The build system rolled up R-4.6.1.tar.gz and .xz (codename “Happy Hop") this morning.
This is a patch release with a handful of minor changes and fixups. 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-4.6.1.tar.gz https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.6.1.tar.xz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.

Bug Fixes: • abbreviate(<non-ASCII>) now works better, using iswlower() and *upper() to treat “wide” characters, thanks to Kevin's PR#19058. • cut(1:11, {}) now signals an error for the invalid breaks, fixing PR#19057, thanks to Kevin Ushey. • all(<symbol>) signals an error now, as some similar coercions; previously, the coercion of the symbol resulted in NULL internally, raised a warning, and could access illegal memory; thanks to Kevin Ushey's PR#19054. • stl() now checks its 3 x 3 tuning parameters on the R level; stl(*, s.window = 0) now “works” instead dumping core, stl(*, s.window = 1) “works” correctly, too. Also, the summary() method mentions the robustness weights only if any robustness iterations happened. Further, stl() is now based on C code, translated from previous Fortran, triggered by a flang 22 compiler optimization bug (-O2). • The border case zapsmall(x, digits=Inf) where x contains an Inf entry no longer returns all NaN but rather x. The improved help page now has more non-default examples. • wilcox.test(x, exact=FALSE, correct = k)'s p-value computation got a missing dnorm(z) factor, and so did the 2-sample case, in addition to more fixes. • The data part of getGenerics() listed package names for generic functions defined in more than one package. Now it lists generic function names, as intended. Thanks to Michael Chirico for report and patch proposal (PR#19080). • Overly long dyn.load() error messages (C level dlerror()), should no longer corrupt its state, thanks to Ivan Krylov's PR#19029 report and patch. • as.matrix(<POSIXlt>) again produces a _numeric_ matrix, and the c() and subassignment methods for POSIXlt objects work correctly more often, e.g., without a "tzone" attribute, back porting a few of the PR#18989 fixes from R-devel, both thanks to Suharto Anggono. • In methods, as() now correctly coerces S4 objects to S4 superclasses extending old-style classes, instead of returning only the S3 part. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: [email protected] Priv: [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-announce ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
