
binary variables.
The package includes a postscript file of a technical report
describing the method, here's the abstract:
**********************************************************
The generation of random variates from multivariate binary
distributions has not gained as much interest in the literature as,
e.g., multivariate normal or Poisson distributions. Binary variables
are important in many types of applications. Our main interest is in
the segmentation of marketing data, where data come from customer
questionnaires with ``yes/no'' questions. Artificial data provide a
valuable tool for the analysis of segmentation tools, because data
with known structure can be constructed to mimic situations from the
real world (Dolnicar et al. 1998). Questionnaire data can be highly
correlated, when several questions covering the same field are likely
to be answered similarly by a subject. In this paper we present a
computationally fast method to simulate multivariate binary
distributions with a given correlation structure. The implementation
of the algorithm in R, an implementation of the S statistical
language, is described in the appendix.

Subject: R News Volume 2/1
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
We have just published the fourth issue of R News on
http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews
where you can download the newsletter as PDF or postscript file. It
will propagate to the CRAN mirrors within a day or two.
This is the first special issue of R News, with an emphasis on
applying R in medical statistics. It is special in many ways: first,
it took longer to prepare than we had originally antipicated (which
typically seems to happen for special issues). Second, the newsletter
file is rather large as there are many exciting images---in fact, in
trying to keep the size reasonable, in some cases images are only
included at a lower resolution, with the ``real stuff'' available from
the respective authors' web pages. And finally, articles are fewer
but longer: as many of the applications described are based on recent
advances in medical technology, we felt that extra space with
background information was warranted.
Contents:
Reading foreign files
Maximally selected rank statistics in R.
Quality control and early diagnostics for cDNA microarrays.
Bioconductor.
AnalyzeFMRI: An R package for the exploration and analysis of MRI and
fMRI datasets.
Using R for the analysis of DNA microarray data.
Changes in R
Changes on CRAN
which makes a total of 41 pages.

Subject: R 150 for MacOS (Carbon R) released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I have just updated the CRAN with the latest build of R 150.
The archive also contains all the base and recommended packages.
It will be mirrored in a couple of days or so.
Contributed packages will follow in few days.
Stefano M. Iacus
Here the Changes for version 1.5.0
Macintosh-specific changes to R
===============================
rm150
=====
* using dev.off() when a user close a windows instead
of killing directly the device
* changed MPWBuild to take care of changes in the src/include
directory
* fixed a bug with path length (Thanks to T.Lumley)
* fixed a problem with building help files. In particular,
html help files now have correct links
* added system() functionality under MacOS X. When R is
running under MacOS X, it is now possibile to run BSD
shell commands via the system() R command. Very limited
at the moment but working.
* fixed the problem with the error message: "negative length vectors
are not allowed". Now you should not experiment this anymore.
* MacZip not needed anymore.
Note for developers:
--------------------
For the people who want to build R from sources: you should the replace
the file src/macintosh/MPWBuild with the one you find in this prebuilt
distribution of R for Macintosh. See details in the file README_MAC.TXT
inside rm150 folder.

Subject: Notes on Windows binaries of contributed packages
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Announcement for Windows users of R < 1.7.0
and maintainers of contributed packages
[Please do not reply to r-announce!]
Windows users of R < 1.7.0
==========================
[Users of R-1.7.x are not affected.]
In order to clean up the directory structure on CRAN, the Windows binary
version of contributed packages for R < 1.7.0 will be moved from
Your-CRAN-Mirror/bin/windows/contrib
to a subdirectory ./1.6 shortly.
Therefore, install.packages() and friends of R < 1.7.0 won't work
without specifying argument "contriburl" explicitly. Of course, manual
download and installation is possible as well. Note that these packages
are no longer being updated (last update was: 11-Apr-2003).
ReadMe files will be available in the corresponding directories.
It is highly recommended to upgrade to a recent version of R!
Maintainers of contributed packages
===================================
Starting with the first alpha releases of R-1.8.0 (in development), I am
going to make Windows binary versions of contributed packages available
(around September 13) at Your-CRAN-Mirror/bin/windows/contrib/1.8
(currently still linked to the ./1.7 directory).
Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass "Rcmd check"
with "OK" or "WARNING" will *not* be published. This "Status", i.e.
result of "Rcmd check" ("OK", "WARNING", "ERROR"), will be listed in a
file "./1.8/Status". Corresponding check.log will be available in
subdirectory ./1.8/check.
For details, please read the ReadMe (to appear).
Best regards,
Uwe Ligges

Subject: R-0.62.1
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Due to a glitch with the CVS version management software (quite likely
my own fault), R-0.62.0 got shipped without the "tests" directory.
Apart from preventing "make tests" from working, it also has untoward
consequences for "make clean" and the like.
So there's an updated version in R-0.62.1.tgz in the usual places.
For good measure, there's also a patch file.

Subject: R-1.1.1 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I've rolled up R-1.1.1.tgz a moment ago.
This is expected to be the last release in the 1.1 series unless some
truly dreadful error pops up. The 1.2.0 release is scheduled for early
December.
You can get it from
ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.1.1.tgz
or
http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.1.1.tgz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two.
There's also a version split in three for floppies and a patch file if
you prefer that.
For the R Core Team,
Peter D.
Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file:
NEW FEATURES
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 Improved detection of Tcl/Tk at configure time. One can either
set configure variables TCLTK_CPPFLAGS and TCLTK_LIBS, or give
the locations of the tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh scripts via
the `--with-tcl-config' and `--with-tk-config' arguments.
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
BUG FIXES
o data() now works correctly with data-only packages.
o Standalone Mathlib can now be made if builddir = srcdir
(working around an undocumented autoconf `feature').
o Check for pre-1.1.0 saved object .Postscript.options in postscript().
o More stringent checks on the arguments to dataentry().
o Specifying xlab as an expression now works again.
o dev2bitmap() works again.
o Numerous uses of `F' and `T' replaced by `FALSE' and `TRUE'.
o bxp() now extends `ylim' properly when notch=TRUE (and a
notch is more extreme than other stats).
Also, varwidth is okay again, see example(split).
o Making manuals without making R first now works.
o princomp() now works when some eigenvalues are tiny negative
values (which are treated as zero).
o SearchEngine.html was not installed when builddir != srcdir.
o lm.{w}fit(x,y,..) now work when x has no column names.
These functions no longer add and subtract n zeros when there's no
offset. They are now documented somewhat.
o Some HTML files used src="R.css" instead of href="R.css"
causing some browsers to ignore the style sheet. R.css now
passes the w3c CSS validator and gives the intended results
with Internet Explorer. R.css is copied to all library directories.
o The data editor no longer crashes when entries contain more than
45 characters, and works correctly if the field width is
larger than the window width.
o Recording plots used to ignore graphics events before the last
replay.
o plot(), points(), etc now give warnings and error for invalid
`type' arguments.
o matplot() now allows the same `type's as plot().
o dev.print() and dev.copy2eps() now work when called from a
function, such as dev2bitmap().
o anova.glmlist works correctly with decreasing models and
test="F" now gets the correct residual df.
o Functions created (not just edited) with fix() now get
environment .GlobalEnv not the body of fix.
o Rdconv was ignoring OS-specific parts of the files with some
Perl versions. (This did not affect installing packages.)
o R CMD check did not run more than one specific test.
o keyword2html omitted items when changing up a level, so
the HTML search engine keyword list was missing `data' and
`utilities', for example.
o aov() with multiple strata was setting some spurious options.
o Under UNIX, help(, htmlhelp=TRUE) uses the linked copy of the
HTML file in ~/.R if help.start() has been run recently in the
session, so the style sheet and hyperlinks should now be found.
o dotplot's arguments `color' and `lcolor' are now interpreted
correctly if they are vectors of length > 1. (It is not clear
from the help that this was ever intended.)
o Error messages of e.g. do.call() are now spaced properly.
o summary(.matrix | .data.frame) now respects a `digits' argument.
o scan() recognises quoted strings by default again. The default
for the quote= argument got set wrongly when it was
introduced. They are, however, turned off when using sep="\n",
since you probably want unprocessed lines of text in that
case.
o fixed buglet where scan() would double a character following a
terminating quote symbol.
o kmeans was failing on vector inputs (although not documented
to accept such).
o fixes in predict.lm (John Maindonald)
o NCOL got confused by 1D arrays, which it now reports have 1
column rather than NA.
o rep(1:2,c(1,-1)) segfaulted (PR 619)
o x[["a"]] <- y rejected some object types for y (e.g.
expressions) which were accepted in x$a <- y (PR
o data editor froze on empty data frame, and more generally on
zero-length cols.
o data editor did not handle factors properly in numeric-edit
mode.
o table() misbehaved on empty (or all-NA) data
o data editor now handles empty data frames, allowing data entry
to begin with dd<-edit(data.frame()) or
dd<-data.frame() ; fix(dd)
o plotting math expressions when specified as a LANGSXP or
SYMSXP didn't work in several cases: plot(1,main=quote(a))
would segfault and there were problems with title(), text(),
and mtext() as well.
o optim(): no more segfault for REPORT=0; corrected error msg; ..
maxit default is now okay also when "L-*-B" is chosen automatically.
Using (abs|rel)tol with that method now gives a warning.
o text() did not respect its `xpd' argument, the default of which
is still to use par("xpd"); gave a wrong error message in one case.
o polygon() had an incorrect documentation and silently disregarded
"..." arguments.
o predict.loess was giving incorrect results (those for the
non-robust fit) in the case of a fit with family = "symmetric"
and surface = "direct" and prediction with se = FALSE. The
fitted values were missing for such fits.
o Better rendering of ^ and ~ in latex in \code{} (and they should
not appear outside code and verbatim sections).
o Fixed unterminated string problem with lty (PR 584)
o Fixed scoping problem with quasi() family (PR 614)

Subject: Rcmdr version 2.0-0 now on CRAN
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Dear R-help list members,
Version 2.0-0 of the Rcmdr package is now on CRAN and should appear
presently on the various CRAN mirrors. As its number implies, this version
represents a milestone in the development of the package, which first
appeared on CRAN more than 10 years ago. The transition to version 2.0-0
reflects both substantial upgrades to the Rcmdr interface in the new release
(see the release notes below) as well as accumulated changes in recent
versions. Of particular note beyond the interface improvements is the
integration of HTML and PDF report generation via the knitr and markdown
packages.
>From the package NEWS file:
Changes to Version 2.0-0
o New package co-author: Milan Bouchet-Valet.
o Many changes to style of dialogs: tabs, Reset button, Apply button,
small interface improvements.
o Support for R Markdown, with script and Rmd tabs.
o Expanded Options dialog and new Save Options dialog.
o Better handling of default fonts.
o Improved probability plots.
o Introduced plotDistr(), lineplot(), indexplot() convenience functions.
o New nonparametric density estimate dialog.
o Use automatic point identification as default in plot dialogs.
o Calls to deprecated functions .find.package() and .path.package()
replaced by find.package() and path.package() (suggestion of Brian Ripley).
o Partial correlations now optionally report pairwise p-values (suggestion
of Aaron Swink).
o Removed Sciviews support code.
o Small fixes.
o Updated translations (with thanks to the translators): Italian (Stefano
Calza), Korean (Jong-Hwa Shin), Romanian (Adrian Dusa), Russian (Alexey
Shipunov), Spanish (Manuel Munoz-Marquez).
o Show menu item for English introductory manual even if a "translation"
is available (suggestion of Manuel Munoz-Marquez).
As usual, please report bugs or problems to jfox at mcmaster.ca. Comments and
suggestions are also appreciated.
Best,
John and Milan

Subject: R 2.15.3 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
The build system rolled up R-2.15.3.tar.gz (codename "Security Blanket") at 9:00 this morning. This is intended to be the final round-up release of the 2.15 series, and in fact of the entire 2.x.y series which started 2004-10-04.
The list below details the changes in this release.
You can get the source code from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.15.3.tar.gz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you.
Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.

CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.15.3:
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.
UTILITIES:
o The default for TAR on Windows for R CMD build has been changed
to be internal if no tar command is on the path.
This enables most packages to be built 'out of the box' without
Rtools: the main exceptions are those which need to be installed
to re-build vignettes and need Rtools for installation (usually
because they contain compiled code).
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
o On a 64-bit Windows platform with enough RAM, R_alloc can now
allocate up to just under 32GB like other 64-bit platforms.
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
o Use of col2rgb(0) is deprecated (see the help page for its
limitations).
o The deprecated intensities component returned by hist() is no
longer recognized by the plot() method and will be removed in R
3.0.0.
o real(), as.real() and is.real() are now formally deprecated and
give a warning.
o This is formal notice that the non-API EISPACK entry points in R
will be removed shortly.
INSTALLATION:
o The configure tests for Objective C and Objective C++ now work on
Mac OS 10.8 with Xcode 4.5.2 (PR#15107).
o The cairo-based versions of X11() now work with current versions
of cairographics (e.g. 1.12.10). (PR#15168)
A workaround for earlier versions of R is to use X11.options(type
= "nbcairo").
o Configuration and R CMD javareconf now come up with a smaller set
of library paths for Java on Oracle-format JDK (including
OpenJDK). This helps avoid conflicts between libraries (such as
libjpeg) supplied in the JDK and system libraries. This can
always be overridden if needed: see the 'R Installation and
Administration' manual.
BUG FIXES:
o beta(a, b) could overflow to infinity in its calculations when
one of a and b was less than one. (PR#15075)
o lbeta(a, b) no longer gives NaN if a or b is very small (in the
denormalized range).
o bquote() is now able to substitute default arguments in
single-argument functions. (PR#15077)
o browseEnv(html = FALSE) would segfault if called from R (not
R.app) on a CRAN-style Mac OS X build of R.
o [[<- for lists (generic vectors) needed to increment NAMED count
when RHS is used more than once. (PR#15098)
o On Windows, warnings about opening a file or pipe with a
non-ASCII description were sometimes output in UTF-8 rather than
in the current locale's character set.
o The call() function did not duplicate its arguments. (PR#15115)
o TukeyHSD() could give NA results with some na.action methods such
as na.exclude(). (Hinted at on R-help by John Fox.)
o The deprecated svd(X, LINPACK = TRUE) could alter X in R
2.15.[12]. (Reported by Bill Dunlap.)
o Under Windows, file.link() and file.symlink() used the link name
twice, so would always fail. (Reported by Rui Barradas/Oliver
Soong).
o summaryRprof(memory = "both") mixed up the units of Vcells and
Ncells: it now works in bytes. (PR#15138)
o tools::Rd2HTML() would sometimes delete text. (PR#15134)
o plot() failed for "table" objects containing just one entry.
(PR#15118)
o embedFonts() needed to quote some filepaths. (PR#15149)
o parallel::mccollect() handled NULL returns incorrectly (removing
the element rather than setting it to NULL).
o The full reference index (fullrefman.pdf) was missing packages
compiler and parallel.
o The report for optim(method = "L-BFGS-B", control = list(trace =
1)) reported the last completed and not the current iteration,
unlike other methods and trace levels. (PR#15103)
o qt(1e-12, 1.2) no longer gives NaN.
o dt(1e160, 1.2, log=TRUE) no longer gives -Inf.
o On Windows the untar() function now quotes the directory name
when using an external tar utility, so R CMD check will handle
pathnames containing spaces.
o The version for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 is now
displayed by win.version(). (Reported by Gabor Grothendieck.)
o The custom Windows installer target myR in the installer Makefile
did not work in 2.15.2. (Reported by Erich Neuwirth.)
o aperm(matrix(1:6, 2, dimnames=list(A={}, B={})), "A") no longer
segfaults.
o Expressions involving user defined operators were not always
deparsed faithfully. (PR#15179)
o The enc2utf8() function converted NA_character_ to "NA" in
non-UTF-8 locales. (PR#15201)
o The exclude argument to xtabs() was ignored for "factor"
arguments.
o On Windows, work around an event-timing problem when the RGui
console was closed from the 'X' control and the closure
cancelled. (This would on some 64-bit systems crash R, typically
those with a slow GPU relative to the CPU.)
o On unix Rscript will pass the r_arch setting it was compiled with
on to the R process so that the architecture of Rscript and that
of R will match unless overridden.

Subject: R 0.90.0 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I've rolled up R-0.90.0.tgz a moment ago. The jump in version number
indicates that we are approaching version 1.0, more than a "quantum
leap" in functionality.
You can get it from (notice that we have changed servers in Wisconsin
with much better availability and new names)
ftp://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-0.90.0.tgz
or
http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-0.90.0.tgz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you within a day or two.
There's also a version split in two for floppies if you prefer that.
For the R Core Team,
Peter D.
Here is the relevant part of the NEWS file:
**************************************************
* *
* 0.90 SERIES NEWS *
* *
**************************************************
NEW FEATURES
o packages splines (for regression smoothing splines or
interpolating splines) and nls (nonlinear least squares) are
part of the base distribution.
o New error handling using
options ( error = expression(..) , warning.expr = ... ).
REPLACING version 0.65.1's options(error.halt = T/F)
o collected warnings before an error are no longer lost but
are printed after the error message (unless the error makes
this impossible).
o A couple of substantial graphics changes, esp. in the X11
driver. The scaling of symbols is now linear in cex=, rather
than being tied to the available font's size. The fonts on an
X11 device also scale linearly with cex= insofar as your X
server can do it. On systems with the scalable type 1
PostScript fonts installed, this looks particularly nice. Note
that the scaling is linear in the *diameter*, but quadratic in
area. The distance between lines of margin text in the X11
device is now proportional to the size given to
x11(pointsize).
o abline(a,b) now (again) refers to transformed coordinates on
plots with log-axes, so that abline(lm(log10(y)~log10(x)))
(say) draws a best-fitting line on a log-log plot. The earlier
convention (to draw a curve representing a line in original
coordinates) is available using a new untf= argument.
o barplot.default() has new `axisnames' (and `sub') arguments, easily
allowing suppression of bar labeling.
o cbind() and rbind() now actually do what deparse.level=1 implies:
add column/row names based on the deparsed argument, provided it
is a simple symbol. The behaviour is still hardcoded, though.
o gc() now reports the total sizes in Mb as well as numbers.
o New function help.search() for searching the names, titles,
aliases, or keywords in the help system.
o image() allows x and y to specify either the boundaries or the
midpoints of the cells. If the latter, the whole cells are
drawn, rather than the outer cells being half-sized as previously.
o NULL extra arguments to model.frame() are now treated as missing
(instead of an error).
o optimization with nlm() can use analytic gradients and Hessians
if they are supplied.
o on.exit() allows add=TRUE.
o function parse.dcf() for parsing files in debian control file format
(DESCRIPTION, CONTENTS, ...)
o predict.{g}lm has a type="terms" option, and residual.glm has
type="partial" as a step towards plot.gam().
o New arguments to q() and quit() allow the exit status to be set
and the execution of .Last() to be skipped.
o New function regexpr(), similar to grep but returns the position
of the match in each string. (For S-PLUS compatibility.)
o scan() now supports complex numbers.
o New function sort.list, for S compatibility. (This has argument
partial, but always sorts completely.)
o storage.mode<- can be used to set "single", and if setting
anything other than "single" it removes the "Csingle" attribute.
o new function sunflowerplot().
o New function undoc() for listing undocumented objects.
o User's .Rprofile now executes in global environment
o All HTML pages now use the new style sheet doc/html/R.css
o html and text files have now a header line giving the name of
the help file and the package. The description section now
comes first.
o All the standard packages have DESCRIPTION files with
"Priority: base", so installed.packages and
package.description will work with them.
o The R-external manual which describes programming for the
.Call and .External interfaces is in the doc/manual directory.
o New target `make pdf' in doc/manuals makes hyperlinked PDF
documentation. (This is experimental for this release. See
doc/manual/README for further details.)
o S.h now contains (via Rdefines.h) a MESSAGE macro, and
Free NULLs the pointer, for compatibility with S3 (but not S4).
o New subroutine REALPR callable from Fortran (like DBLEPR but
for real arguments): useful if as.single is in use.
o The cex= argument to plot() etc. can be a vector, like pch=.
o lty=0 now (again) makes lines invisible. Looks better for
barplot label axis.
o zero.R tries to find the zero DLL in a system-independent way.
BUG FIXES
o apply should now work for all un-dimnamed arrays (PR#318).
o ar(..., demean=F) works more consistently across methods.
o barplot() had lower limits set at -0.01, causing trouble with
small heights. Switch to relative scale. (Thanks to Matt Wiener)
o density() should work better with NAs and infinite values. See
?density for the current definitions of how these are handled.
o diag(x) now works (as pre 0.65.1) for 1-d arrays.
o Stored-source was dropped by dump().
o expand.grid returns a data frame even for one arg.
o expand.grid(x) now also works for vector arguments x.
o factor(list()) or factor(character(0)) *is* now a factor
with valid levels(.);
ordered does NOT allow an `ordered' argument anymore
and is now defined as trivial call to factor.
o help page for gc gives correct size of cons cells (20 bytes
for 32-bit systems, 36 or more for 64-bit systems).
o gcinfo reports correct percentages of heap even for vsize > 200M.
o gl(6,3,12) and gl(6,3,2) now both work.
o Empty lists now deparse correctly.
o na.omit.ts and na.contiguous preserve classes.
o plot.factor {plot(<factor>)} now obeys axes=FALSE and xaxt="n".
o read.table(as.is = TRUE) would leave everything as character.
Now it correctly tries to convert to numeric.
o require() now has the warn.conflicts argument of library().
o Fix problems in scan(flush = TRUE).
o scan() got confused by trailing whitespace.
o split(x,f) now works even when f is a factor with unused levels
(PR#294).
o mosaicplot() has a formula interface and
NULL instead of NA default args.
o stars() has "NULL" instead of "NA" defaults.
o str() is quite a bit nicer with factors.
o ts.union, cbind.ts, arithmetic on ts objects now allow
non-integer frequencies.
o Switch to <tt> in HTML pages since Linux Netscape mangles
Courier.
o When documentation is "compiled" (build-help), you now get warnings
for multiple (conflicting) \alias{.} or \name{.}s.
o making the reference manual with `make dvi' copes better with
isolatin1 characters (but not perfectly as these are not in
standard TeX fonts).
o Rd.sty now uses standard LaTeX constructs like \bm for bold
math and \url for URLs.
o Protect R_fopen against NULL filename in Unix.
o Math text in outer margins didn't work.
o Text clipping now works in the X11 device.
o Pixel rows sometimes got doubled in rotated text on the X11 device.
o par("yaxt") is now ok.
o Problems with realloc on some systems in AllocBuffer.
o Problem with formatReal on non-IEEE systems.
o demos/dynload/Makefile used macros that gave incorrect build
on some non-GNU makes.
o Windows version copes better with paths with spaces in.
o R CMD check had a typo which made the final message fail.
o R_EOF redefined as -1, was causing trouble with isxxxx contructions.

Subject: R Participation in the Google Summer of Code 2010
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Dear R Users,
We would like to highlight that R has once again been selected to participate
in the Google Summer of Code. Suggested projects can be found in the R-Wiki:
http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2010. The GSoC
is a program from Google that offers student developers stipends to write
code for various open source software projects (more information can be found
here: http://code.google.com/soc/).
All discussion related to R and the Google Summer of Code should preferably
tak place on the respective google group:
http://groups.google.com/group/gsoc-r (gsoc-r at googlegroups.com).
We are currently in a time period during which interested students can
discuss an idea from the wiki with the respective project mentor, or contact
the gsoc-r group to propose a new one and find a mentor. Please note that
some projects on the R-Wiki also provide test questions, so please read these
pages thoroughly before contacting a project mentor. The student application
period opens on March 29th.

Subject: R-2.2.0 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I've rolled up R-2.2.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This version contains
several changes and additions, mostly incremental. See the full list
of changes below.
You can get it from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.2.0.tar.gz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries
for various platforms will appear in due course.
There is also a version split for floppies.

