Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.8.3, Package name: R-stringi-1.8.3, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

stringi (pronounced "stringy") is the R package for fast, correct,
consistent and convenient string/text processing in each locale and
any native character encoding. The use of the ICU library gives R
users a platform-independent set of functions known to Java, Perl,
Python, PHP, and Ruby programmers.


Required to run:
[textproc/icu] [math/R]

(textproc/R-stringi) Updated 1.7.12 to 1.8.3, make test does not pass

## 1.8.3 (2023-12-10)

## [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] Fixed the *format string is not a string literal
  (potentially insecure)* warnings.

## 1.8.2 (2023-11-22)

* [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] #501: Fixed failing build on 32-bit Windows
  (Windows API `ResolveLocaleName` function not available).

* [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] #502: `PKG_CPPFLAGS` are now considered
  before other `CPPFLAGS` (the same with other flag types) in
  the `configure` script to make it compatible with what happens in `Makevars`.

* [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] Support for ICU's `double` conversion on Loongarch
    has been restored (see #463).

## 1.8.1 (2023-11-09)

* [GENERAL] ICU bundle updated to version 74.1 (Unicode 15.1, CLDR 44).

* [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] [BUILD TIME] Support for Solaris has now been
  dropped. The package is no longer shipped with the very outdated ICU55 bundle.
  A compiler supporting at least C++11 as well as ICU >= 61 are now required.

* [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] #469: Missing date-time fields in
  `stri_datetime_parse` and `stri_datetime_create` now default to today's
  midnight local time.

* [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] Removed the long-deprecated and defunct
  `fallback_encoding` parameter of `stri_read_lines` and the ellipsis
  parameter of `stri_opts_collator`, `stri_opts_regex`, `stri_opts_fixed`,
  `stri_opts_brkiter`, and `stri_opts_regex`.

* [BUILD TIME] As per the suggestion of Prof. Brian Ripley, `icudt74l`
  (ICU data - little endian) is now included in the source tarball (compressed
  with xz to save space). This allows for building **`stringi`** on systems with
  no internet access.

* [NEW FEATURE] #476: In break iterator-, date-time-, and collator-based
  operations (e.g., `stri_sort`), a warning is emitted when the *root* ICU
  resource bundle is returned when using an *explicitly* requested locale.
  This might happen when we pass an 'unknown' `locale` argument to these
  functions. Note that when relying on the default `locale=NULL` argument,
  no warning is emitted. In such a case, checking
  if the default locale as returned by `stri_enc_get` is amongst
  those listed in `stri_enc_list` is recommended.

* [NEW FEATURE] The `C` locale identifier now resolves to `en_US_POSIX`.

* [BUGFIX] #469: `stri_datetime_parse` did not reset the `Calendar`
  object when parsing multiple dates.

* [BUGFIX] #487: Some functions did not accept ASCII strings longer than
  858993457 characters on input.

*: recursive bump for icu 74.1

Log message:
(textproc/R-stringi) Updated 1.7.6 to 1.7.12

## 1.7.12 (2023-01-09)

* [BUGFIX] Fixed some potential problems reported by `rchk`.

* [NOTE] [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE IF ICU >= 72]
  If building against ICU >= 72,
  note a backward incompatible change: `@` is no longer a word break;
  see <https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/pull/2256> for more details.

## 1.7.8 (2022-07-11)

* [DOCUMENTATION] Paper on *stringi* has been published in
    the *Journal of Statistical Software*;
    see <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v103.i02>.

* [BUGFIX] #473, #397: Fixed buffer overflow in `stri_dup`.
    `stri_dup`, `stri_paste`, ... fail more graciously on attempts to
    generate strings of length >= 2^31 each.

* [BUILD TIME] #480: Using `Rf_isNull` instead of `isNull`.

* [DOCUMENTATION] #462: That the `numeric=TRUE` collator
    does not handle negative numbers correctly is now mentioned in the manual.
