[R] R 4.5.3 is released

[Peter Dalgaard]

The build system rolled up R-4.5.3.tar.gz and .xz (codename “Reassured Reassurer") this morning.

This is a patch release with a handful of minor changes and fixups, intended to be the wrap-up release for R-4.5.x.

The list below details the changes in this release. 

You can get the source code from

https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/R-4.5.3.tar.gz

Binaries for various platforms will appear in due course.

CHANGES IN R 4.5.3:

  UTILITIES:

    • tools/fetch-recommended can be used instead of
      tools/rsync-recommended to fetch recommended packages into R
      sources using curl on systems without rsync or behind firewalls.

  PACKAGE INSTALLATION:

    • C++ standard specifications (CXX_STD = in src/Makevars* and in
      the SystemRequirements field of the DESCRIPTION file) are now
      checked more thoroughly.  Invalid values are still ignored but
      now give a warning, as do contradictory specifications.

    • (Preliminary) support for C++26 has been extended to Windows.

    • A non-zero exit status from cleanup, cleanup.win or cleanup.ucrt,
      if requested via options --clean or --preclean, is now reported
      with a warning.

  BUG FIXES:

    • all.equal(obj, simple, check.class=FALSE) now is true, also when
      simple is a bare atomic vector and obj has a simple class, fixing
      the first part of PR#18971 thanks to Jan Gorecki.

    • str(x, give.attr=FALSE) no longer shows attributes when x is a
      zero length "Date" or "POSIXt" object.

    • Tweaks to binning for bw.SJ() and bw.ucv() in the very rare case
      of data which have an extremely small range compared to their
      absolute values, e.g., x <- 6e9 + 6:9.

    • Formatting book-type bibentry objects now converts LaTeX accents
      also in the publisher and series fields.

    • model.frame(~1, list(), na.action=na.pass) and similar
      “border-line” uses no longer produce invalid data frames, fixing
      PR#18977, reported with patch by Mikael Jagan.

    • length(<POSIXlt>) <- v is more careful about balancing, notably
      when v is not integer, thanks to Suharto Anggono's remarks on the
      mailing list R-devel.

    • approx(<x_with_ties>, <y_with_NA>, na.rm = FALSE) now should
      always call the ties() function, fixing PR#17604 reported by Bill
      Dunlap.

    • besselJ(1, 1e-15) and similar now give correct results, thanks to
      Leo Mada and other “R-help”ers.

    • vignette(<pkg>::<topic>) is now a documented usage variant and
      confines vignette retrieval to the specified package.

    • pretty(ch) again correctly works with ch a character vector of
      numbers.

    • persp() labels the three axes correctly also when C level
      atan2pi() is available, fixing PR#19007 by Klaus Schliep.

    • Large (tall) subscripts in plotmath expressions are now
      positioned correctly.  They were being positioned too high.

    • Ops group (Arith, Compare,..) methods for matrix-"ts" now do
      return (zero length) matrices even when the two series do not
      overlap, a very partial fix of PR#18972 which is to be fully
      addressed later.
