Log message:
(math/R-gdata) Updated 2.18.0 to 2.19.0, make test passed
Changes in 2.19.0 (2023-05-06)
------------------------------
New functions:
- Added update.data.frame() to replace rows of a data frame.
New features:
- Added argument 'add.col.nums' to left() and right().
Other changes:
- Improved ll() so it handles S4 objects. Also accepts unit="GB" \
(contributed by
Michael Chirico) and unit="B", now case-insensitive.
- Improved right() so it returns the rightmost columns of a matrix or data
frame.
- Renamed first two arguments of startsWith() to 'x' and 'prefix'.
- Removed elem() - was deprecated in gregmisc/gdata 2.0.3 (2005-02-25).
- Excel file support is now deprecated, to be removed in the near future. At the
user level, the functions installXLSXsupport(), read.xls(), sheetCount(),
sheetNames(), xls2csv(), xls2sep(), xls2tab(), xls2tsv(), and xlsFormats() now
raise a warning about the functionality being deprecated. Excel file support
was first introduced in gregmisc/gdata 1.11.0 back in 2004, but today we have
packages such as openxlsx, readxl, XLConnect, and xlsx offering dedicated
Excel file support with more features. When Excel file support will be removed
from the gdata package, it will result in lighter package maintenance and no
more Perl warnings on the user side.
- Package maintainer is Arni Magnusson.