Here is the relevant bit of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.2.0
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o plot(<lm object>) uses a new default 'which = 5'
for the fourth panel when 'which' is not specified.
o The SVN revision number will appear after the date in the
welcome message. The date shown is now the date of the last
change to the sources rather than the date the sources were
prepared.
o is.null(expression()) now returns FALSE. Only NULL gives TRUE
in is.null().
o graphics::xy.coords, xyz.coords and n2mfrow have been moved to
the grDevices name space (to be available for grid as well).
graphics::boxplot.stats, contourLines, nclass.*, and chull
have been moved to the grDevices name space. The C code
underlying chull() has been moved to package grDevices.
o split(x, f), split<-() and unsplit() now by default split by all
levels of a factor f, even when some are empty.
Use split(x, f, drop = TRUE) if you want the old behavior of
dropping empty levels. split() and split<-() are S3 generic
functions with new arguments 'drop' and '...' and all methods now
should have 'drop' and '...' arguments as well.
o The default for 'allowEscapes' in both read.table() and scan()
has been changed to FALSE.
o The default for 'gcFirst' in system.time() is now TRUE.
NEW FEATURES
o .Platform has a new component 'path.sep', the separator used
between paths in environment variables such as PATH and TEXINPUTS.
o anova.mlm() now handles the single-model case.
o Hexadecimal values are now allowed for as.numeric() and
as.integer() on all platforms, and as integer constants in R code.
o attach() now prints an information message when objects are
masked on the search path by or from a newly attached database.
o axis() now returns 'at' positions.
o axis() has a new argument 'hadj' to control horizontal
adjustment of labels.
o axis.Date() and axis.POSIXct() now accept a 'labels' argument
(contributed by Gavin Simpson).
o barplot() now has arguments 'log = ""' and 'add = FALSE'
(as in barplot2() from package 'gplots').
o baseenv() has been added, to return the base environment. This
is currently still NULL, but will change in a future release.
o boxplot() now responds to supplying 'yaxs' (via bxp()).
(Wish of PR#8072.)
o capabilities() has a new component 'NLS'.
o cbind() and rbind() now react to 'deparse.level' = {0,1,2}
(as in another system not unlike R).
o Experimental versions of cbind() and rbind() in methods package,
based on new generic function cbind2(x,y) and rbind2(). This will
allow the equivalent of S4 methods for cbind() and rbind() ---
currently only after an explicit activation call, see ?cbind2.
o New functions cdplot() and spineplot() for conditional density
plots and spine plots or spinograms. Spine plots are now used
instead of bar plots for x-y scatterplots where y is a factor.
o checkDocFiles() in package 'tools' now checks for bad \usage
lines (syntactically invalid R code).
o The nonparametric variants of cor.test() now behave better in
the presence of ties. The "spearman" method uses the asymptotic
approximation in that case, and the "kendall" method likewise,
but adds a correction for ties (this is not necessary in the
Spearman case).
o The X11 dataentry() now has support for X Input Methods
(contributed by Ei-ji Nakama).
o density() is now an S3 generic where density.default() {former
density()} has new argument 'weights' for specifying observation
masses different than the default 1/N -- based on a suggestion and
code from Adrian Baddeley.
o download.packages() now carries on if it encounters a download
error (e.g. a repository with a corrupt index).
o dump() now skips missing objects with a warning rather than
throw an error.
o Added "POSIXlt" methods for duplicated() and unique().
o Function encoded_text_to_latex() in package tools translates
Latin 1,2,9 and UTF-8 encoded character vectors to LaTeX
escape sequences where appropriate.
o encodeString() allows justify = "none" for consistency with
format.default(). Some argument names have been lengthened
for clarity.
o file(), fifo() and pipe() now (if possible) report a reason
if they fail to open a connection.
o format.default() now has a 'width' argument, and 'justify' can
now centre character strings.
format.default() has new arguments 'na.encode' to control
whether NA character strings are encoded (true by default),
and 'scientific' to control the use of fixed/scientific
notation for real/complex numbers.
How format() works on a list is now documented, and uses
arguments consistently with their usage on an atomic vector.
o format.info() now has a 'digits' argument, and is documented
to work for all atomic vectors (it used to work for all but
raw vectors.).
o New function glob2rx() for translating `wildcard' aka `globbing'
to regular expressions.
o There is a new function gregexpr() which generalizes regexpr()
to search for all matches in each of the input strings (not
just the first match).
o [g]sub() now have a 'useBytes' argument like grep() and regexpr().
o [g]sub(perl = TRUE) support \L and \U in the replacement.
o iconv() has been moved from 'utils' to 'base'.
o identify()'s default method has additional arguments 'atpen'
and 'tolerance' (following S).
o KalmanForecast() and KalmanLike() now have an optional argument
fast=FALSE to prevent their arguments being modified.
o Exact p-values are available in ks.test() for the one-sided and
two-sided one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.
o labels() now has a method for "dist" objects (replacing that
for names() which was withdrawn in 2.1.0).
o library() now explicitly checks for the existence of
directories in 'lib.loc': this avoids some warning messages.
o loadNamespace(keep.source=) now applies only to that namespace
and not others it might load to satisfy imports: this is now
consistent with library().
o match.arg() has a new argument 'several.ok = FALSE'.
o max.col() has a new argument for non-random behavior in the
case of ties.
o memory.profile() now uses the type names returned by typeof()
and no longer has two unlabelled entries.
o methods() now warns if it appears to have been called on a
non-generic function.
o The default mosaicplot() method by default draws grey boxes.
o nlminb(), similar to that in S-PLUS, added to package 'stats'.
o New algorithm "port" (the nl2sol algorithm available in the
Port library on netlib) added to the nls() function in the
'stats' package.
o object.size() now supports more types, including external
pointers and weak references.
o options() now returns its result in alphabetical order, and is
documented more comprehensively and accurately. (Now all
options used in base R are documented, including
platform-specific ones.)
Some options are now set in the package which makes use of
them (grDevices, stats or utils) if not already set when the
package is loaded.
o New option("OutDec") to set the decimal point for output conversions.
o New option("add.smooth") to add smoothers to a plot, currently
only used by plot.lm().
o pie() has new optional arguments 'clockwise' and 'init.angle'.
o plot.lm() has two new plots (for 'which' = 5 or 6), plotting
residuals or cook distances versus (transformed) leverages - unless
these are constant. Further, the new argument 'add.smooth' adds a
loess smoother to the point plots by default, and 'qqline = TRUE'
adds a qqline() to the normal plot.
The default for 'sub.caption' has been improved for long calls.
o R.home() has been expanded to return the paths to components
(which can as from this version be installed elsewhere).
o readbin() and writeBin() now support raw vectors as well as
filenames and connections.
o read.dcf() can now read gzipped files.
o read.table() now passes 'allowEscapes' to scan().
o sample(x, size, prob, replace = TRUE) now uses a faster
algorithm if there are many reasonably probable values. (This
does mean the results will be different from earlier versions
of R.) The speedup is modest unless 'x' is very large _and_
'prob' is very diffuse so that thousands of distinct values
will be generated with an appreciable frequency.
o scatter.smooth() now works a bit more like other plotting
functions (e.g., accepts a data frame for argument 'x').
Improvements suggested by Kevin Wright.
o signif() on complex numbers now rounds jointly to give the
requested number of digits in the larger component, not
independently for each component.
o New generic function simulate() in the 'stats' package with
methods for some classes of fitted models.
o smooth.spline() has a new argument 'keep.data' which allows to
provide residuals() and fitted() methods for smoothing splines.
o Attempting source(file, chdir=TRUE) with a URL or connection
for 'file' now gives a warning and ignores 'chdir'.
o source() closes its input file after parsing it rather than
after executing the commands, as used to happen prior to
2.1.0. (This is probably only significant on Windows where
the file is locked for a much shorter time.)
o split(), split<-(), unsplit() now have a new argument 'drop = FALSE',
by default not dropping empty levels; this is *not* back compatible.
o sprintf() now supports asterisk `*' width or precision
specification (but not both) as well as `*1$' to `*99$'. Also the
handling of `%' as conversion specification terminator is now
left to the system and doesn't affect following specifications.
o The plot method for stl() now allows the colour of the range
bars to be set (default unchanged at "light gray").
o Added tclServiceMode() function to the tcltk package to allow
updating to be suspended.
o terms.formula() no longer allows '.' in a formula unless there
is a (non-empty) 'data' argument or 'allowDotAsName = TRUE' is
supplied. We have found several cases where 'data' had not
been passed down to terms() and so '.' was interpreted as a
single variable leading to incorrect results.
o New functions trans3d(), the 3D -> 2D utility from persp()'s
example, and extendrange(), both in package 'grDevices'.
o TukeyHSD() now returns p-values adjusted for multiple comparisons
(based on a patch contributed by Fernando Henrique Ferraz P. da Rosa).
o New functions URLencode() and URLdecode(), particularly for use
with file:// URLs. These are used by e.g. browse.env(),
download.file(), download.packages() and various help() print
methods.
o Functions utf8ToInt() and intToUtf8() to work with UTF-8
encoded character strings (irrespective of locale or OS-level
UTF-8 support).
o [dqp]wilcox and wilcox.test work better with one very large sample
size and an extreme first argument.
o write() has a new argument 'sep'.
o write.csv[2] now also support row.names = FALSE.
o The specification of the substitutions done when processing
Renviron files is more liberal: see ?Startup. It now
accepts forms like R_LIBS=${HOME}/Rlibrary:${WORKGRP}/R/lib .
o Added recommendation that packages have an overview man page
<pkg>-package.Rd, and the promptPackage() function to create a
skeleton version.
o Replacement indexing of a data frame by a logical matrix index
containing NAs is allowed in a few more cases, in particular
always when the replacement value has length one.
o Conversion of .Rd files to latex now handles encoding more
comprehensively, including some support for UTF-8.
o The internal regex code has been upgraded to glibc-2.3.5.
Apart from a number of bug fixes, this should be somewhat
faster, especially in UTF-8 locales.
o PCRE has been updated to version 6.2.
o zlib has been updated to version 1.2.3.
o bzip2 has been updated to version 1.0.3.
o Complex arithmetic is now done by C99 complex types where
supported. This is likely to boost performance, but is
subject to the accuracy with which it has been implemented.
o The printing of complex numbers has changed, handling numbers
as a whole rather than in two parts. So both real and
imaginary parts are shown to the same accuracy, with the
'digits' parameter referring to the accuracy of the larger
component, and both components are shown in fixed or
scientific notation (unless one is entirely zero when it is
always shown in fixed notation).
o Error messages from .C() and .Fortran(), and from parsing errors,
are now more informative.
o The date and date-time functions work better with dates more
than 5000 years away from 1970-01-01 (by making dubious
assumptions about the calendar in use).
o There is now a traditional Chinese translation, and a much more
extensive Russian translation.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o Capability "IEEE754" is defunct.
o loadURL() is defunct: use load(url()).
o delay() is defunct: use delayedAssign() instead.
o The 'CRAN' argument to update.packages(), old.packages(),
new.packages(), download.packages() and install.packages() is
defunct in favour of 'repos'.
o write.table0() is deprecated in favour of the much faster
write.table().
o format.char() is deprecated in favour of format.default().
o R_HOME/etc/Rprofile is no longer looked for if
R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site does not exist. (This has been
undocumented since R 1.4.0.)
o CRAN.packages() is deprecated in favour of available.packages().
o Rd.sty no longer processes pre-2.0.0 conversions containing \Link.
o The stubs for the defunct device GNOME/gnome have been removed.
o print.matrix() (which has been identical to print.default since
R 1.7.0) has been removed.
INSTALLATION
o LDFLAGS now defaults to -L/usr/local/lib64 on most Linux
64-bit OSes (but not ia64). The use of lib/lib64 can be
overridden by the new variable LIBnn.
o The default installation directory is now ${prefix}/${LIBnn}/R,
/usr/local/lib64/R on most 64-bit Linux OSes and /usr/local/lib/R
elsewhere.
o The places where the doc, include and share directory trees are
installed can be specified independently: see the R-admin manual.
o We now test for wctrans_t, as apparently some broken OSes have
wctrans but not wctrans_t (which is required by the relevant
standards) .
o Any external BLAS found is now tested to see if the complex
routine zdotu works correctly: this provides a compatibility
test of compiler return conventions.
o Installation without NLS is now cleaner, and does not install
any message catalogues.
o src/modules/lapack/dlamc.f is now compiled with -ffloat-store
if f2c/gcc are used, as well as if g77 is used.
o All the Fortran code has been checked to be fully F77
compliant so there are no longer any warnings from F95
compilers such as gfortran.
o The (not-recommended) options --with-system-zlib,
--with-system-bzlib and -with-system-pcre now have 'system' in
the name.
o If a Java runtime environment is detected at configure time
its library path is appended to LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.
New Java-related variables JAVA_HOME (path to JRE/JDK), JAVA_PROG
(path to Java interpreter), JAVA_LD_PATH (Java library path)
and JAVA_LIBS (flags to link against JNI) are made available
in Makeconf.
o Ei-ji Nakama was contributed a patch for FPU control with the
Intel compilers on ix86 Linux.
MAC OS X INSTALLATION
o --with-blas="-framework vecLib" --with-lapack and
--with-aqua are now the default configure options.
o The default framework version name was changed to not contain
the patch level (i.e. it is now 2.2 instead of 2.2.0). Also
it can be overridden at configure time by setting FW_VERSION
to the desired name.
o The Rmath stand-alone library is now correctly installed inside
the R.framework if R was configured as a framework. In
addition, make install-Rmath-framework will install a
stand-alone Rmath framework in /Library/Frameworks (unless
overridden by RMATH_FRAMEWORK_DIR specifying full framework
path and name including the .framework extension).
PACKAGE INSTALLATION
o The encoding for a packages' 00Index.html is chosen from the
Encoding: field (if any) of the DESCRIPTION file and from the
\encoding{} fields of any Rd files with non-ASCII titles.
If there are conflicts, first-found wins with a warning.
o R_HOME/doc/html/packages.html is now remade by R not Perl code.
This may result in small changes in layout and a change in
encoding (to UTF-8 where supported).
o The return value of new.packages() is now updated for any
packages which may be installed.
o available.packages() will read a compressed PACKAGES.gz file in
preference to PACKAGES if available on the repository: this
will reduce considerably the download time on a dialup connection.
The downloaded information about a repository is cached for the
current R session.
o The information about library trees found by
installed.packages() is cached for the current session, and
updated only if the modification date of the top-level
directory has been changed.
o A data index is now installed for a package with a 'data' dir
but no 'man' dir (even though it will have undocumented data objects).
o contrib.url path for type="mac.binary" has changed from
bin/macosx/<version> to bin/macosx/<arch>/contrib/<version>
where <arch> corresponds to R.version$arch
UTILITIES
o checkFF() used by R CMD check has since R 2.0.0 not reported
missing PACKAGE arguments when testing installed packages with
namespaces. It now
- treats installed and source packages in the same way.
- reports missing arguments unless they are in a function in
the namespace with a useDynLib declaration (as the
appropriate DLL for such calls can be searched for).
o Rd2dvi sets the encoding(s) used appropriately. If UTF-8
encoding is used, latex >= 2003/12/01 is required.
o codoc() allows help files named pkg_name-defunct.Rd to have
undocumented arguments (and not just base-defunct.Rd).
C-LEVEL FACILITIES
o C function massdist() {called from density()} has new argument
'xmass' (= weights).
o Raw vectors passed to .C() are now passed as unsigned char *
rather than as SEXPs. (Wish of Keith Frost, PR#7853)
o The search for symbols in a .C/.Call/... call without a
package argument now searches for an enclosing namespace and
so finds functions defined within functions in a namespace.
o R_max_col() has new (5th) argument '*ties_meth' allowing
non-random behavior in the case of ties.
o The header files have been rationalized: the BLAS routine
LSAME is now declared in BLAS.h not Linpack.h, Applic.h no
longer duplicates routines from Linpack.h, and Applic.h is
divided into API and non-API sections.
o memory.c has been instrumented so that Valgrind can track R's
internal memory management. To use this, configure using
--with-valgrind-instrumentation=level
where level is 1 or 2. Both levels will find more bugs with
gctorture(TRUE). Level 2 makes Valgrind run extremely slowly.
o Some support for raw vectors has been added to Rdefines.h.
o R_BaseEnv has been added, to refer to the base environment.
This is currently equal to R_NilValue, but it will change in
a future release.
BUG FIXES
o %/% has been adjusted to make x == (x %% y) + y * ( x %/% y )
more likely in cases when extended-precision registers were
interfering.
o Operations on POSIXct objects (such as seq(), max() and
subsetting) try harder to preserve time zones and warn if
inconsistent time zones are used.
o as.function.default() no longer asks for a bug report when
given an invalid body. (PR#1880, PR#7535, PR#7702)
o Hershey fonts and grid output (and therefore lattice output)
now rescale correctly in fit-to-window resizing on a Windows
graphics device. Line widths also scale now.
o Plotmath has more support for multibyte characters (contributed
by Ei-ji Nakama).
o The X11() device now hints the window manager so that decorations
appear reliably under e.g. the GNOME WM (contributed
by Ei-ji Nakama).
o Subsetting a matrix or an array as a vector used to attempt to
use the row names to name the result, even though the
array might be longer than the row names. Now this is only
done for 1D arrays when it is done in all cases, even matrix
indexing. (Tidies up after the fix to PR#937.)
o Constants in mathlib are declared 'const static double' to
avoid performance issues with the Intel Itanium compiler.
o The parser checks the format of numeric constants more
thoroughly so for example '123E-' is no longer valid.
o contourLines() no longer requires an open device (used to
start a device unnecessarily). Fix suggested by Barry Rowlingson.
o capabilities() used partial matching but was not documented
to: it no longer does so.
o kernel(1,0) printed wrongly; kernel(<name-string>, *) now returns
a named kernel in all cases; plot(kernel(.),..) is more flexible.
o qgamma(1,s) didn't give +Inf for some s.
o installed.packages() and download.packages() now always
return a matrix as documented, possibly with 0 rows (rather than
a 0-length character vector or NULL).
o Arithmetic operations on data frames no longer coerce the
names to syntatically valid names.
o Units are now properly recycled in grid layouts
when 'widths' or 'heights' are shorter than the number of
columns or rows (PR#8014).
o DF <- data.frame(A=1:2, B=3:4); DF[1, 1:3] <- NULL gave a wrong
error message.
o spline()/spinefun()'s C code had a memory access buglet which
never lead to incorrect results. (PR#8030)
o sum() was promoting logical arguments to double not integer
(as min() and other members of its group do).
o loess() had a bug causing it to occasionally miscalculate
standard errors (PR#7956). Reported by Benjamin Tyner, fixed
by Berwin Turlach.
o library(keep.source=) was ignored if the package had a
namespace (the setting of options("keep.source.pkgs") was
always used).
o hist.POSIXct() and hist.Date() now respect par("xaxt").
o The 'vfont' argument was not supported correctly in title(),
mtext(), and axis(). The 'vfont' argument is superseded by
the par(family=) approach introduced in 2.0.0. This bug-fix
just updates the warning messages and documentation to
properly reflect the new order of things.
o The C-level function PrintGenericVector could overflow if
asked to print a length-1 character vector of several thousand
characters. This could happen when printing a list matrix,
and was fatal up to 2.1.1 and silently truncated in 2.1.1 patched.
o What happened for proc.time() and system.time() on
(Unix-alike) systems which do not support timing was
incorrectly documented. (They both exist but throw an error.)
Further, systen.time() would give an error in its on.exit
expression.
o weighted.residuals() now does sensible things for glm() fits:
in particular it now agrees with an lm() fit for a Gaussian glm()
fit. (PR#7961).
o The 'lm' and 'glm' methods for add1() took the weights and
offset from the original fit, and so gave errors in the
(dubious) usage where the upper scope resulted in a smaller
number of cases to fit (e.g. by omitting missing values in new
variables). (PR#8049)
o demo() had a 'device' argument that did nothing (although it
was documented to): it has been removed.
o Setting new levels on a factor dropped all existing
attributes, including class "ordered".
o format.default(justify="none") now by default converts NA
character strings, as the other values always did.
o format.info() often gave a different field width from format()
for character vectors (e.g. including missing values or
non-printable characters).
o axis() now ensures that if 'labels' are supplied as character
strings or expressions then 'at' is also supplied (since the
calculated value for 'at' can change under resizing).
o Defining S4 methods for "[" had resulted in changed behavior of S3
dispatch in a very rare case which no longer happens.
o Fixed segfault when PostScript font loading fails, e.g., when
R is unable to find afm files (reported by Ivo Welch).
o R CMD BATCH <file> now also works when <file> does not end in a
newline on Unix-alike platforms.
o terms.formula() got confused if the 'data' argument was a list with
non-syntactic names.
o prompt() and hence package.skeleton() now produce *.Rd files that
give no errors (but warnings) when not edited, much more often.
o promptClass() and promptMethods() now also escape "%" e.g. in '%*%'
and the latter gives a message about the file written.
o wilcox.test() now warns when conf.level is set higher than
achievable, preventing errors (PR#3666) and incorrect answers
with extremely small sample sizes.
o The default (protection pointer) stack size (the default for
'--max-ppsize') has been increased from 10000 to 50000 in order to
match the increased default options("expressions") (in R 2.1.0).
o The R front-end was expecting --gui=tk not Tk as documented,
and rejecting --gui=X11.
o Rdconv -t latex protected only the first << and >> in a chunk
against conversion to guillemets.
o callNextMethod() and callGeneric() have fixes related to
handling arguments.
o ls.diag() now works for fits with missing data. (PR#8139)
o window.default() had an incorrect tolerance and so sometimes
created too short a series if 'start' or 'end' were zero.
o Some (fairly pointless) cases of reshape left a
temporary id variable in the result (PR#8152)
o R CMD build used 'tar xhf' which is invalid on FreeBSD systems
(and followed tar chf, so there could be no symbolic links in
the tarball).
o Subassignment of length zero vectors to NULL gave garbage
answers. (PR#8157)
o Automatic coercion of raw vectors to lists was missing, so for a
list (or data frame) z, z[["a"]] <- raw_vector did not work
and now does. This also affected DF$a <- raw_vector for a
data frame DF.
o The internal code for commandArgs() was missing PROTECTs.
o The width for strwrap() was used as one less than specified.
o R CMD INSTALL was not cleaning up after an unsuccessful
install of a non-bundle which was not already installed.

