Closed Issues

This table lists closed issues in version 6.0.0 of TERR. It reflects fixes for issues with package compatibility, open-source R compatibility, and general issues with TERR.


Key	Description
TERR-3978	`seq.POSIXt(from=date1, to=date2, by=...)` no longer outputs any dates beyond `date2`.
TERR-5136	A long input line in the console could cause TERR to fail unexpectedly.
TERR-5176	Printing the summary of a Date or a `POSIXct` or `POSIXlt` vector with NAs or with a data.frame that contains a column of these types now prints the number of NAs correctly.
TERR-5689	Setting row names for an `xts` object from the xts package resulted in the error `invalid 'dimnames' given for xts`. This issue has been fixed.
TERR-6073	The `regmatches` function now works correctly when its `invert` argument is `NA`.
TERR-6114	`summary.Date`, `summary.POSIXct`, and `summary.POSIXlt` now create an object containing the number of NAs as a separate integer attribute, matching open-source R.
TERR-6977	Previously, `system2` ignored input and `stdin` arguments on Linux.
TERR-7004	An update to the MK library in TERR 4.5.0 can cause slight differences from `nls()` compared to earlier versions.
TERR-7044	The `source()` function now accepts the following arguments that were added to open-source R: `exprs` `spaced` `width.cutoff` `deparseCtrl`
TERR-7087	`system2()` returned incorrect results if there were over a certain number of characters in the command line.
TERR-7122	Previously, `read.table` would give an error when reading a space character as a logical.
TERR-7217	`seq.Date` and `seq.POSIXt` now accept specifying the time unit as `by="quarters"`.
TERR-7508	When you initialize an S4 object with a slot of class `vector`, or set this slot with `slot(obj,nm,check=TRUE)<-newval`, the new slot value is coerced to a vector before it is assigned.
TERR-7696	In some obscure cases, calling `eval` on an expression could generate an error before the expression started evaluation. This issue has been fixed.
TERR-7702	The function `setMethod` now matches R's behavior when it generates warnings or messages about unknown classes in the method signature. Specifically, no message or warning is generated if an unknown class is specified with a `className` object.
TERR-7707	The `setRefClass` function now correctly sets the slots and prototype of the `refclass`, including information from any non-`refclass` superclasses.
TERR-7713	`ts(x=matrix(), names=NULL)` now sets the column names of the output to `NULL`, not `"Series <n>"` or to the column names of `x`. The formatting and printing functions for such objects no longer convert NULL column names to `"Series <n>"`.
TERR-7719	`sprintf("%.0f", c(Inf,-Inf,NA,NaN))` no longer truncates the result to zero characters. It now ignores the precision part of the format specifier when rendering special numeric values. This behavior matches that of open-source R.
TERR-7726	`seq.POSIXt(from,to,by)` could give an extra element beyond the desired sequence of times, depending on the current time zone. This issue has been fixed.
TERR-7731	TERR now allows collecting errors generated within internal OpenMP code, which can lead to errors such as `"Error: invalid comparison with complex values (600 times in omp region)"`.
TERR-7738	An incorrect error message could be printed when there was a `tryCatch` call within an `on.exit` expression.
TERR-7739	Making a data.frame from a recursive list would sometimes drop some parts of the resulting column names.
TERR-7741	The `exclude` and `useNA` arguments to `table()` did not work properly in several ways. For example, `exclude=NULL` had the side effect of setting `useNA` to `"always"`. These arguments now work as they do in open source R. Also, `factor(exclude=NA, x)` had excluded both `NA` and `NaN` from the levels of the resulting factor. This function now excludes only `NA`.
TERR-7743	The `real()`, `is.real()`, and `as.real()` functions have been removed. They were removed from open-source R in 2013.
TERR-7747	When printing a list containing classed objects or an object with classed attributes, the `print` method for those classed objects did not get exactly the arguments passed to `print`: some arguments were omitted and some were added. This issue has been fixed.
TERR-7748	The function `as.hexmode("")` now gives an error instead of returning `0`. This change follows a change in open-source R 3.6.0.
TERR-7750	`array(x,dim,dimnames)` now requires that `dimnames` be a `list` (or `pairlist`). Previously, `array(x,dim,dimnames)` ignored non-list `dimnames`. This change follows a change made in open-source R 3.3.0.
TERR-7754	The functions `suppressMessages` and `suppressWarnings` now include the argument `classes`. This argument is used for suppressing only certain classes of messages or warnings.
TERR-7755	`activeBindingFunction(sym,env)` This function retrieves the function for the active binding, the `fun` argument to `makeActiveBinding(sym,fun,env)`.
