91+
92+
This is the relevant part of the NEWS file
93+
94+
CHANGES IN R 4.5.3:
95+
96+
UTILITIES:
97+
98+
? tools/fetch-recommended can be used instead of
99+
tools/rsync-recommended to fetch recommended packages into R
100+
sources using curl on systems without rsync or behind firewalls.
101+
102+
PACKAGE INSTALLATION:
103+
104+
? C++ standard specifications (CXX_STD = in src/Makevars* and in
105+
the SystemRequirements field of the DESCRIPTION file) are now
106+
checked more thoroughly. Invalid values are still ignored but
107+
now give a warning, as do contradictory specifications.
108+
109+
? (Preliminary) support for C++26 has been extended to Windows.
110+
111+
? A non-zero exit status from cleanup, cleanup.win or cleanup.ucrt,
112+
if requested via options --clean or --preclean, is now reported
113+
with a warning.
114+
115+
BUG FIXES:
116+
117+
? all.equal(obj, simple, check.class=FALSE) now is true, also when
118+
simple is a bare atomic vector and obj has a simple class, fixing
119+
the first part of PR#18971 thanks to Jan Gorecki.
120+
121+
? str(x, give.attr=FALSE) no longer shows attributes when x is a
122+
zero length "Date" or "POSIXt" object.
123+
124+
? Tweaks to binning for bw.SJ() and bw.ucv() in the very rare case
125+
of data which have an extremely small range compared to their
126+
absolute values, e.g., x <- 6e9 + 6:9.
127+
128+
? Formatting book-type bibentry objects now converts LaTeX accents
129+
also in the publisher and series fields.
130+
131+
? model.frame(~1, list(), na.action=na.pass) and similar
132+
?border-line? uses no longer produce invalid data frames, fixing
133+
PR#18977, reported with patch by Mikael Jagan.
134+
135+
? length(<POSIXlt>) <- v is more careful about balancing, notably
136+
when v is not integer, thanks to Suharto Anggono's remarks on the
137+
mailing list R-devel.
138+
139+
? approx(<x_with_ties>, <y_with_NA>, na.rm = FALSE) now should
140+
always call the ties() function, fixing PR#17604 reported by Bill
141+
Dunlap.
142+
143+
? besselJ(1, 1e-15) and similar now give correct results, thanks to
144+
Leo Mada and other ?R-help?ers.
145+
146+
? vignette(<pkg>::<topic>) is now a documented usage variant and
147+
confines vignette retrieval to the specified package.
148+
149+
? pretty(ch) again correctly works with ch a character vector of
150+
numbers.
151+
152+
? persp() labels the three axes correctly also when C level
153+
atan2pi() is available, fixing PR#19007 by Klaus Schliep.
154+
155+
? Large (tall) subscripts in plotmath expressions are now
156+
positioned correctly. They were being positioned too high.
157+
158+
? Ops group (Arith, Compare,..) methods for matrix-"ts" now do
159+
return (zero length) matrices even when the two series do not
160+
overlap, a very partial fix of PR#18972 which is to be fully
161+
addressed later.