Subject: R-1.7.0 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I've rolled up R-1.7.0.tgz a short while ago. This is a new version
with major changes in the methods/class area and with namespaces used
much more widely than before. Several routines now use the faster and
more modern LAPACK library. Also notice that the underscore is now
strongly deprecated as an assignment operator.
There are also a bunch of new functions and an assortment of bugs have
been fixed.
You can get it from
http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.7.0.tgz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries
for various platforms will appear in due course.
There is also a version split for floppies.
These are the md5sums for the freshly created files, in case you wish
to check that they are uncorrupted:

For the R Core Team,
Peter D.
Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file:
CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.7.0
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o solve(), chol(), eigen() and svd() now use LAPACK routines
unless a new back-compatibility option is turned on. The
signs and normalization of eigen/singular vectors may change
from earlier versions.
o The `methods', `modreg', `mva', `nls' and `ts' packages
are now attached by default at startup (in addition to `ctest').
The option "defaultPackages" has been added which contains the
initial list of packages. See ?Startup and ?options for details.
Note that .First() is no longer used by R itself.
class() now always (not just when `methods' is attached) gives
a non-null class, and UseMethod() always dispatches on the
class that class() returns. This means that methods like
foo.matrix and foo.integer will be used. Functions oldClass()
and oldClass<-() get and set the "class" attribute as R
without `methods' used to.
o The default random number generators have been changed to
`Mersenne-Twister' and `Inversion'. A new RNGversion()
function allows you to restore the generators of an earlier R
version if reproducibility is required.
o Namespaces can now be defined for packages other than `base':
see `Writing R Extensions'. This hides some internal objects
and changes the search path from objects in a namespace. All
the base packages (except methods and tcltk) have namespaces,
as well as the recommended packages `KernSmooth', `MASS',
`boot', `class', `nnet', `rpart' and `spatial'.
o Formulae are not longer automatically simplified when terms()
is called, so the formulae in results may still be in the
original form rather than the equivalent simplified form
(which may have reordered the terms): the results are now
much closer to those of S.
o The tables for plotmath, Hershey and Japanese have been moved
from the help pages (example(plotmath) etc) to demo(plotmath) etc.
o Errors and warnings are sent to stderr not stdout on
command-line versions of R (Unix and Windows).
o The R_X11 module is no longer loaded until it is needed, so
do test that x11() works in a new Unix-alike R installation.
NEW FEATURES
o if() and while() give a warning if called with a vector condition.
o Installed packages under Unix without compiled code are no
longer stamped with the platform and can be copied to other
Unix-alike platforms (but not to other OSes because of
potential problems with line endings and OS-specific help files).
o The internal random number generators will now never return
values of 0 or 1 for runif. This might affect simulation
output in extremely rare cases. Note that this is not
guaranteed for user-supplied random-number generators, nor
when the standalone Rmath library is used.
o When assigning names to a vector, a value that is too short is
padded by character NAs. (Wishlist part of PR#2358)
o It is now recommended to use the 'SystemRequirements:' field in
the DESCRIPTION file for specifying dependencies external to the
R system.
o Output text connections no longer have a line-length limit.
o On platforms where vsnprintf does not return the needed buffer
size the output line-length limit for fifo(), gzfile() and
bzfile() has been raised from 10k to 100k chars.
o The Math group generic does not check the number of arguments
supplied before dispatch: it used to if the default method had
one argument but not if it had two. This allows trunc.POSIXt()
to be called via the group generic trunc().
o Logical matrix replacement indexing of data frames is now
implemented (interpreted as if the lhs was a matrix).
o Recursive indexing of lists is allowed, so x[[c(4,2)]] is
shorthand for x[[4]][[2]] etc. (Wishlist PR#1588)
o Most of the time series functions now check explicitly for a
numeric time series, rather than fail at a later stage.
o The postscript output makes use of relative moves, and so is
somewhat more compact.
o %*% and crossprod() for complex arguments make use of BLAS
routines and so may be much faster on some platforms.
o arima() has coef(), logLik() (and hence AIC) and vcov() methods.
o New function as.difftime() for time-interval data.
o basename() and dirname() are now vectorized.
o biplot.default() {mva} allows `xlab' and `ylab' parameters to
be set (without partially matching to `xlabs' and `ylabs').
(Thanks to Uwe Ligges.)
o New function capture.output() to send printed output from an expression
to a connection or a text string.
o ccf() (pckage ts) now coerces its x and y arguments to class "ts".
o chol() and chol2inv() now use LAPACK routines by default.
o as.dist(.) is now idempotent, i.e., works for "dist" objects.
o Generic function confint() and `lm' method (formerly in
package MASS, which has `glm' and `nls' methods).
o New function constrOptim() for optimisation under linear inequality
constraints.
o Add `difftime' subscript method and methods for the group
generics. (Thereby fixing PR#2345)
o download.file() can now use HTTP proxies which require `basic'
username/password authentication.
o dump() has a new argument `envir'. The search for named
objects now starts by default in the environment from which
dump() is called.
o The edit.matrix() and edit.data.frame() editors can now handle
logical data.
o New argument `local' for example() (suggested by Andy Liaw).
o New function file.symlink() to create symbolic file links
where supported by the OS.
o New generic function flush() with a method to flush connections.
o New function force() to force evaluation of a formal argument.
o New functions getFromNamespace(), fixInNamespace() and
getS3method() to facilitate developing code in packages with
namespaces.
o glm() now accepts `etastart' and `mustart' as alternative ways
to express starting values.
o New function gzcon() which wraps a connection and provides
(de)compression compatible with gzip.
load() now uses gzcon(), so can read compressed saves from
suitable connections.
o help.search() can now reliably match individual aliases and
keywords, provided that all packages searched were installed
using R 1.7.0 or newer.
o hist.default() now returns the nominal break points, not those
adjusted for numerical tolerances.
To guard against unthinking use, `include.lowest' in
hist.default() is now ignored, with a warning, unless `breaks'
is a vector. (It either generated an error or had no effect,
depending how prettification of the range operated.)
o New generic functions influence(), hatvalues() and dfbeta()
with lm and glm methods; the previously normal functions rstudent(),
rstandard(), cooks.distance() and dfbetas() became generic.
These have changed behavior for glm objects -- all originating from
John Fox' car package.
o interaction.plot() has several new arguments, and the legend
is not clipped anymore by default. It internally uses axis(1,*)
instead of mtext().
This also addresses "bugs" PR#820, PR#1305, PR#1899.
o New isoreg() function and class for isotonic regression
(`modreg' package).
o La.chol() and La.chol2inv() now give interpretable error
messages rather than LAPACK error codes.
o legend() has a new `plot' argument. Setting it `FALSE' gives
size information without plotting (suggested by U.Ligges).
o library() was changed so that when the methods package is
attached it no longer complains about formal generic functions
not specific to the library.
o list.files()/dir() have a new argument `recursive'.
o lm.influence() has a new `do.coef' argument allowing *not* to
compute casewise changed coefficients. This makes plot.lm() much
quicker for large data sets.
o load() now returns invisibly a character vector of the names
of the objects which were restored.
o New convenience function loadURL() to allow loading data files
from URLs (requested by Frank Harrell).
o New function mapply(), a multivariate lapply().
o New function md5sum() in package tools to calculate MD5
checksums on files (e.g. on parts of the R installation).
o medpolish() {package eda} now has an `na.rm' argument (PR#2298).
o methods() now looks for registered methods in namespaces, and
knows about many objects that look like methods but are not.
o mosaicplot() has a new default for `main', and supports the
`las' argument (contributed by Uwe Ligges and Wolfram Fischer).
o An attempt to open() an already open connection will be detected
and ignored with a warning. This avoids improperly closing
some types of connections if they are opened repeatedly.
o optim(method = "SANN") can now cover combinatorial optimization
by supplying a move function as the `gr' argument (contributed
by Adrian Trapletti).
o PDF files produced by pdf() have more extensive information
fields, including the version of R that produced them.
o On Unix(-alike) systems the default PDF viewer is now determined
during configuration, and available as the 'pdfviewer' option.
o pie(...) has always accepted graphical pars but only passed
them on to title(). Now pie(, cex=1.5) works.
o plot.dendrogram (`mva' package) now draws leaf labels if present
by default.
o New plot.design() function as in S.
o The postscript() and PDF() drivers now allow the title to be set.
o New function power.anova.test(), contributed by Claus Ekstr?m.
o power.t.test() now behaves correctly for negative delta in the
two-tailed case.
o power.t.test() and power.prop.test() now have a `strict'
argument that includes rejections in the "wrong tail" in the
power calculation. (Based in part on code suggested by Ulrich
Halekoh.)
o prcomp() is now fast for n x m inputs with m >> n.
o princomp() no longer allows the use of more variables than
units: use prcomp() instead.
o princomp.formula() now has principal argument `formula', so
update() can be used.
o Printing an object with attributes now dispatches on the
class(es) of the attributes. See ?print.default for the fine
print. (PR#2506)
o print.matrix() and prmatrix() are now separate functions.
prmatrix() is the old S-compatible function, and
print.matrix() is a proper print method, currently identical
to print.default(). prmatrix() and the old print.matrix()
did not print attributes of a matrix, but the new print.matrix()
does.
o print.summary.{lm,glm} now default to symbolic.cor = FALSE, but
symbolic.cor can be passed to the print methods from the
summary methods. print.summary.{lm,glm} print correlations to
2 decimal places, and the symbolic printout avoids abbreviating
labels.
o If a prompt() method is called with 'filename' as 'NA', a
list-style representation of the documentation shell generated
is returned. New function promptData() for documenting objects
as data sets.
o qqnorm() and qqline() have an optional logical argument
`datax' to transpose the plot (S-PLUS compatibility).
o qr() now has the option to use LAPACK routines, and the
results can be used by the helper routines qr.coef(), qr.qy()
and qr.qty(). The LAPACK-using versions may be much faster
for large matrices (using an optimized BLAS) but are less
flexible.
o QR objects now have class "qr", and solve.qr() is now just the
method for solve() for the class.
o New function r2dtable() for generating random samples of two-way
tables with given marginals using Patefield's algorithm.
o rchisq() now has a non-centrality parameter `ncp', and there's a
C API for rnchisq().
o New generic function reorder() with a dendrogram method;
new order.dendrogram() and heatmap().
o require() has a new argument, character.only,
-- to make it align with library.
o New functions rmultinom() and dmultinom(), the first one with
a C API.
o New function runmed() for fast runnning medians (`modreg' package).
o New function slice.index() for identifying indexes with respect
to slices of an array.
o solve.default(a) now gives the dimnames one would expect.
o stepfun() has a new `right' argument for right-continuous step
function construction.
o str() now shows ordered factors different from unordered ones.
It also differentiates "NA" and as.character(NA), also for factor
levels.
o symnum() has a new logical argument `abbr.colnames'.
o summary(<logical>) now mentions NA's as suggested by
G?ran Brostr?m.
o summaryRprof() now prints times with a precision appropriate
to the sampling interval, rather than always to 2dp.
o New function Sys.getpid() to get the process ID of the R session.
o table() now allows exclude= with factor arguments (requested by
Michael Friendly).
o The tempfile() function now takes an optional second argument
giving the directory name.
o The ordering of terms for terms.formula(keep.order=FALSE) is
now defined on the help page and used consistently, so that
repeated calls will not alter the ordering (which is why
delete.response() was failing: see the bug fixes). The
formula is not simplified unless the new argument `simplify'
is true.
o added "[" method for terms objects.
o New argument `silent' to try().
o ts() now allows arbitrary values for y in start/end = c(x, y):
it always allowed y < 1 but objected to y > frequency.
o unique.default() now works for POSIXct objects, and hence so
does factor().
o Package tcltk now allows return values from the R side to the
