R: List Recent Bug Fixes

bugfixes {spatstat} | R Documentation

## List Recent Bug Fixes

### Description

List all bug fixes in a package, starting from a certain date or version of the package. Fixes are sorted alphabetically by the name of the affected function. The default is to list bug fixes in the latest version of the spatstat package.

### Usage

      bugfixes(sinceversion = NULL, sincedate = NULL,
               package = "spatstat", show = TRUE)

### Arguments

`sinceversion` | Earliest version of `package` for which bugs should be listed. The default is the current installed version.
`sincedate` | Earliest release date of `package` for which bugs should be listed. A character string or a date-time object.
`package` | Character string. The name of the package for which bugs are to be listed.
`show` | Logical value indicating whether to display the bug table on the terminal.

### Details

Bug reports are extracted from the NEWS file of the specified `package`. Only those after a specified date, or after a specified version of the package, are retained. The bug reports are then sorted alphabetically, so that all bugs affecting a particular function are listed consecutively. Finally the table of bug reports is displayed (if `show=TRUE`) and returned invisibly.

The argument `sinceversion` should be a character string like `"1.2-3"`. The default is the current installed version of the package. The argument `sincedata` should be a character string like `"2015-05-27"`, or a date-time object.

Typing `bugfixes` without parentheses will display a table of all bug fixes in the current installed version of spatstat.

### Value

A data frame, belonging to the class `"bugtable"`, which has its own print method.
