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).
