INSTALLATION:
* R can be installed using C23 (for example with -std=gnu23 or
-std=gnu2x) with recent compilers including gcc 12-14, Apple
clang 15-16, LLVM clang 17-20 and Intel icx 2024.2.
It can be installed with the upcoming (at the time of writing)
gcc 15, which defaults to C23.
C-LEVEL FACILITIES:
* The functions R_strtod and R_atof now allow hexadecimal constants
without an exponent, for compatibility with their C99 versions
(PR#18805).
UTILITIES:
* R CMD build and R CMD check now allow reference output for demo
scripts (demo/<demo>.Rout.save files) to be shipped with the
package, as proposed by Torsten Hothorn in PR#18816.
BUG FIXES:
* kappa(A, exact=TRUE) for singular A returns Inf more generally,
fixing PR#18817 reported by Mikael Jagan.
* Fixed URLs of the sun spots (sunspot.month etc) data sets and
mention future changes due to recalibration.
* The parser now accepts hexadecimal constants with a decimal point
without an exponent (taken as p0) as documented in
?NumericConstants (PR#18819).
* rbind() now works correctly when inputs include a raw vector and
a logical, integer or double vector - previously the inclusion of
the latter was garbled.
* smooth.spline() checks validity of its arguments df.offset and
penalty: it could segfault if they were NULL.
* isGeneric(<primitive>, fdef=*, getName=TRUE) now also returns the
name instead of just TRUE, fixing PR#18829 reported by Mikael
