rcheology is a data package providing two data frames:
rcheology lists objects in versions of R from 0.50 onwards.
Rversions lists R versions and their release dates. NB: For a more complete and "canonical" solution, see the rversions package.
The version of the rcheology package reflects the latest R version to be included in the data, e.g. 3.5.1.x contains data up to and including R 3.5.1.
An online app for data exploration is available at https://hughjonesd.shinyapps.io/rcheology/.
R versions are built using the evercran project.
Results are found from running ls(all.names = TRUE) on all installed
packages. For more details, see guest-list-objects.R.
The Rversions data frame lists versions of R and release dates.
Functions not built on the relevant platform - e.g. Windows functions - are not included.
R 0.60 data is not yet included.
Functions in package tcltk are not yet included before R 2.0.0.
In 2.9.0, package Matrix was mistakenly given priority "Recommended" not
"recommended" in the output of installed.packages().
In 2.5.0, package rcompgen was given priority NA. The NEWS file records
it as a recommended package.
Both these errors have been corrected in the rcheology data.
Check if a core R function changed between R versions
fun_changed(fn, from = NULL, to = NULL, package = NULL)fun_changed(fn, from = NULL, to = NULL, package = NULL)
fn |
Character name of a function in a core R package. |
from |
Minimum R version (optional). |
to |
Maximum R version (optional). |
package |
Name of the package (optional). |
0 if there was no change. 1 if the function's arguments changed. 2 if the function was not present in all versions. If the function can't be found or exists in multiple packages, throws an error.

A data frame with every function (and other object) in versions of R from 1.0.1 onwards. Variables are:
package: package the object comes from
name: name of the object
Rversion: version of R as major.minor.patch
type: Result of calling typeof() on the object
class: class() of the object, separated by slashes if there are multiple classes.
exported: TRUE if the object name was found in getNamespaceExports(). True for
anything in the "base" package. NA if the package does not have a namespace
(e.g. "datasets" in early versions).
hidden: TRUE if the object name starts with ".". These objects
are not reported by ls().
S4generic: TRUE if the object is an S4 generic according to
methods::isGeneric(). Note that in earlier
versions of rcheology, this column was called generic.
priority: "base" for base packages, "recommended" for recommended
packages. NA for earlier versions of R (pre 1.6.0) when the priority
concept did not exist.
args: the arguments of the function, or NA for non-functions
A data frame with 2 variables:
Rversion: version of R as major.minor.patch
date: date of release
This goes back to 0.x releases. For 2.15.1-w, see here.
