24.0.0

23.0.0

  • Removed deprecated FastR grid.
    • Removed --R.UsetInternalGridGraphics option.
  • Updated Matrix recommended package to 1.4-0
  • Updated codetools recommended package to 0.2-18

22.3.0

  • Implemented global native variable API, which allows the user to use some native package from two R contexts at the same time.
    • The API consists of a bunch of upcalls, named with a prefix of FASTR_GlobalVar, e.g., FASTR_GlobalVarAlloc.
    • The documentation is in com.oracle.truffle.r.ffi.impl.upcalls.FastRUpCalls.
    • Currently, only grid and graphics builtin packages are refactored to use the global native variable API.
  • Add partial support for dplyr 1.0.3
    • Implement SET_PRCODE, SET_PRENV and SET_PRVALUE upcalls.

22.2.0

  • --R.DebugLLVMLibs is no longer a stable option.
  • Implemented SET_GROWABLE_BIT and IS_GROWABLE C API functions.
    • This fixes installation of the cpp11 0.2.6 package.
  • Add akima package to the list of "native packages", so it is by default loaded by the native backend.

22.1.0

  • Improved performance of the order and rank builtin functions
  • FastR does not ship with its own copy of libz.so
    • System installation of this library becomes a requirement for FastR, but zlib is installed by default on MacOS and in most modern Linux distributions.
  • Use JavaGD as the default graphical subsystem.
    • Deprecate --R.UseInternalGridGraphics option.
    • The FastR's graphical subsystem is now mostly compatible with GNU-R's, i.e., most functions from graphics, grid, and grDevices base packages are now supported.
    • Display lists are fully implemented.
    • Supported devices: SVG, PNG, JPEG, BMP, AWT.
    • See graphics docs.
  • Updated XZ library for compression to the version XZ-1.9.

22.0.0

  • Adopted NodeLibrary.
  • In unit tests, use single shared context rather than multiple inner contexts.
  • Update recommended packages:
    • rpart to version 4.1-16 (2019-05-21)
    • cluster to version 2.1.2 (2021-04-17)

21.3.0

  • Upgrade of PCRE to PCRE2 version 10.37.
    • See GNU-R changelog (section MIGRATION TO PCRE2) for more details on potentially user visible differences between PCRE and PCRE2

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed implicit make rule parameters used when building R extensions
    • Fixes, e.g., installation of maps package version 3.3.0.
    • Removed -shared flag from LDFLAGS, added -shared to DYLIB_LDFLAGS, added SHLIB_LDGLAGS_R
  • Fixed unexpected garbage collection of CHARSXP objects in R extensions
    • FastR did not materialize its internal representation of character vectors to GNU-R compatible CHARSXP objects, which caused unexpected collection of CHARSXP objects returned by STRING_ELT
  • Option --no-init-file is not ignored anymore (do not read the user's profile at startup)
  • Fixed functions approx and approxfun from the stats package
    • Previously they were always failing with error message "Incorrect number of arguments"

21.2.0

  • Support for packages in 2021-02-01 CRAN snapshot:
    • testthat 3.0.1 is partially supported.
      • FastR does not support parallel tests run, i.e. run testthat only with Sys.setenv(TESTTHAT_PARALLEL="false").
    • tibble 3.0.6 , vctrs 0.3.6, and data.table 1.13.6 are mostly supported.
    • Support for dplyr 1.0.3, ggplot 3.3.3, and knitr 1.31 is a work in progress.

Bug fixes:

  • read.dcf does not ignore whitespaces in fields any more.
  • list.files gives correct result in a subdirectory with the same prefix as its parent directory.
  • Whitespaces in quantifiers in regular expressions are ignored.
    • GNU-R does not comply with PCRE with this behavior.
  • sys.frame displays frames for NextMethod correctly.
  • parent.frame is able to get the frame that is no longer on the stack.
    • Which is not recommended due to the documentation of parent.frame, but some packages do that nonetheless.