Tcl side in callbacks and the R_eval command. If the return
value from the R function or expression is of class "tclObj"
then it will be returned to Tcl.
o A new HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL graphical user interface using the tcltk
package is provided. Currently, little more than a proof of concept.
It can be started by calling "R -g Tk" (this may change in later
versions) or by evaluating tkStartGUI(). Only Unix-like systems
for now. It is not too stable at this point; in particular, signal
handling is not working properly.
o Changes to support name spaces:
- Placing base in a name space can no longer be disabled by
defining the environment variable R_NO_BASE_NAMESPACE.
- New function topenv() to determine the nearest top level
environment (usually .GlobalEnv or a name space environment).
- Added name space support for packages that do not use methods.
o Formal classes and methods can be `sealed', by using the
corresponding argument to setClass or setMethod. New
functions isSealedClass() and isSealedMethod() test sealing.
o packages can now be loaded with version numbers. This allows
for multiple versions of files to be installed (and potentially
loaded). Some serious testing will be going on, but it should
have no effect unless specifically asked for.
INSTALLATION CHANGES
o TITLE files in packages are no longer used, the Title field
in the DESCRIPTION file being preferred. TITLE files will be
ignored in both installed packages and source packages.
o When searching for a Fortran 77 compiler, configure by default
now also looks for Fujitsu's frt and Compaq's fort, but no
longer for cf77 and cft77.
o Configure checks that mixed C/Fortran code can be run before
checking compatibility on ints and doubles: the latter test
was sometimes failing because the Fortran libraries were not
found.
o PCRE and bzip2 are built from versions in the R sources if the
appropriate library is not found.
o New configure option --with-lapack to allow high-performance
LAPACK libraries to be used: a generic LAPACK library will be
used if found. This option is not the default.
o New configure options --with-libpng, --with-jpeglib, --with-zlib,
--with-bzlib and --with-pcre, principally to allow these
libraries to be avoided if they are unsuitable.
o If the precious variable R_BROWSER is set at configure time
it overrides the automatic selection of the default browser.
It should be set to the full path unless the browser appears
at different locations on different client machines.
o Perl requirements are down again to 5.004 or newer.
o Autoconf 2.57 or later is required to build the configure
script.
o Configure provides a more comprehensive summary of its results.
o Index generation now happens when installing source packages
using R code in package tools. An existing 'INDEX' file is used
as is; otherwise, it is automatically generated from the \name
and \title entries in the Rd files. Data, demo and vignette
indices are computed from all available files of the respective
kind, and the corresponding index information (in the Rd files,
the 'demo/00Index' file, and the \VignetteIndexEntry{} entries,
respectively). These index files, as well as the package Rd
contents data base, are serialized as R objects in the 'Meta'
subdirectory of the top-level package directory, allowing for
faster and more reliable index-based computations (e.g., in
help.search()).
o The Rd contents data base is now computed when installing source
packages using R code in package tools. The information is
represented as a data frame without collapsing the aliases and
keywords, and serialized as an R object. (The 'CONTENTS' file
in Debian Control Format is still written, as it is used by the
HTML search engine.)
o A NAMESPACE file in root directory of a source package is copied
to the root of the package installation directory. Attempting to
install a package with a NAMESPACE file using --save signals an
error; this is a temporary measure.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o The assignment operator `_' will be removed in the next
release and users are now warned on every usage: you may even see
multiple warnings for each usage.
If environment variable R_NO_UNDERLINE is set to anything of
positive length then use of `_' becomes a syntax error.
o machine(), Machine() and Platform() are defunct.
o restart() is defunct. Use try(), as has long been recommended.
o The deprecated arguments `pkg' and `lib' of system.file() have
been removed.
o printNoClass() {methods} is deprecated (and moved to base,
since it was a copy of a base function).
o Primitives dataClass() and objWithClass() have been replaced
by class() and class<-(); they were internal support functions
for use by package methods.
o The use of SIGUSR2 to quit a running R process under Unix is
deprecated, the signal may need to be reclaimed for other
purposes.
UTILITIES
o R CMD check more compactly displays the tests of DESCRIPTION
meta-information. It now reports demos and vignettes without
available index information. Unless installation tests are
skipped, checking is aborted if the package dependencies cannot
be resolved at run time. Rd files are now also explicitly
checked for empty \name and \title entries. The examples are
always run with T and F redefined to give an error if used
instead of TRUE and FALSE.
o The Perl code to build help now removes an existing example
file if there are no examples in the current help file.
o R CMD Rdindex is now deprecated in favor of function Rdindex()
in package tools.
o Sweave() now encloses the Sinput and Soutput environments of
each chunk in an Schunk environment. This allows to fix some
vertical spacing problems when using the latex class slides.
C-LEVEL FACILITIES
o A full double-precision LAPACK shared library is made
available as -lRlapack. To use this include
$(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS) in PKG_LIBS.
o Header file R_ext/Lapack.h added. C declarations of BLAS
routines moved to R_ext/BLAS.h and included in R_ext/Applic.h
and R_ext/Linpack.h for backward compatibility.
o R will automatically call initialization and unload routines, if
present, in shared libraries/DLLs during dyn.load() and
dyn.unload() calls. The routines are named R_init_<dll name>
and R_unload_<dll name>, respectively. See the Writing R
Extensions Manual for more information.
o Routines exported directly from the R executable for use with
.C(), .Call(), .Fortran() and .External() are now accessed via
the registration mechanism (optionally) used by packages. The
ROUTINES file (in src/appl/) and associated scripts to
generate FFTab.h and FFDecl.h are no longer used.
o Entry point Rf_append is no longer in the installed headers
(but is still available). It is apparently unused.
o Many conflicts between other headers and R's can be avoided by
defining STRICT_R_HEADERS and/or R_NO_REMAP -- see `Writing R
Extensions' for details.
o New entry point R_GetX11Image and formerly undocumented
ptr_R_GetX11Image are in new header R_ext/GetX11Image. These
are used by package tkrplot.
BUG FIXES
o Sys.sleep() on Unix was having trouble with waits of less than 0.5s
o The fix to PR#2396 broke read.table() on files with CR line
endings. (PR#2469) Separate problem with this on Carbon MacOS
build fixed as well.
o Converting Sweave files to noweb syntax using SweaveSyntConv()
was broken.
o Printing numbers near the minimum could get the number of
significant figures wrong due to underflow: for example 4e-308
might print as 4.00000e-308. (Seen on some Windows builds,
and also on numbers around 1e-317 on Linux.)
o wilcox.test() could give integer overflow warnings on very long
vectors. Also added tests for numeric inputs, as per the help
page. (PR#2453)
o Printing unquoted character vectors containing escape
characters was computing the wrong length and hence
misaligning names. This was due to a bug in Rstrlen which
might have had other effects.
o if(logical(0)) and while(logical(0)) now report zero length,
not `missing value where logical is needed'.
o The gaussian() and inverse.gaussian() families were documented
to allow only one link, which has not been true in R for at
least four years.
o prmatrix() forced conversion to character if `na.print' was
used, and that conversion neither respected `digits' nor
`quote'.
o Rprof() might give misleading results for too small values of
`interval' and in practice the default 20ms was about as small
as is advisable on Linux. Now the interval is forced to be at
least one clock tick.
o summary.data.frame() was not giving interpretable results when
the data frame contained a data frame as a column. (PR#1891)
o delete.response() might re-order the rhs terms so prediction
might fail or even give incorrect results. (PR#2206)
o StructTS() now accepts numeric time series of integer storage mode.
o all(), any() now handle NAs as documented.
o Subsetting arrays to a result with 0 dimension(s) failed if
the array had dimnames. (PR#2507)
o If the call to data.frame() included 0-row arguments, it tried
to replicate them to the maximum number of rows, and failed if
this was 1 or more.
o replicate() now understands data frames to which na.omit() has
been applied.
o is.ts() was too liberal: a time series must have at least one point.
o methods() was sorting by package, not by name.
o symbols(thermometers=) was often giving a spurious warning about
the range.
o tcltk was using deprecated internals of the Tcl library when
accessing error messages. Not likely to be a user-visible
change.
o The automatic search for BLAS libs now tries Sun's libsunperf
the way the latest versions require. (PR#2530)
o str(array(1)) now does show the array.
str(Surv(...)) now works again.
o step(), add1.default() and drop1.default() now work somewhat
better if called from a function.
o page() was searching from the wrong environment, and so
searching base before the workspace.
o crossprod(Z) for complex Z was returning nonsense.
o La.chol2inv() gave incorrect results unless the matrix was square.
o When the POSIXt date functions were required to guess DST,
they sometimes guessed correctly that DST was in force but
converted a POSIXlt time as if standard time was given.
o c/rbind were not handling zero col/row matrices correctly.
(PR#2541 was one symptom.)
o approx() and approxfun() now work with 1 knot if
method = "constant". stepfun(), ecdf() and plot.stepfun() do so
as well.
o AIC.lm/default was failing if multiple objects and k were
specified. (PR#2518)
o removeMethods{methods} was broken. (PR#2519)
o summary.glm() had two `aic' components in the returned object.
o autoload() was returning the value of its last command, a
promise, even though it was documented to have no value.
As a result some packages (e.g. nlme) were loading packages
they meant to autoload.
o Fixes to methods and classes:
- show() is consistent with using setOldClass for S3 classes.
- several problems with the coerce and replace methods
generated by setIs have been fixed.
- more thorough tests & informative messages for invalid
`def' arguments to setGeneric
- setGeneric will now create the generic function even when
a generic of the same name already exists (it does issue
a warning).
o unz() connections could no longer be opened. (PR#2579)
o unique(ordered factor) returned an unordered factor. (PR#2591)
o x[] <- value coerced x to the mode of value if and only if x
had length 0! (Should only happen if x is null: PR#2590)
o lm() mislabelled the cols of the qr decomposition. (cause of PR#2586)
o data() looks for file extensions in an order prescribed in the
help file: previously whether foo.R or foo.csv was used was
locale-dependent.
o sys.function() now returns the actual function being evaluated in
the specified frame rather than one inferred from the call.
o match.call() now uses the definition of the actual function being
evaluated rather than one inferred from the call.
o abbreviate(*, dot = TRUE) now only adds a "." where abbreviations
did happen.
o Changing timezones in the POSIXt functions was not working on
some Linux systems, and this has been corrected.
o ks.test() in package ctest had numerical problems in the lower
tail of the asymptotic distribution (PR#2571).
o Sweave() now handles empty chunks at the end of files correctly.
o [<-() lost the object bit if coercion was involved.
o package::object wasn't being deparsed properly.
o seq.POSIXt() with `by' an object of class "difftime" ignored
the units.
o rank(c("B", NA)) no longer returns character.
o reference to by() added in ?tapply
o ?lm describes what happens with matrix response
o The X11 device has improved event handling. In particular it
used to often miss the last of a series of resize events.
o lm.influence() and related functions now work again for the
multivariate case and when there are zero weights.
o format( <character> ) now always keeps names and dimnames.
o table(factor(c(2,NA), exclude=NULL)) prints better now.
o predict(foo, type = "terms") and hence
residuals(foo, type = "partial") now work for lm and glm objects
with weights zero. Further, model.matrix() is now only called once.
o R CMD config now works correctly when called from a Makefile
using GNU make.
o The data.frame method for rbind() was
- converting character columns to factors,
- converting ordered factor columns to unordered factors,
- failing to append correctly a factor to a character column
and vice versa.
o as.hclust.twins() now does provide proper `labels', `method' and
`call' components.
o cycle() sometimes failed on a time series which started at a cycle
other than 1.
o read.dcf() read incorrectly files which did not end in a new line.
o read.socket() dropped certain non-alphanumeric characters. (PR#2639)
o termplot() handles missing data better (PR#2687,
<Mark.Bravington at csiro.au>)
o Corrected MacRoman encoding for Icircumflex etc.

