./math/R, Statistical language for data analysis and graphics

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.11.1, Package name: R-2.11.1, Maintainer: markd

R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language
developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a
variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true
computer language which contains a number of control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. On
platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C
code can be linked and called at run time.

R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical.
Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.

Log message:
"fortran" -> "fortran77" except where it is clear that it \ 
isn't F77.
"fortran" is alias of "fortran77" for now, but it will \ 
change later.

Log message:
Changes 2.11.1:

* R CMD INSTALL checks if dependent packages are available early on
* in the installation of source packages, thereby giving clearer
  error messages.
* R CMD INSTALL --build now names the file in the format used
  for Mac OS X binary files on that platform.
* BIC() in package stats4 now also works with multiple fitted models,
  analogously to AIC().
* Use of file extension .C for C++ code in packages is now
  deprecated: it has caused problems for some 'make's on
  case-insensitive file systems (although it currently works
  with the recommended toolkits).
* The C function mkCharLenCE now no longer reads past 'len' bytes
  (unlikely to be a problem except in user code).
* On systems without any default LD_LIBRARY_PATH (not even
  /usr/local/lib), [DY]LIB_LIBRARY_PATH is now set without a trailing colon.
* More efficient utf8ToInt() on long multi-byte strings with
  many multi-byte characters.
* aggregate.ts() gave platform-depedent results due to rounding
  error for ndeltat != 1.
* package.skeleton() sometimes failed to fix filenames for .R or
  .Rd files to start with an alphanumeric.

Log message:
Bump PKGREVISION for libpng shlib name change.
Also add some patches to remove use of deprecated symbols and fix other
problems when looking for or compiling against libpng-1.4.x.

Log message:
Changes 2.11.0:
* Packages must have been installed under R >= 2.10.0, as the
  current help system is the only one now supported.
* A port to 64-bit Windows is now available as well as binary package
  repositiories: see the 'R Administration and Installation Manual'.
* Argument matching for primitive functions is now done in the same way
  as for interpreted functions except for the deliberate exceptions
	call switch .C .Fortran .Call .External
  all of which use positional matching for their first argument,
  and also some internal-use-only primitives.
* The default device for command-line R at the console on Mac OS X
  is now quartz() and not X11().

New features
* The 'open' modes for connections are now interpreted more consistently.
* R CMD INSTALL now uses the internal untar() in package utils.
* help(try.all.packages = TRUE) is much faster.
* R CMD check has a new option '--timings' to record per-example timings
  in file <pkg>.Rcheck/<pkg>-Ex.timings.
* The TRE library has been updated to version 0.8.0 (minor bugfixes).

Log message:
Changes 2.10.1:
* The PCRE library has been updated to version 8.00.
* R CMD INSTALL has new options --no-R, --no-libs, --no-data,
  --no-help, --no-demo, --no-exec, and --no-inst to suppress
  installation of the specified part of the package.
* The documented line-length limit of 4095 bytes when reading
  from the console now also applies also to parse(file="")
  (which previously had a limit of around 1024 bytes).
* A Bioconductor mirror can be set for use by setRepositories()
  via the option "BioC_mirror".
* Double-clicking in a tk_select.list() list box now selects the item
  and closes the list box (as happens on the Windows select.list() widget).
* configure will be able to find a usable libtiff in some rare
  circumstances where it did not previously (where libtiff
  needed to be linked explicitly against -ljpeg).
* Making refman.pdf works around a problem with the indexing
  with hyperref 6.79d and later.
* The 'extended' argument is deprecated in strsplit(), grep(),
  grepl(), sub(), gsub(), regexpr() and gregexpr() (not just the
  value extended = FALSE) and will be removed in R 2.11.0.
* bug fixes

Log message:
Changes 2.10.0:
* Package help is now converted from Rd by the R-based converters
  that were first introduced in 2.9.0.
* HTML help is now generated dynamically using an HTTP server
  running in the R process and listening on the loopback interface.
* polygon(), pdf() and postscript() now have a parameter
  'fillOddEven' (default FALSE), which controls the mode used for
  polygon fills of self-intersecting shapes.
* New debugonce() function; further,
  getOption("deparse.max.lines") is now observed when debugging.
* plot() methods for "stepfun" and hence "ecdf" no longer plot
  points by default for n >= 1000.
* [g]sub(*, perl=TRUE) now also supports '\E' in order to *end*
  \U and \L case changes, thanks to a patch from Bill Dunlap.
* factor(), `levels<-`(), etc, now ensure that the resulting factor
  levels are unique (as was always the implied intention).  Factors
  with duplicated levels are still constructible by low-level means,
  but are now declared illegal.
* New print() (S3) method for class "function", also used for
  auto-printing.  Further, .Primitive functions now print and
  auto-print identically.
* The print() and toLatex() methods for class "sessionInfo" now
  show the locale in a nicer format and have arguments to
  suppress locale information.
* In addition to previously only round(), there are other 'Math'
  group (S3) methods for 'difftime', such as floor(), signif(), abs(), etc.
* For completeness, old.packages() and available.packages() allow
  'type' to be specified (you could always specify 'available'
  or 'contriburl').
