CHANGES IN R 3.3.3
NEW FEATURES
Changes when redirection of a http:// URL to a https:// URL is encountered:
The internal methods of download.file() and url() now report that they \
cannot follow this (rather than failing silently).
(Unix-alike) download.file(method = "auto") (the default) \
re-tries with method = "libcurl".
(Unix-alike) url(method = "default") with an explicit open \
argument re-tries with method = "libcurl". This covers many of the \
usages, e.g. readLines() with a URL argument.
INSTALLATION on a UNIX-ALIKE
The configure check for the zlib version is now robust to versions longer \
than 5 characters, including 1.2.11.
UTILITIES
Environmental variable _R_CHECK_TESTS_NLINES_ controls how R CMD check \
reports failing tests (see §8 of the âR Internalsâ manual).
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT
(C-level Native routine registration.) The undocumented styles field of the \
components of R_CMethodDef and R_FortranMethodDef is deprecated.
BUG FIXES
vapply(x, *) now works with long vectors x. (PR#17174)
isS3method("is.na.data.frame") and similar are correct now. (PR#17171)
grepRaw(<long>, <short>, fixed = TRUE) now works, thanks to a \
patch by Mikko Korpela. (PR#17132)
Package installation into a library where the package exists via symbolic \
link now should work wherever Sys.readlink() works, resolving PR#16725.
"Cincinnati" was missing an "n" in the precip dataset.
Fix buffer overflow vulnerability in pdf() when loading an encoding file. \
Reported by Talos (TALOS-2016-0227).
getDLLRegisteredRoutines() now produces its warning correctly when multiple \
DLLs match, thanks to Matt Dowle's PR#17184.
Sys.timezone() now returns non-NA also on platforms such as Ubuntu 14.04.5 \
LTS, thanks to Mikko Korpela's PR#17186.
format(x) for an illegal "POSIXlt" object x no longer segfaults.
methods(f) now also works for f "(" or "{".
(Windows only) dir.create() did not check the length of the path to create, \
and so could overflow a buffer and crash R. (PR#17206)
On some systems, very small hexadecimal numbers in hex notation would \
underflow to zero. (PR#17199)
pmin() and pmax() now work again for ordered factors and 0-length S3 classed \
objects, thanks to Suharto Anggono's PR#17195 and PR#17200.
bug.report() did not do any validity checking on a package's BugReports \
field. It now ignores an empty field, removes leading whitespace and only \
attempts to open http:// and https:// URLs, falling back to emailing the \
maintainer.
Bandwidth selectors bw.ucv() and bw.SJ() gave incorrect answers or \
incorrectly reported an error (because of integer overflow) for inputs longer \
than 46341. Similarly for bw.bcv() at length 5793.
Another possible integer overflow is checked and may result in an error \
report (rather than an incorrect result) for much longer inputs (millions for a \
smooth distribution).
findMethod() failed if the active signature had expanded beyond what a \
particular package used. (Example with packages XR and XRJulia on CRAN.)
qbeta() underflowed too early in some very asymmetric cases. (PR#17178)
R CMD Rd2pdf had problems with packages with non-ASCII titles in \
â.Rdâ files (usually the titles were omitted).

Update to 3.3.2
Upstream changes:
CHANGES IN R 3.3.2:
NEW FEATURES:
* extSoftVersion() now reports the version (if any) of the readline
library in use.
* The version of LAPACK included in the sources has been updated to
3.6.1, a bug-fix release including a speedup for the
non-symmetric case of eigen().
* Use options(deparse.max.lines=) to limit the number of lines
recorded in .Traceback and other deparsing activities.
* format(<AsIs>) looks more regular, also for non-character atomic
matrices.
* abbreviate() gains an option named = TRUE.
* The online documentation for package methods is extensively
rewritten. The goals are to simplify documentation for basic
use, to note old features not recommended and to correct
out-of-date information.
* Calls to setMethod() no longer print a message when creating a
generic function in those cases where that is natural: S3
generics and primitives.
INSTALLATION and INCLUDED SOFTWARE:
* Versions of the readline library >= 6.3 had been changed so that
terminal window resizes were not signalled to readline: code has
been added using a explicit signal handler to work around that
(when R is compiled against readline >= 6.3). (PR#16604)
* configure works better with Oracle Developer Studio 12.5.
