The R Core Team is announcing that R with version number 3.2.1 / 3.2.2-prerelease is already available to download.
What is R ?
R is A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics .
R started as an alternative (different implementation) of Bell Laboratories’ S language, but has grown into its own form and gained its separate followers.It compiles and runs on all major OSes.
This is changelog for R version 3.2.1 / 3.2.2-prerelease :
- source() now uses withVisible() rather than .Internal(eval.with.vis). This sometimes alters tracebacks slightly.
- install.packages(“pkg_version.tgz”) on Mac OS X now has sanity checks that this is actually a binary package (as people have tried it with incorrectly named source packages).
- splineDesign() and spline.des() in package splines have a new option sparse which can be used for efficient construction of a sparse B-spline design matrix (via Matrix).
- norm() now allows type = “2” (the ‘spectral’ or 2-norm) as well, mainly for didactical completeness.
