| 25 | +Subject: [Rd] R 4.4.3 is released |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The build system rolled up R-4.4.3.tar.gz (codename "Trophy Case") this morning. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +This is intended to be the round-up release of the 4.4.x series. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +It also happens to be as close as we can get to celebrating 25 years since R-1.0.0. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The list below details the changes in this release. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +You can get the source code from |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.3.tar.gz |
| 39 | +https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.4.3.tar.xz |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site nearer to you. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course. |
| 44 | + |

| 93 | + |
| 94 | +This is the relevant part of the NEWS file |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +CHANGES IN R 4.4.3: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | + INSTALLATION: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | + * R can be installed using C23 (for example with -std=gnu23 or |
| 101 | + -std=gnu2x) with recent compilers including gcc 12-14, Apple |
| 102 | + clang 15-16, LLVM clang 17-20 and Intel icx 2024.2. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + It can be installed with the upcoming (at the time of writing) |
| 105 | + gcc 15, which defaults to C23. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + C-LEVEL FACILITIES: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | + * The functions R_strtod and R_atof now allow hexadecimal constants |
| 110 | + without an exponent, for compatibility with their C99 versions |
| 111 | + (PR#18805). |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | + UTILITIES: |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + * R CMD build and R CMD check now allow reference output for demo |
| 116 | + scripts (demo/<demo>.Rout.save files) to be shipped with the |
| 117 | + package, as proposed by Torsten Hothorn in PR#18816. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + BUG FIXES: |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | + * kappa(A, exact=TRUE) for singular A returns Inf more generally, |
| 122 | + fixing PR#18817 reported by Mikael Jagan. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + * Fixed URLs of the sun spots (sunspot.month etc) data sets and |
| 125 | + mention future changes due to recalibration. |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | + * The parser now accepts hexadecimal constants with a decimal point |
| 128 | + without an exponent (taken as p0) as documented in |
| 129 | + ?NumericConstants (PR#18819). |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | + * rbind() now works correctly when inputs include a raw vector and |
| 132 | + a logical, integer or double vector - previously the inclusion of |
| 133 | + the latter was garbled. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | + * smooth.spline() checks validity of its arguments df.offset and |
| 136 | + penalty: it could segfault if they were NULL. |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | + * isGeneric(<primitive>, fdef=*, getName=TRUE) now also returns the |
| 139 | + name instead of just TRUE, fixing PR#18829 reported by Mikael |
| 140 | + Jagan. |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | + * isGeneric(fdef = print) now works, fixing PR#18369 thanks to |
| 143 | + Mikael Jagan. |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | + * sort(x, method = "qsort") made illegal accesses when x has length |
| 146 | + 0. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | + * dir.create() is protected against being passed an empty string as |
| 149 | + its path argument. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | + * Silent integer overflow could occur in the 'exact' computations |
| 152 | + for fisher.test() for unrealistic inputs: this is now an error. |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | + * Some invalid C-level memory accesses are avoided for loglin(, |
| 155 | + margin = NULL). |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | + loglin(, param = TRUE) no longer gives an error in corner cases |
| 158 | + such as a one-dimensional input. |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | + * dev.capabilities() $ events now reports "Idle" if the device |
| 161 | + provides it, fixing PR#18836, thanks to Trevor Davis. |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | + * arima(.., seasonal = <wrong-vector>) correctly errors now, ditto |
| 164 | + for arima0(), thanks to Norbert Kuder's report on the R-devel |
| 165 | + list. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | + * binomial(<link>)$linkinv(eta) and .. $mu.eta(eta) now also work |
| 168 | + for "logit" link when is.integer(eta). |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | + * as.roman(x) now should work platform independently, also for, |
| 171 | + e.g., x = "IIIII" (= V) and x = "IIIIII" (= VI). |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | + * R CMD Rd2pdf works again on an installed package directory |
| 174 | + containing LaTeX help (from option --latex), thanks to a report |
| 175 | + by Peter Ruckdeschel. |