UTILITIES:
* R CMD check reports more dubious flags in files
src/Makevars[.in], including -w and -g.
* R CMD check has been set up to filter important warnings from
recent versions of gfortran with -Wall -pedantic: this now
reports non-portable GNU extensions such as out-of-order
declarations.
* R CMD config works better with paths containing spaces, even
those of home directories (as reported by Ken Beath).
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT:
* Use of the C/C++ macro NO_C_HEADERS is deprecated (no C headers
are included by R headers from C++ as from R 3.3.0, so it should
no longer be needed).
BUG FIXES:
* The check for non-portable flags in R CMD check could be stymied
by src/Makevars files which contained targets.
* (Windows only) When using certain desktop themes in Windows 7 or
higher, Alt-Tab could cause Rterm to stop accepting input.
(PR#14406; patch submitted by Jan Gleixner.)
* pretty(d, ..) behaves better for date-time d (PR#16923).
* When an S4 class name matches multiple classes in the S4 cache,
perform a dynamic search in order to obey namespace imports.
This should eliminate annoying messages about multiple hits in
the class cache. Also, pass along the package from the
ClassExtends object when looking up superclasses in the cache.
* sample(NA_real_) now works.
* Packages using non-ASCII encodings in their code did not install
data properly on systems using different encodings.
* merge(df1, df2) now also works for data frames with column names
"na.last", "decreasing", or "method". (PR#17119)
* contour() caused a segfault if the labels argument had length
zero. (Reported by Bill Dunlap.)
* unique(warnings()) works more correctly, thanks to a new
duplicated.warnings() method.
* findInterval(x, vec = numeric(), all.inside = TRUE) now returns
0s as documented. (Reported by Bill Dunlap.)
* (Windows only) R CMD SHLIB failed when a symbol in the resulting
library had the same name as a keyword in the .def file.
(PR#17130)
* pmax() and pmin() now work with (more ?) classed objects, such
as "Matrix" from the Matrix package, as documented for a long
time.
* axis(side, x = D) and hence Axis() and plot() now work correctly
for "Date" and time objects D, even when "time goes \
backward",
e.g., with decreasing xlim. (Reported by William May.)
* str(I(matrix(..))) now looks as always intended.
* plot.ts(), the plot() method for time series, now respects cex,
lwd and lty. (Reported by Greg Werbin.)
* parallel::mccollect() now returns a named list (as documented)
when called with wait = FALSE. (Reported by Michel Lang.)
* If a package added a class to a class union in another package,
loading the first package gave erroneous warnings about
"undefined subclass".
* c()'s argument use.names is documented now, as belonging to the
(C internal) default method. In "parallel", argument recursive
is also moved from the generic to the default method, such that
the formal argument list of base generic c() is just (...).
* rbeta(4, NA) and similarly rgamma() and rnbinom() now return
NaN's with a warning, as other r<dist>(), and as documented.
(PR#17155)
* Using options(checkPackageLicense = TRUE) no longer requires
acceptance of the licence for non-default standard packages such
as compiler. (Reported by Mikko Korpela.)
* split(<very_long>, *) now works even when the split off parts are
long. (PR#17139)
* min() and max() now also work correctly when the argument list
starts with character(0). (PR#17160)
* Subsetting very large matrices (prod(dim(.)) >= 2^31) now works
thanks to Michael Schubmehl's PR#17158.
* bartlett.test() used residual sums of squares instead of
variances, when the argument was a list of lm objects. (Reported
by Jens Ledet Jensen).
* plot(<lm>, which = *) now correctly labels the contour lines for
the standardized residuals for which = 6. It also takes the
correct p in case of singularities (also for which = 5).
(PR#17161)
* xtabs(~ exclude) no longer fails from wrong scope, thanks to
Suharto Anggono's PR#17147.
* Reference class calls to methods() did not re-analyse previously
defined methods, meaning that calls to methods defined later
would fail. (Reported by Charles Tilford).
* findInterval(x, vec, left.open = TRUE) misbehaved in some cases.
(Reported by Dmitriy Chernykh.)
