Dear R-helpers, We have recently upgraded from R-3.3.1 to R-3.5.2.
It seems there has been a change in behaviour of `lapply` and the `POSIXlt` class that I cannot find explicitly documented. In R-3.3.1: > lapply(as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()), length) $sec [1] 1 $min [1] 1 $hour [1] 1 $mday [1] 1 $mon [1] 1 $year [1] 1 $wday [1] 1 $yday [1] 1 $isdst [1] 1 whereas, in R-3.5.2: > lapply(as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()), length) [[1]] [1] 1 Is this change in behaviour intentional? Realistically, I cannot see anything documented to say that `lapply` should behave as per R-3.3.1 on a `POSIXlt` object, so it is/was perhaps unwise to rely on it. Best wishes, Paul Newell ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
