R 3.4.1 (codename “Single Candle”) was launched a number of days in the past. You will get the newest binaries model from right here. (or the .tar.gz supply code from right here).
As talked about final week by David Smith, R 3.4.1 contains a number of Home windows associated bug mounted:
together with a difficulty typically encountered when making an attempt to put in packages on Home windows, and issues displaying capabilities together with Unicode characters (like “日本語”) within the Home windows GUI.
The complete listing of bug fixes and new options is supplied under.
Upgrading to R 3.4.1 on Home windows
If you’re utilizing Home windows you may simply improve to the newest model of R utilizing the installr package deal. Merely run the next code in Rgui:
set up.packages("installr") # set up
setInternet2(TRUE) # just for R variations older than 3.3.0
installr::updateR() # updating R.
# If you want it to go quicker, run: installr::updateR(T)
Operating “updateR()” will detect if there’s a new R model obtainable, and in that case it should obtain+set up it (and many others.). There may be additionally a step-by-step tutorial (with screenshots) on how one can improve R on Home windows, utilizing the installr package deal. In case you solely see the choice to improve to an older model of R, then change your mirror or strive once more in a couple of hours (it often take round 24 hours for all CRAN mirrors to get the newest model of R).
I attempt to hold the installr package deal up to date and helpful, so in case you have any options or remarks on the package deal – you’re invited to open a difficulty within the github web page.