  • R_Serialize and R_removeVarFromFrame

21.0.0

Bug fixes:

  • Fix AssertionError in sprintf (#169)

20.3.0

Bug fixes:

  • Set internal generic dispatch for the lengths builtin, #164
  • iconv handles NA values properly

New features:

  • preliminary implementation of the ALTREP framework
    • support for registering custom ALTREP classes
    • ALTREP specific C API, e.g., INTEGER_IS_SORTED
    • serialization and deserialization of custom ALTREP objects is not supported yet

  • Improve performance of unique #154

Added missing R builtins and C APIs

  • Dummy implementations of X_IS_SORTED and X_NO_NA for X = STRING,INTEGER,REAL #156

20.1.0

New features:

  • Preview of improved graphical support.
    • Use --R.UseInternalGridGraphics=false to activate this feature.
    • graphics and grDevices packages are implemented by incorporating the JavaGD package.
    • The standard grid package works out of the box as well as lattice and ggplot2.
    • Supported image formats: PDF, PNG, JPEG, BMP.
    • SVG support will be added in the future.
    • Display lists are fully implemented, which, e.g., makes Shiny work better in FastR.
    • Custom FastR grid package implementation, which is currently the default, will be deprecated and removed in future releases.
  • FastR ships with GCC runtime libraries on all supported systems (Linux and MacOS).
    • GFortran is not a requirement anymore to run FastR, but it is still required to install R packages with Fortran code
    • The GFortran runtime libraries versions are 4.8.5 on Linux and 8.3.0 on MacOS. When compiling additional R packages with Fortran code, one must use GFortran of the same or higher version.
  • GFortran is used as the default Fortran compiler even in the "LLVM" toolchain configuration.
    • R packages that contain Fortran code will not be runnable on the FastR's LLVM backend (--R.BackEnd=llvm). However, the default backend is the "native" (--R.BackEnd=native). One can also choose to run only specific packages via the LLVM backend (--R.BackEndLLVM=mypackage).
    • Users can switch back to F2C, which can produce libraries runnable on the LLVM backend, by editing variable FC in {FASTR_HOME}/etc/Makeconf.
  • print stacktraces (in traceback()) for errors coming from C/C++ code when FastR is running in the LLVM mode (--R.BackEnd=llvm) and errors coming from other languages, e.g., GraalPython.
  • @ can be also used to access members of polyglot values originating from other languages. This was previously possible only with $, now both operators work.

Bug fixes:

  • S3 dispatch with missing arguments, e.g., as_tibble() (reported by Michael Hall on Slack)
  • dyn.load did not work with relative paths
  • missing warnings on integer overflow #136
  • the f2c script fixed to handle extra dotted file extensions #143
  • iconv honors the from and asRaw parameters. Fixes, e.g.: iconv('foo²²', 'UTF8', 'latin1')

20.0.0

New features:

  • clean-up of the Makeconf files shipped with FastR in the etc directory:
    • Makeconf.llvm makes use of the newly available tools in the Labs LLVM Toolchain (ar and ranlib)
    • Makeconf.native contains only generic configuration for Linux/MacOS (with GCC toolchain installed)
    • both files recognize following environment variables:
      • PKG_LDFLAGS_OVERRIDE intended for adding library directories for the linker, but may contain any linker flags, e.g., -L/path/to/library/which/is/not/in/my/os/default/search/path
      • PKG_INCLUDE_FLAGS_OVERRIDE intended for addding include directories, but may contain any compiler flags
      • Note: Makeconf.llvm is also used as the default Makeconf file, you can change that by using fastr.setToolchain('native') (not a new feature in this release)
      • Note: instead of exporting PKG_LDFLAGS_OVERRIDE or PKG_INCLUDE_FLAGS_OVERRIDE, you can also edit the Makeconf file
  • implement the "parse with named arguments" Truffle API available to Truffle instruments
  • use the RootBodyTag to tag function bodies for Truffle instrumentation

Added missing R builtins and C APIs

  • subsetting an array by numeric/string matrix
  • ported all external C functions used by nlm (#100) and fisher.test from the stats base package
  • Rf_asS4 C API function #118
  • serializeInfoFromConn and loadInfoFromConn2 internal builtins

Bug fixes:

  • fixed: polyglot.value is not an object #123
    • polyglot.value is now treated as explicit and not implicit class
    • one of the implications is that internal generic dispatch works with polyglot.value #122
  • can't assign class to polyglot value #124
  • incorrect formatting for sprintf %g and %G: trailing zeroes #126
  • support for remote workers with fastRCluster package #113
  • bug in variable lookup when a package removes one of its variables using rm during .onLoad
  • Rf_eval: when the argument is a pair-list do not execute it like a language object
  • fixed cross-product (%*%) for scalar complex values
  • fixed dirname('.') and dirname('/') to give '.' and '/'
  • list2env handles duplicated elements correctly
  • properly propagate exit code from the launchers (R and Rscript)

19.3.0

New features:

