CRAN release 2.17.0
2015-07-03
New features:
- Add new argument 'byrow' to upperTriangle(), lowerTriangle(), upperTriangle<-(), and lowerTriangle<-() to specify by row rather than by column order. This makes it simpler to copy values between the lower and upper triangular areas, e.g. to construct a symmetric matrix.
Other changes:
- Add inline comments to tests to alert reviewers of expected diffs on systems lacking the libraries for read.xls() to support XLSX formatted files.
