I've rolled up R-1.6.1.tgz a short while ago. This is a minor upgrade, fixing an assortment of minor bugs, and one major one: 1.6.0 introduced a memory leak in deparsing, causing much trouble for people running simulations. You can get it from the developer site at http://cvs.r-project.org/pub/CRAN/src/base/R-1.6.1.tgz or wait for it to be mirrored at a CRAN site near you. Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course. There is also a version split for floppies, but due to the inclusion of recommended packages as binary .tar.gz files, I'm no longer providing a patch file. For the R Core Team, Peter D. Here's the relevant part of the NEWS file: CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.6.1 NEW FEATURES o Added a few "trivial and obviously missing" functions to tcltk: tkchooseDirectory, tkpopup, tkdialog, tkread o barplot() has a new argument `axis.lty', which if set to 1 allows the pre-1.6.0 behaviour of plotting the axis and tick marks for the categorical axis. (This was apparently not intentional, but axis() used to ignore lty=0.) The argument `border' is no longer ".NotYetUsed". BUG FIXES o hist(<datetime>, cex.axis = f) now works for x-axis too. o prompt() gave wrong \usage{.} for long argument default expressions. o summary(x) gives more information when `x' is a logical (or a data frame with a logical column which is now quite customary). o seq.POSIXt(from, to, length.out= . ) could give too long results o summaryRprof() was counting nested calls to the same function twice. o Printing of objects of mode "expression" did strange things if there were "%" characters in the deparsed expression (PR#2120). o as.matrix.data.frame converted missings to "NA" not character NA. (PR#2130) o spec.pgram() was only interpolating zero freq for one series. (PR#2123) o help(randu) had % unescaped in the example. (PR#2141) o Making html links would fail if packages-head.html was not writeable. (PR#2133) o Sweave.sty was not installed to $R_HOME/share/texmf when builddir != srcdir. On Windows backslashes in latex paths have to be replaced by slashes. o A memory leak in deparsing was introduced when eliminating static variables (thanks to Achim Zeileis for spotting this). A similar problem in loading workspaces has been corrected. o TclInterface.Rd incorrectly used \synopsis for \usage so that the usage section wasn't output. o Readline stack off-by-one error. (PR#2165) o R_ExpandFileName had a memory leak in the case libreadline was used under Unix-alikes. o sys.save.image() now closes all connections so it will work even if the connection list has become full. o loess() had an unstated limit of four predictors: this is now documented and enforced. o ${R_HOME}/etc/Renviron.site is now not read if R_ENVIRON is set, as documented. Previously it was read unless R_ENVIRON pointed to an actual file. o Startup.Rd described the proceesing under Unix-alikes but incorrectly implied it happened that way on the Windows and MacOS ports. Neither use Renviron.site, for example. o besselK(x,*) now returns 0 instead of Inf for large x. (PR#2179) o The Tcl console code didn't work with Tcl/TK 8.0, and has been #ifdef'd out. (PR#2090) o format.AsIs() was not handling matrices. o sd() was not passing na.rm to var() for matrices and data frames. o dist() {mva} silently treated +/-Inf as NA. o setwd() now returns NULL invisibly. o basename() and dirname() did not check the length of their input and ignored elements after the first. This affected undoc {tools}. o If A had dimnames, eigen(A) had inappropriate dimnames. (PR#2116) o as.POSIXct.dates had a sign error for the origin (PR#2222) o The claim that pie charts should be avoiden (in pie.Rd) is now supported by a quote from Cleveland (1985). o The vsnprintf() functions supplied for systems that don't supply their own had a bug in the output of fractional parts, corrupting data if using save() with ascii=TRUE. (PR#2144) o pretty() values close to 0 in some cases which are now 0 (PR#1032 and D.Brahm's mails). BUILD ISSUES o Toplevel Makefile was missing dependency of "docs" on "R" (causing parallel makes to go wrong) o When building with recommended packages those were installed into the first path in R_LIBS, if the environment variable was present. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
