R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
as.matrix(dd)
now works when the data framedd
contains a data frame as column.Sys.timezone()
tries more ways on Unix-alikes and so is more likely to succeed (especially on Linux).str(x)
for atomic objectsx
now treats both cases ofis.vector(x)
similarly, and hence much less prints"atomic"
. This is a slight non-back compatible change producing typically both more informative and shorter output.R CMD INSTALL <pkg>
now produces the intended error message when, e.g., theLazyData
field is invalid.