Subject: updates: exactRankTests, mvtnorm and maxstat
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0112191349240.19730-100000@artemis.imbe.med.uni-erlangen.de>
Hi,
following the release of R-1.4.0, new versions of the packages
* exactRankTests (0.6-0)
* mvtnorm (0.5-0)
and
* maxstat (0.5-2)
are available on CRAN. Several changes to the user-interfaces were necessary
(improvements, hopefully) and some new features are included, for example
in `exactRankTests':
* one- and two-sample permutation tests are available,
* new interface to `pperm',
* exact Hodges-Lehmann confidence intervals in `wilcox.exact' (PR#1150),
* `perm.test' and `wilcox.exact' are generic and offer a formula interface.
Major contributions came (and come) from Kurt Hornik, he
is now co-author of `exactRankTests'.
In `mvtnorm':
* `{dr}mvnorm' moved from package `e1071' to `mvtnorm' (thanks to Fritz
Leisch!),
* `pmv{t}norm' has a slightly new interface: the length of lower, upper and
mean are recycled to the length of the largest and it is possible to
specify either the correlation or covariance matrix.
In `maxstat':
* `maxstat.test' is now generic and provides a formula interface as well as a
print and plot method,
* it depends on mvtnorm-0.5-0 and exactRankTests-0.6-0.
Known bugs were fixed, see the CHANGES file in each of the packages for
details.

Subject: R 2.8.0 is released
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I've rolled up R-2.8.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a development
release which contains a number of new features.
Also, a number of mostly minor bugs have been fixed. See the full list
of changes below.
You can get it (later today) from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-2/R-2.8.0.tar.gz
or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. In case of
impatience, try http://www.biostat.ku.dk/~pd/R-release
Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.
For the R Core Team

CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.8.0
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o var(), cov(), cor(), sd() etc now by default (when 'use' is not
specified) return NA in many cases where they signalled an
error before.
NEW FEATURES
o abbreviate() gains an optional argument 'strict' allowing cheap
and fast strict abbrevation.
o The "lm" methods of add1(), anova() and drop1() warn if they are
mis-used on an essentially exact fit.
o as.array() is now generic, gains a '...' argument.
o New function as.hexmode() for converting integers in hex format.
format.hexmode() and as.character.hexmode() gain an 'upper.case'
argument.
o bitmap() and dev2bitmap() gain support for anti-aliasing.
The default type has been changed to 'png16m', which supports
anti-aliasing.
o Box.test() gains a 'fitdf' argument to adjust the degrees of
freedom if applied to residuals.
o browseURL() has a new argument 'encodeIfNeeded' to use
URLencode() in cases where it seems likely that would be
helpful. (Unfortunately, those are hard to guess.)
o by() gains a 'simplify' argument, passed to tapply().
o capabilities() gains a new argument "tiff" to report if tiff()
is operational.
o chol2inv() now treats <numeric(1)> as a [1 x 1]-matrix.
o cov() and cor() have the option 'use = "everything"' as default,
and so does var() with its default 'na.rm = FALSE'. This
returns NA instead of signalling an error for NA observations.
Another new option is 'use = "na.or.complete"' which is the default
for var(*, na.rm=FALSE).
var(double(0), na.rm= L) now returns NA instead of signalling an error,
for both L = TRUE or FALSE, as one consequence of these changes.
o data.matrix() now tries harder to convert non-numeric columns,
via as.numeric() or as(, "numeric").
o dev.interactive() is able to recognize the standard screen
devices if getOption("device") is a function (as well as by name).
o dev.new() gains a '...' argument which can be used to pass
named arguments which will be used if appropriate to the
device selected.
o dimnames(x) <- value extends 'value' if it a list and too
short, and 'x' is an array. This allows constructions such as
dimnames(x)[[1]] <- 1:3 to work whether or not 'x' already has
dimnames.
o format(), formatC() and prettyNum() gain a new argument
'drop0trailing' which can be used to suppress trailing "0"s.
o format() now works for environments; also print(env) and str(env)
share the same code for environments.
o It is now possible to create and open a text-mode gzfile()
connection by explicitly using e.g. open="rt".
o New help.request() function for compiling an e-mail to R-help
according to "the rules". It is built on the new utility,
create.post() on which also bug.report() is based now; both
thanks to a contribution by Heather Turner.
o help.search() now assumes that non-ASCII items are in latin1
if that makes sense (all known examples on CRAN are).
o HoltWinters() and decompose() use a (statistically) more
efficient computation for seasonal fits (they used to waste
one period).
o intToUtf8() and intToBits() now accept numeric vectors,
truncating them to integers.
o is.unsorted() gains an argument 'strictly'. It now works for
classed objects with a >= or > method (as incorrectly
documented earlier).
o library() no longer warns about the masking objects that are
identical(.,.) to those they mask.
o lockBinding(), unlockBinding(), lockEnvironment() and
makeActiveBinding() now all return invisibly (they always
return NULL).
o mood.test() now behaves better in the presence of ties.
o na.action() now works on fits of classes "lm", "glm", ....
o optim(.., method="SANN", .., trace=TRUE) is now customizable via
the 'REPORT' control argument, thanks to code proposals by
Thomas Petzoldt.
o The 'factory-fresh' defaults for options("device") have been
changed to refer to the devices as functions in the grDevices
namespace and not as names. This makes it more likely that
the incorrect (since R 2.5.0) assumption in packages that
get(getOption("device"))() will work will catch users of those
packages.
o pch=16 now has no border (for consistency with 15, 17, 18) and
hence is now different from pch=19.
o pdf() has new arguments 'useDingbats' (set this to FALSE for use
with broken viewers) and 'colormodel'. It now only references
the ZapfDingbats font if it is used (for small opaque circles).
The default PDF version is now 1.4, since viewers that do not
accept that are now rare.
Different viewers were rendering consecutive text() calls on a
pdf() device in different ways where translucency was
involved. The PDF generated has been changed to force each
call to be rendered separately (which is the way xpdf or
ghostscript was rendering, but Acrobat was forming a
transparency group), which is consistent with other graphics
devices supporting semi-transparency.
o plot.dendrogram() has new arguments (xlim, ylim) which allows
zooming into a hiearchical clustering dendrogram.
o plot.histogram() gains an 'ann' argument. (Wish from Ben Bolker.)
o plot(<lm_obj>) now warns when it omits points with leverage one
from a plot.
o Plotmath now recognizes 'aleph' and 'nabla' (the Adobe Symbol
'gradient' glyph) as symbol names.
o polyroot() no longer has a maximum degree.
o The alpha/alphamax argument of the 'nls' and 'mle' profile()
methods is used to compute confidence limits for univariate
t-statistics rather than a confidence region for all the
parameters (and not just those being profiled).
o quantile.default() allows 'probs' to stray just beyond [0, 1],
to allow for computed values.
o New functions rawConnection() and rawConnectionValue() allow
raw vectors to be treated as connections.
o read.dcf() now consistently gives an error for malformed DCF.
o read.fwf() no longer passes its default for 'as.is' to
read.table(): this allows the latter's default to be used.
o readBin(), writeBin(), readChar() and writeChar() now open a
connection which was not already open in an appropriate binary
mode rather than the default mode.
readLines(), cat() and sink() now open a connection which was
not already open in an appropriate text mode rather than the
default mode.
o readCitationFile() (and hence citation) now reads a package's
CITATION file in the package's declared encoding (if there is one).
o The behaviour of readLines() for incomplete final lines on
binary-mode connections has been changed to be like blocking
rather than non-blocking text-mode connections.
o A new reorder.character() method has been added. This allows
use of 'reorder(x, ...)' as a shorthand for
'reorder(factor(x), ...)' when 'x' is a character vector.
o round() now computes in long doubles where possible so the
results are more likely to be correct to representation error.
o rug() now uses axis()'s new arguments from 2.7.2, hence no
longer draws an axis line.
o save() (optionally, but by default) checks for the existence
of objects before opening the file/connections (wish of
PR#12543).
o segments(), arrows() and rect() allow zero-length
coordinates. (Wish of PR#11192)
o set.seed(kind=NULL) now takes 'kind' from a saved seed if the
workspace has been restored or .Random.seed has been set in
some other way. Previously it took the 'currently used' value,
which was "default" unless random numbers had been used in
the current session. Similarly for the values reported by
RNGkind(). (Related to PR#12567.)
set.seed() gains a 'normal.kind' argument.
o setEPS() and setPS() gain '...' to allow other arguments to be
passed to ps.options(), including overriding 'width' and 'height'.
o setTimeLimit() function to set limits on the CPU
and/or elapsed time for each top-level computation, and
setSessionLimit() to set limits for the rest of the session.
o splinefun() has a new method = "monoH.FC" for monotone Hermite
spline interpolation.
o sprintf() optionally supports the %a/%A notation of C99 (if the
platform does, including under Windows).
o str()'s default method gains a 'formatNum' function argument which
is used for formatting numeric vectors. Note that this is very
slightly not backward compatible, and that its default may change
before release.
o The summary() method for class "ecdf" now uses a print()
method rather than printing directly.
o summary.manova() uses a stabler computation of the test
statistics, and gains a 'tol' argument to allow highly
correlated responses to be explored (with probable loss of
accuracy). Similar changes have been made to anova.mlm() and
anova.mlmlist().
o Sweave() now writes concordance information inside a
\Sconcordance LaTeX macro, which allows it to be inserted into
PDF output.
o system.time() now uses lazy evaluation rather than
eval/substitute, which results in more natural scoping. (PR#11169)
o In table(), 'exclude=NULL' now does something also for factor
arguments. A new 'useNA' argument allows you to control
whether to add NA levels unconditionally or only when present
in data. A new convenience function addNA() gives similar
functionality by adding NA levels to individual factors.
o unlink() tries the literal pattern if it does not match with
wildcards interpreted -- this helps with e.g. unlink("a[b")
which previously needed to be unlink("a\\[b").
o update.packages() gains an argument 'oldPkgs', where
new.packages() and old.packages() get 'instPkgs'. These allow to
consider only subsets of packages instead of all installed ones.
o which(b) is somewhat faster now, notably for named vectors, thanks
to a suggestion by Henrik Bengtsson.
o New generic function xtfrm() as an auxiliary helper for
sort(), order() and rank(). This should return a numeric
vector that sorts in the same way as its input. The default
method supports any class with ==, > and is.na() methods but
specific methods can be much faster.
As a side-effect, rank() will now work better on classed
objects, although possibly rather slowly.
o X11() and capabilities("X11") now catch some X11 I/O errors that
previously terminated R. These were rare and have only be
seen with a misconfigured X11 setup on some versions of X11.
o The handling of nuls in character strings has been changed --
they are no longer allowed, and attempting to create such a
string now gives a truncation warning (unless
options("warnEscapes") is false).
o The user environment and profile files can now be specified via
environment variables 'R_ENVIRON_USER' and 'R_PROFILE_USER',
respectively.
o ?pkg::topic and ?pkg:::topic now find help on 'topic' from
package 'pkg' (and not help on :: or :::).
o ??topic now does help.search("topic"); variations such as
??pkg::topic or field??topic are also supported.
o There is support for using ICU (International Components for
Unicode) for collation, enabled by configure option --with-ICU
on a Unix-alike and by a setting in MkRules on Windows.
Function icuSetCollate() allows the collation rules (including
the locale) to be tuned. [Experimental]
o If S4 method dispatch is on and S4 objects are found as
attributes, show() rather than print() is used to print the
S4 attributes.
o Starting package tcltk without access to Tk (e.g. no available
display) is now a warning rather than an error, as Tcl
will still be usable. (On most platforms it was possible to
inhibit Tk by not having DISPLAY set, but not on Windows nor
Mac OS X builds with --with-aqua.)
o Using $ on a non-subsettable object (such as a function) is
now an error (rather than returning NULL).
o Hexadecimal numerical constants (such as 0xab.cdp+12) may now
contain a decimal point.
o PCRE has been updated to version 7.8 (mainly bug fixes).
o plot.ecdf() now defaults to pch=19 so as to better convey the
left-closed line segments.
NEW FEATURES IN PACKAGE 'methods'
o S3 classes that are registered by a call to setOldClass() now
have the S3 class as a special slot, and therefore so do
any S4 classes that contain them. This mechanism is used to
support S4 classes that extend S3 classes, to the extent
possible. See ?Classes, ?setOldClass, and ?S3Class.
The treatment of special pseudo-classes "matrix", "array", and
"ts" as S4 classes has also been modified to be more
consistent and, within limitations imposed by special
treatment of these objects in the base code, to allow other
classes to contain them. See class?ts.
A general feature added to implement "ts" and also
"data.frame" as S4 classes is that an S4 class definition can
be supplied to setOldClass() when the S3 class has known
attributes of known class.
setOldClass() now saves all the S3 inheritance, allowing the
calls to be built up in stages, rather than including all the
S3 classes in each call. Also allows as(x,"S3") to generate
valid S3 inheritance from the stored definition. See ?S3.
o S4 methods may now be defined corresponding to "...", by
creating a generic function that has "..." as its signature.
A method will be selected and called if all the arguments
matching "..." are from this class or a subclass. See ?dotsMethods.
o New functions S3Part() and S3Class() provide access to the
corresponding S3 object and class for S4 classes that extend
either an S3 class or a basic R object type.
o show(<class definition>) now also shows the class name.
INSTALLATION
o If sub-architectures are used, a copy of Rscript is installed
in ${R_HOME}/bin/exec${R_ARCH} (since that in ${R_HOME}/bin
and /usr/bin might be overwritten in a subsequent installation).
PACKAGE INSTALLATION
o LazyLoad: yes is now the default, so packages wanting to avoid
lazy loading must set 'LazyLoad: no' (or an equivalent value) in
the DESCRIPTION file.
o R CMD INSTALL will now fail if it finds a non-executable
'configure' script in the package -- this usually indicates a
file system with insufficient permissions. If a
non-executable 'cleanup' script is found and either
--clean or --preclean is used, a warning is given.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o Use in packages of the graphics headers Rdevices.h and
Rgraphics.h is defunct: they are no longer installed.
o options("par.ask.default") is defunct in favour of
"device.ask.default".
o The 'device-independent' family "symbol" is defunct: use
font=5 (base) or fontface=5 (grid) instead.
o gammaCody() is defunct.
o par("gamma") is defunct.
o 'methods' package functions getAccess(), getAllMethods(),
getClassName(), getClassPackage(), getExtends(),
getProperties(), getPrototype(), getSubclasses, getVirtual(),
mlistMetaName(), removeMethodsObject() and seemsS4Object() are
defunct.
o Use of a non-integer .Random.seed is now an error. (R itself
has never generated such values, but user code has, and
R >= 2.6.0 has given a warning.)
o methods::allGenerics() is deprecated.
o In package installation, SaveImage: yes is now ignored, and
any use of the field will give a warning.
o unserialize() no longer accepts character strings as input.
o The C macro 'allocString' has been removed -- use 'mkChar' and
variants.
o Use of allocVector(CHARSXP ...) is deprecated and gives a warning.
UTILITIES
o The default for 'stylepath' in Sweave's (default) RweaveLatex
driver is now FALSE rather than TRUE if
SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT is unset : see ?RweaveLatex.
To support this, tools::texi2dvi adds the R 'texmf' directory
to the input search path.
o R CMD Rd2dvi now previews PDF output (as was documented) if
R_PDFVIEWER is set (as it will normally be on a Unix-alike but
not on Windows, where the file association is used by default).
o R CMD check checks for binary executable files (which should not
appear in a source package), using a suitable 'file' if
available, else by name.
o R CMD check now also uses codetools' checks on the body of S4
methods.
C-LEVEL FACILITIES
o R_ReadConsole will now be called with a buffer size of 4096
bytes (rather than 1024): maintainers of alternative
front-ends should check that they do not have a smaller limit.
o Graphics structure NewDevDesc has been renamed to DevDesc.
For now there is a compatibility define in GraphicsDevice.h,
but it will be removed in R 2.9.0.
o PROTECT and UNPROTECT macros now work even with R_NO_REMAP.
BUG FIXES
o @ now gives an error (and not just a warning) if it is being
applied to a non-S4 object.
o R CMD appends (not prepends) R's texmf path to TEXINPUTS.
o Objects generated by new() from S4 classes should now all
satisfy isS4(object). Previously, prototypes not of object
type S4 would not be S4 objects. new() applied to basic,
non-S4 classes still will (and should) return non-S4 objects.
o Functions writing to connections such as writeLines(),
writeBin(), writeChar(), save(), dput() and dump() now check
more carefully that the connections are opened for writing,
including connections that they open themselves.
Similarly functions which read such as readLines(), scan(),
dcf() and parse() check connections for being open for reading.
o Equality comparison of factors with <NA> levels now works
correctly again.
o Repainting of open X11 View() windows is now done whilst an
X11 dataentry window is in use.
o Indexing of data frames with NA column names and a numeric or
logical column index works again even if columns with NA names
are selected.
o on.exit() has been fixed to use lexical scope in determining
where to evaluate the exit action when the on.exit expression
appears in a function argument.
o rank() now consistently returns a double result for
ties.method = "average" and an integer result otherwise.
Previously the storage mode depended on 'na.last' and if any
NAs were present.
o The "lm" methods of add1(), and drop1() now also work on a model
fit with na.action = na.exclude.
o median(c(x = NA_real_)) no longer has spurious names().
o isoreg(x, y) now returns the correct result also when x has ties,
in all cases.
o What na.action() does is now correctly documented.
o source() with echo=TRUE now behaves like ordinary automatic
printing, by using methods::show() for S4 objects.
o Several bugs fixed in `?` with topics: it previously died trying
to construct some error messages; for S4 methods, class "ANY"
should be used for omitted arguments and default methods.
o trace() should create missing traceable classes in the global
environment, not in baseenv() where other classes will not be
found.
o Class inheritance using explicit coerce= methods via setIs()
failed to coerce the argument in method dispatch. With this
fixed, a mechanism was needed to prohibit such inheritance
when it would break the generic function (e.g.,
initialize). See ?setIs and ?setGeneric.
o RSiteSearch() encodes its query (it seems this is occasionally
needed on some platforms, but encoding other fields is harmful).
o 'incomparables' in match() was looking up indices in the wrong
table.
o write.dcf() did not escape "." according to Debian policy
(PR#12816).
o col2rgb() sometimes opened a graphics device unnecessarily, and
col2rgb(NA) did not return a transparent color, as documented.
o pdf(family="Japan") [and other CIDfonts] no longer seg.faults
when writing "western" text strings.
o as.list() applied to an environment now forces promises and
returns values.
o Promises capturing calls to sys.parent() and friends did not
work properly when evaluated via method dispatch for internal
S3 generics.
o The default pkgType option for non-CRAN builds of R on Mac OS X
is now correctly "source" as documented.
o The default R_LIBS_USER path in AQUA builds now matches the
Mac-specifc path used by the Mac GUI: ~/Library/R/x.y/library
o splinefun() with natural splines incorrectly evaluated derivatives
to the left of the first knot. (PR#13132, fix thanks to
Berwin Turlach)
o anova(glm(..., y=FALSE)) now works. (PR#13098)
o cut.Date(x, "weeks") could fail if x has only one unique value
which fell on a week boundary. (PR#13159)

