Update to R 3.3.1 is now available for Windows
Windows users can now easily upgrade it to the latest version of R using the installer package provided by R. Running the following codes in R gui will do the trick.
install.packages("installr") # install
setInternet2(TRUE) # only for R versions older than 3.3.0
installr::updateR() # updating R.
“updater()” command detects whether any new version of R is available or not, if it’s available then it automatically download and install it .If still CRAN shows older version for update then preferably opt for changing your mirror or else try after some time, it takes at least 24 hours to get an updated version on CRAN.
Changes in R 3.3.1
Following are the list of all the bugs fixed in this version.
-
R CMD INSTALL and hence install.packages() gave an internal error installing a package called description from a tarball on a case-insensitive file system.
-
match(x, t) (and hence x %in% t) failed when x was of length one, and either character and x and t only differed in their Encoding or when x and t where complex with NAs or NaNs.
-
unloadNamespace(ns) also works again when ns is a ‘namespace’, as from getNamespace().
-
rgamma(1,Inf) or rgamma(1, 0,0) no longer give NaN but the correct limit.
-
length(baseenv()) is correct now.
-
pretty(d, ..) for date-time d rarely failed when "halfmonth" time steps were tried and on ‘inaccurate’ platforms such as 32-bit windows or a configuration with --disable-long-double; see comment #15 of.
-
In text.default(x, y, labels), the rarely(?) used default for labels is now correct also for the case of a 2-column matrix x and missing y.
-
as.factor(c(a = 1L)) preserves names() again as in R < 3.1.0.
-
strtrim(""[0], 0[0]) now works.
-
Use of Ctrl-C to terminate a reverse incremental search started by Ctrl-R in the readline-based Unix terminal interface is now supported forreadline >= 6.3 (Ctrl-G always worked).
-
diff() now keeps the "units" attribute, as subtraction already did,
The updated list of bugs fixed has been taken from the Official R blog.
