R-2.9.2-1.el4 (FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0319)
A language for data analysis and graphics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update to R 2.9.2. BUG FIXES - parse_Rd() still did not handle source
reference encodings properly. - The C utility function PrintValue no longer
attempts to print attributes for CHARSXPs as those attributes are used
internally for the CHARSXP cache. This fixes a segfault when calling it on a
CHARSXP from C code. - PDF graphics output was producing two instances of
anything drawn with the symbol font face. (Report from Baptiste Auguie.) -
length(x) <- newval and grep() could cause memory corruption. (PR#13837) -
If model.matrix() was given too large a model, it could crash R. (PR#13838, fix
found by Olaf Mersmann.) - gzcon() (used by load()) would re-open an open
connection, leaking a file descriptor each time. (PR#13841) - The checks for
inconsistent inheritance reported by setClass() now detect inconsistent
superclasses and give better warning messages. - print.anova() failed to
recognize the column labelled P(>|Chi|) from a Poisson/binomial GLM anova as a
p-value column in order to format it appropriately (and as a consequence it gave
no significance stars). - A missing PROTECT caused rare segfaults during
calls to load(). (PR#13880, fix found by Bill Dunlap.) - gsub() in a non-
UTF-8 locale with a marked UTF-8 input could in rare circumstances overrun a
buffer and so segfault. - R CMD Rdconv --version was not working correctly.
- Missing PROTECTs in nlm() caused "random" errors. (PR#13381 by Adam D.I.
Kramer, analysis and suggested fix by Bill Dunlap.) - Some extreme cases of
pbeta(log.p = TRUE) are more accurate (finite values < -700 rather than -Inf).
(PR#13786) - pbeta() now reports on more cases where the asymptotic
expansions lose accuracy (the underlying TOMS708 C code was ignoring some of
these, including the PR#13786 example). - new.env(hash = TRUE, size = NA) now
works the way it has been documented to for a long time. -
tcltk::tk_choose.files(multi = TRUE) produces better-formatted output with
filenames containing spaces. (PR#13875) - R CMD check --use-valgrind did not
run valgrind on the package tests. - The tclvalue() and the print() and
as.xxx methods for class "tclObj" crashed R with an invalid object -- seen with
an object saved from an earlier session. - R CMD BATCH garbled options -d
<debugger> (useful for valgrind, although --debugger=valgrind always worked)
- INSTALL with LazyData and Encoding declared in DESCRIPTION might have left
options("encoding") set for the rest of the package installation.

perl-DateTime-Format-Excel-0.2901-3.el4 (FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0318)
Convert between DateTime and Excel dates
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Excel uses a different system for its dates than most Unix programs. This module
allows you to convert between a few of the Excel raw formats and DateTime
objects, which can then be further converted via any of the other
DateTime::Format::* modules, or just with DateTime's methods.If you happen to be
dealing with dates between 1 Jan 1900 and 1 Mar 1900 please read the notes on
EPOCHS. If you're wanting to handle actual spreadsheet files, you may find the
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel manpage and the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel manpage of use.