Subject: Forthcoming R Conferences
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Dear useRs and developeRs,
I hope all attending useR! in Dortmund last week had as much a good
time as I had and a safe trip home. This email is to announce our
plans for forthcoming conferences. In 2009 there will be a useR! in
Rennes, France (July 8-10), directly followed by a DSC in Copenhagen,
Denmark (July 13-14).
We would like to have a useR! 2010 in North America, and 2011 in
Europe. Locations for 2010 and 2011 have not been fixed yet, but there
are already some plans. Proposals to host a conference are of course
more than welcome.
There have also been questions why 2009 is again in Europe. The main
reasons were:
a) we had a very good offer from Rennes, and (and at least almost one
year ago, when planning started) none from outside Europe
b) Having European useR!s in odd years will make it easier to set a
date: in even years there are the biannual Compstat conferences,
which together with all their satellite meetings block mid-August
to the beginning of September. In odd years on the other hand,
there is no regular big conference on computational statistics in
Europe.
So the basic plan is to be in Europe in odd years, and North America
in even years from now on. Either continent could of course be
replaced by one of the other 5 continents if we get a good
offer. Antarctica may be hard to get to, though ;-)
On behalf of the R Foundation,
Fritz Leisch

Subject: new version of e1071 on CRAN
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
A new version of e1071 has been released to CRAN which should be much
easier to install on a lot of platforms because reading/writing PNM
images has been moved to the pixmap package, hence there are no longer
dependencies on external libraries and no configure mechanism.
For the authors,
Fritz Leisch
**********************************************************
Changes in Version 1.2-0:
o Added functions for bagged clustering, see help(bclust).
o read.pnm() and write.pgm() have been removed from e1071, much
improved versions can now be found in the new package pixmap.
o Lots of documentation updates and bugfixes.
o Support Vector Machine interface now upgraded to libsvm V. 2.31
featuring:
- Multi-Class Classification
- weighting of classes for C-classification (for asymmetric sample sizes)
- nu-regression
- Formula Interface
- k-fold cross-validation
In addition, an introductory article is provided in directory
`docs/' (svmdoc.pdf).
o classAgreement now features an option to match factor levels
o updated API design for the fuzzy clustering functions
(cmeans, cshell, scaclust). Documentation updates and function
name changes (cmeanscl -> cmeans, validity.measures -> fclustIndex)

CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.13.2:
NEW FEATURES:
o mem.limits() now reports values larger than the maximum integer
(previously documented to be reported as NA), and allows larger
values to be set, including Inf to remove the limit.
o The print() methods for classes "Date", "POSIXct" and "POSIXlt"
respect the option "max.print" and so are much faster for very
long datetime vectors. (Suggestion of Yohan Chalabi.)
o untar2() now works around errors generated with tar files that
use more than the standard 6 digits for the checksum.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14654PR#14654)
o install.packages() with Ncpus > 1 guards against simultaneous
installation of indirect dependencies as well as direct ones.
o Sweave now knows about a few more Windows' encodings (including
cp1250 and cp1257) and some inputenx encodings such as koi8-r.
o postscript(colormodel = "rgb-nogray") no longer sets the sRGB
colorspace for each colour and so some viewers may render its
files much faster than the default colormodel ="rgb".
o The default for pdf(maxRasters=) has been increased from 64 to
1000.
o readBin() now warns if signed = FALSE is used inappropriately
(rather than being silently ignored).
It enforces the documented limit of 2^31-1 bytes in a single
call.
o PCRE has been updated to version 8.13, a bug-fix release with
updated Unicode tables (version 6.0.0). An additional patch (r611
from PCRE 8.20-to-be) has been added to fix a collation symbol
recognition issue.
INSTALLATION:
o It is possible to build in src/extra/xdr on more platforms.
(Needed since glibc 2.14 hides its RPC implementation.)
o configure will find the Sun TI-RPC implementation of xdr (in
libtirpc) provided its header files are in the search path: see
the 'R Installation and Administration Manual'.
PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
o Using a broad exportPattern directive in a NAMESPACE file is no
longer allowed to export internal objects such as .onLoad and
.__S3MethodsTable__. .
These are also excluded from imports, along with .First.lib.
BUG FIXES:
o fisher.test() had a buglet: If arguments were factors with unused
levels, levels were dropped and you would get an error saying
that there should be at least two levels, inconsistently with
pre-tabulated data. (Reported by Michael Fay).
o package.skeleton() will no longer dump S4 objects supplied
directly rather than in a code file. These cannot be restored
correctly from the dumped version.
o Build-time expressions in help files did not have access to
functions in the package being built (with R CMD build).
o Because quote() did not mark its result as being in use,
modification of the result could in some circumstances modify the
original call.
o Plotting pch = '.' now guarantees at least a one-pixel dot if cex
> 0.
o The very-rarely-used command-line option --max-vsize was
incorrectly interpreted as a number of Vcells and not in bytes as
documented. (Spotted by Christophe Rhodes.)
o The HTML generated by Rd2HTML() comes closer to being standards
compliant.
o filter(x, recursive = TRUE) gave incorrect results on a series
containing NAs. (Spotted by Bill Dunlap.)
o Profiling stats::mle() fits with a fixed parameter was not
supported.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14646PR#14646)
o retracemem() was still using positional matching.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14650PR#14650)
o The quantile method for "ecdf" objects now works and is
documented.
o xtabs(~ .., ..., sparse=TRUE) now also works together with an
exclude = .. specification.
o decompose() computed an incorrect seasonal component for time
series with odd frequencies.
o The pdf() device only includes the definition of the sRGB
colorspace in the output file for the "rgb" colormodel (and not
for "gray" nor "cmyk"): this saves ca 9KB in the output file.
o .hasSlot() wrongly gave FALSE in some cases.
o Sweave() with keep.source=TRUE could generate spurious NA lines
when a chunk reference appeared last in a code chunk.
o \Sexpr[results=rd] in an .Rd file now first tries
parse_Rd(fragment=FALSE) to allow Rd section-level macros to be
inserted.
o The print() method for class "summary.aov" did not pass on
arguments such as signif.stars when summary() was called on a
single object.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14684PR#14684)
o In rare cases ks.test() could return a p-value very slightly less
than 0 by rounding error.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14671PR#14671)
o If trunc() was called on a "POSIXlt" vector and the result was
subsetted, all but the first element was converted to NA.
(https://bugs.R-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14679PR#14679)
o cbind() and rbind() could cause memory corruption when used on a
combination of raw and logical/integer vectors.

Subject: R-announce moved from majordomo to [procmail+mailman]
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
I have moved the R-announce mailing list from the Majordomo
software to a combination of procmail & mailman an hour or so ago.
You find a link in the footer of this message giving an URL
where you can modify your subscription, look at the archives
(everything from the beginning in 1997) and more.
CHANGE: Postings to R-announce are now moderated, ie.
they have to be approved by a list maintainer
unless they come from one of a small set of R developers.
Note that *everyone* subscribed to R-help also gets R-announce
messages without a need to subscribe.
Notice that the "Sender:" field of these e-mails has changed
from owner-r-announce to r-announce-admin. Those who use
mail-filtering rules may wish to adapt.
We expect faster mail delivery and an easier user (and
maintainer!) interface. Feedback welcome, to me privately or R-help.
The R-help mailing list (and its "digest") version will move to
mailman too.

Subject: new package "vcd" 0.1-3
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Dear R users,
there is a new package on CRAN called `vcd' for visualizing categorical
data. It basically implements a set of visualization techniques together
with a large collection of data sets and examples from the book
"Visualizing Categorical Data" by Michael Friendly. By now the features
of the package essentially cover chapters 2-4 from the book:
o fitting and graphing discrete distributions:
goodness-of-fit tests for poisson, binomial and negative binomial
distribution; rootograms; Ord plots; poissonness plots.
o 2-way contingency tables:
improved fourfold displays (compared to base); trilinear plots;
sieve diagrams, agreement charts.
o mosaic displays for n-way tables:
improved mosaicplots (compared to base); mosaic matrices.
We work on extensions enhancing several functions so this is very much
work-in-progress, but we wanted to provide a first version which already
offers a lot of functionality. Furthermore we intend to implement
further visualization tools for categorical data, in particular for
loglinear models.
The DESCRIPTION of the package is given below.
Best wishes,
Achim Zeileis
Package: vcd
Version: 0.1-3

CHANGES IN R 4.0.1:
NEW FEATURES:
* paste() and paste0() gain a new optional argument recycle0. When
set to true, zero-length arguments are recycled leading to
character(0) after the sep-concatenation, i.e., to the empty
string "" if collapse is a string and to the zero-length value
character(0) when collapse = NULL.
A package whose code uses this should depend on R (>= 4.0.1).
* The summary(<warnings>) method now maps the counts correctly to
the warning messages.
BUG FIXES:
* aov(frml, ...) now also works where the formula deparses to more
than 500 characters, thanks to a report and patch proposal by Jan
Hauffa.
* Fix a dozen places (code, examples) as Sys.setlocale() returns
the new rather than the previous setting.
* Fix for adding two complex grid units via sum(). Thanks to Gu
Zuguang for the report and Thomas Lin Pedersen for the patch.
* Fix parallel::mclapply(..., mc.preschedule=FALSE) to handle raw
vector results correctly. PR#17779
* Computing the base value, i.e., 2, "everywhere", now uses
FLT_RADIX, as the original machar code looped indefinitely on the
ppc64 architecture for the longdouble case.
* In R 4.0.0, sort.list(x) when is.object(x) was true, e.g., for x
<- I(letters), was accidentally using method = "radix".
Consequently, e.g., merge(<data.frame>) was much slower than
previously; reported in PR#17794.
* plot(y ~ x, ylab = quote(y[i])) now works, as e.g., for xlab;
related to PR#10525.
* parallel::detect.cores(all.tests = TRUE) tries a matching OS name
before the other tests (which were intended only for unknown
OSes).
* Parse data for raw strings is now recorded correctly. Reported by
Gabor Csardi.

Subject: gss 0.6-2
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
A new release of gss (0.6-2) is available at CRAN. Support is added
in gssanova for accelerated life models with right-censored,
left-truncated data. The added families are weibull, log normal, and
log logistic, extending the parametric models of survreg in the
survival package.

Subject: Windows binary for R 1.6.1 FIXED
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
To Windows R users:
The binary build of R that I uploaded on Tuesday contained errors in
the compiled HTML help files and some of the PDF versions of the
manuals. In particular, the index was missing from the CHM files, and
the table of contents was missing from at least one of the manuals.
I've since found the error in my setup, and have rebuilt the
distribution. I uploaded it to CRAN this afternoon; it will likely
propagate to all of the mirrors over the weekend.
Before you download it, please make sure that you see the note on the
download page about the correction (otherwise you may be downloading
the original version).
The URL is <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base>.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused.