TERR-7757	`transform.data.frame()` now passes arguments to `data.frame()`. For example, it now passes `stringsAsFactors` and `check.names` to `data.frame()` instead of treating them like new columns in the `data.frame` it produces.
TERR-7760	The `summary` method for `lm` objects now also returns the `weights` component from the `lm` object. if it exists.
TERR-7774	The `normalizePath` function on Windows now returns the capitalization used in the "official" version of the file name. Previously, the capitalization depended on context.
TERR-7777	If you manually edited the DCF created by a call to `buildServerSPK`, and then rebuilt the SPK from the DCF without explicitly providing a value for the `spkName` argument, then the function could fail with an error. This issue has been fixed.
TERR-7789	While TERR processes an interrupt, it defines a restart named `"resume"`. If the function `withCallingHandlers` defines an interrupt condition handler that invokes this restart, the interrupted computation is resumed.
TERR-7790	If `options('interrupt')` is set to a function, it is called with no arguments if an interrupt condition is not caught. If this function invokes a restart named `"resume"`, then the interrupted computation is resumed.
TERR-7795	The argument matching with `...` and default values have been changed to match open-source R. Also, the `lapply` and other `apply` functions have been changed to ignore extra missing arguments specified using `'a,i=,b'` to match changes made in open-source R version 3.5.0.
TERR-7800	The unexported function `utils:::checkHT` has been defined so that the code in the Matrix package can call it. The function `do.call('[',argList)` now works correctly if `argList` contains missing values for the selection indices.
TERR-7804	Following open-source R 4.0.0, S3 method dispatching for `cbind` and `rbind` has changed, so it calls the `cbind` or `rbind` S3 method for the first argument that has one, rather than using the default `cbind` or `rbind` if multiple arguments have different S3 methods.
TERR-7823	If a C function called with `.Call` returns the C `NULL` value, then the open-source R `NULL` object is returned instead, and a warning is generated.
TERR-7825	On Windows, `file.rename(aa,bb)` no longer fails if the file bb already exists.
TERR-7828	Several selection and replacement functions defined as TERR natives (such as `storage.mode`, `$`, `[<-`, and so on) now return the correct arguments when passed to the `args` and `formals` functions.
TERR-7833	`contrib.url(type="mac.binary")` no longer adds the nickname of a MacOS version in the returned URL.
TERR-7843	TERR now correctly handles CTRL+C interrupts in non-interactive sessions, such as when TERR is started with the options `-e`, `-f`, or `< file`, or when TERR is run in Emacs/ESS.
TERR-7852	The R C API function `VECTOR_ELT(x,i)` accepts `i` up to `max(TRUELENGTH(x),length(x))-1`, not just to `length(x)-1`, which is needed for the data.table package, version 1.13.0, to work in TERR.
TERR-7854	The Rapi entries `TAG` and `SET_TAG` now allow any object to be the 'tag' of a pairlist, rather than giving an error. The Rapi entry `R_UnwindProtect` does not give an error `"bad continuation argument"`. These changes prevent problems using the vroom and cpp11 packages.
TERR-7864	A small memory leak in `base::OlsonNames()` has been fixed.
TERR-7876	The Rapi entries `CAR`, `CDR`, and `TAG` now work on function objects. The corresponding entries for setting (`SETCAR`, `SETCDR`, and `SET_TAG`) also work on function objects. These entries are called by the qs package.
TERR-7891	Improved error handling in TERR for calling `Rf_error` while executing a `R_new_custom_connection` callback method prevents TERR from closing unexpectedly when you use the curl package.
TERR-7893	`as.POSIXct("2029-02-29 14:17",format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")` now returns `NA`, rather than returning `2029-03-01`. This change in behavior now matches open-source R.
TERR-7894	`stats::reformulate()` now has the argument `env=parent.frame()` so you can make the environment of the returned formula whatever you want it to be.
TERR-7895	`regmatches(x, invert=TRUE, ...)` and `regmatches(x, invert=NA, ...)` would give the error `"missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed"` when `x` contained an NA. These functions no longer give an error.
TERR-7906	When `utils::unzip` has problems unzipping a file when used with `install.packages` (for example), it now gives an error message containing details about the error. Previously, the errors were printed to the standard error stream and were not part of the error message itself.
TERR-7923	When functions like `readLines` read UTF-8 characters, they no longer skip illegal Unicode characters (such as `0xFFFD`) with a warning, but instead read them as a character (for example, the character `0xFFFD`). This change permits loading the package jsonld, which reads a long js script including `0xFFFD` characters.
TERR-7930	System Requirements documentation has been updated to reflect required library installation for running the TERR console on RHEL 8, CentOS 8, and SUSE 15.
