‘all(<symbol>)’ signals an error now, as some similar coercions; previously, the coercion of the symbol resulted in ‘NULL’ internally, raised a warning, and could access illegal memory; thanks to Kevin Ushey's PR#19054.

‘abbreviate(<non-ASCII>)’ now works better, using ‘iswlower()’ and ‘*upper()’ to treat “wide” characters, thanks to Kevin's PR#19058.

‘wilcox.test(x, exact=FALSE, correct = k)’'s p-value computation got a missing ‘dnorm(z)’ factor.

‘as.POSIXct(x)’ for ‘POSIXlt’ object ‘x’ with ‘.Machine$integer.max - x$year < 1900’ no longer suffers from C level integer overflow, thanks to Suharto Anggono's patch for PR#19038. Currently, this does not apply when the ‘"internal"’ code for date-time conversion and printing is in use, as e.g., on Windows and macOS.

Border case ‘zapsmall(x, digits=Inf)’ where ‘x’ has an ‘Inf’ entry, no longer returns all ‘NaN’ but rather ‘x’. Help page improved, also with more non-default examples.

‘as.data.frame.vector(<row.names_w/_NA>)’ now signals the same error as ‘data.frame()’, fixing Hervé Pagès' PR#19059. From Suharto Anggono's comment #c4, it gives the same error also when ‘row.names = RN’ explicitly, where ‘RN’ has ‘NA’s.