  • FastR is based on R 3.6.1
  • GCC runtime libraries are not shipped with FastR, use the following commands to install the necessary dependencies:
    • Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04: apt-get install libgfortran3 libgomp1
    • Oracle Linux 7: yum install libgfortran libgomp
    • Oracle Linux 8: yum install compat-libgfortran-48
    • MacOS: brew install gcc@4.9
  • new Graal LLVM based back-end for running packages native code.
    • The default {FASTR_HOME}/etc/Makeconf is configured to use the Graal LLVM toolchain to build the native code of R packages.
      • The toolchain builds standard native binaries for a given plarform and also embeds the corresponding LLVM bitcode in them.
      • R builtin fastr.setToolchain(name) (name can be llvm or native) sets the compiler toolchain used for package building (modifies etc/Makeconf).
      • To switch back to the previous toolchain configuration that used GCC, execute fastr.setToolchain("native").
    • Option --R.BackEnd specifies the default backend used to execute packages native code.
      • Different R packages can be run via different backends in one FastR context.
      • --R.BackEnd=native, the default, is JNI based backend that runs directly the actual native code.
      • --R.BackEnd=llvm is the new LLVM backend that loads the LLVM bitcode embedded in package libraries and runs it via Graal LLVM.
      • --R.BackEndNative=pkg1,pkg2,... enumerates packages whose native code will be executed by the native backend.
      • --R.BackEndLLVM=pkg1,pkg2,... enumerates packages whose native code will be executed by the LLVM backend.
      • Note: All --R.BackEnd* options are passed to R subprocesses.
    • Debugging of packages native code with LLVM backend.
      • Option --R.DebugLLVMLibs activates debugging of native code using the bundled LLVM bitcode.
      • Builtin fastr.useDebugMakevars(use) activates/deactivates a special etc/Makevars.site tailored for building the packages native code for debugging.
  • gc attempts to invoke Java GC when FastR is run with --R.EnableExplicitGC=true
    • this is intended only for testing purposes and it is not recommended to run GC explicitly in FastR.
    • gc is not invoking Java GC by default because GNU-R GC and Java GC are fundamentally different and this may lead to unintended behavior.

Added missing R builtins and C APIs

  • gctorture and gctorture2 built-ins for testing purposes
  • grepRaw (only for fixed=T)

Bug fixes:

    • running the configure_fastr will change this to a path that also contains GraalVM version and will create the directory

Added missing C APIs:

  • S_realloc

Bug fixes:

  • fatal error on Linux when pressing CTRL+C during long computation

  • Sys.localeconv supports: decimal_point, thousands_sep, grouping, int_curr_symbol, currency_symbol, mon_decimal_point, mon_thousands_sep, mon_grouping, int_frac_digits, p_cs_precedes, other fields are fixed to some meaningful but not culture sensitive value for given field

Bug fixes:

  • rep.int with value argument of length 0 just returns the value argument
  • tcrossprod called from apply did not give correct result #60
  • Rf_lengthgets can accept NULL argument
  • FastR does not allow Java interop when not started with --jvm

1.0 RC 14

Bugfixes

1.0 RC 6

New features

  • Support for reading/writing graphical parameters via par
    • in preparation for full graphics package support

Added missing R builtins and C API

  • 'get' builtin supports the 'envir' argument
  • 'inspect' internal
  • SETLEVELS

  • various fixes in vector coercion code to produce GNU-R compatible warnings and errors

1.0 RC 5

New features

  • Script that configures FastR for the current system (jre/languages/R/bin/configure_fastr)
    • allows to pass additional arguments for the underlying configure script
    • by default uses the following arguments: --with-x=no --with-aqua=no --enable-memory-profiling FFLAGS=-O2

Updates in interop

  • R code evaluated via interop never returns a Java primitive type, but always a vector
  • Vectors of size 1 that do not contain NA can be unboxed
  • Sending the READ message to an atomic R vector (array subscript in most languages) gives
    • Java primitive type as long as the value is not NA
    • if the value is NA, a special value that responds to IS_NULL with true. If this value is passed back to R it behaves as NA again
  • Note that sending the READ message to a list, environment, or other heterogenous data structure never gives atomic Java type but a primitive R vector

Bug fixes

  • Various smaller issues discovered during testing of CRAN packages.

1.0 RC 4

1.0 RC 3

Added missing R builtins and C API

  • vmmin
  • SETLENGTH, TRUELENGHT, SET_TRUELENGTH
