plot.xts() now renders all panels when ‘x’ has more
than 8 columns and multi.panel = TRUE. Columns 9 and later
didn’t render because the default of plot.xts() is ‘col =
1:8’. Thanks to Ethan Smith for the report and patch. (#423) (#424)
plot.xts() no longer errors when ‘ylim’ is constant
and negative. Thanks to Ethan Smith for the report. (#422)
Do not use SET_TYPEOF() in C because it is not part
of the public R API.
merge.xts() no longer converts ‘x’ or ‘y’ from
double to integer in the C code when they are not used in the result.
This avoids an unnecessary and confusing warning. Thanks to Jeff Ryan
for the report.
addEventLines() and addLegend() now
draw on multiple panels when on is a vector. Thanks to
Ethan Smith for the report. (#420)
Replace SET_TYPEOF() in merge.c because it will
error when it tries to convert a REAL to an INTEGER. Thanks to Kurt
Hornik for the report! (#419)
Fix crash when ‘j’ is not an integer and in [0, 1)
(e.g. j = 0.1). Also throw a warning when ‘j’ is not an
integer. (#413) (#415)
Fix plot header when layout() is used to draw
multiple plots on a single device. Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for the
report and testing! (#412)
Fix plot legend location when the y-axis is log scale. (#407)
Print a message when period.apply() is called with
FUN = mean because it calculates the mean for each column,
not all the data in the subset like it does for all other functions. The
message says to use FUN = colMeans for current behavior and
FUN = function(x) mean(x) to calculate the mean for all the
data. This information is also included in the help files. The option
xts.message.period.apply.mean = FALSE suppresses the
message. (#124)
Fix error when print.xts() is called ‘quote’ or
‘right’ arguments. (#401)
Fix addPolygon() so it renders when
observation.based = TRUE. (#403)
Print trailing zeros for index value with fractional seconds, so every index value has the same number of characters. (#404)
Add ability to log scale the y-axis in plot.xts().
(#103)
Actually change the underlying index values when ‘tclass’ is changed from a class with a timezone (e.g. POSIXct) to one without a timezone (e.g. Date). Add a warning when this happens, with a global option to always suppress the warning. (#311).
Significantly refactor the internals of plot.xts().
(#408)
Ignore attribute order in all.equal(). Attribute
order shouldn’t matter. That can be checked with
identical().
Only call tzone() and tclass() once in
check.TZ(). Calling these functions multiple times throws
multiple warnings for xts objects created before the tclass and tzone
were attached to the index instead of the xts object. (#306)
Add instructions to update old objects. Old xts objects do not have tclass and tzone attributes on the index. Add a function to update the object attributes and add a note to the warning to show how to use it. (#306)
Return ‘POSIXct’ if object has no ‘tclass’. An empty string is not a valid ‘tclass’, so it can cause an error.
Add notes on plot.xts() nomenclature and structure.
Also add ASCII art to illustrate definitions and layout. (#103)
Remove ‘tis’ support. The implementation was not even a bare minimum, and it’s not clear it even worked correctly. (#398)
Register missing S3 methods and update signatures. With R-devel
(83995-ish), R CMD check notes these S3 methods are not
registered. It also notes that the signatures for
as.POSIXct.tis() and str.replot_xts() do not
match the respective generics.
It also thinks time.frequency() is a S3 method because
time() is a generic. The function isn’t exported, so
renaming won’t break any external code. Thanks to Kurt Hornik for the
report. (#398)
Format each column individually before printing. The top/bottom rows could have a different number of decimal places and there are often multiple variying spaces between columns. For example:
close volume ma bsi
2022-01-03 09:31:00 476.470 803961.000 NA 54191.000
2022-01-03 09:32:00 476.700 179476.000 NA 53444.791
2022-01-03 09:33:00 476.540 197919.000 NA -16334.994
...
2023-03-16 14:52:00 394.6000 46728.0000 392.8636 28319.4691
2023-03-16 14:53:00 394.6500 64648.0000 392.8755 15137.6857
2023-03-16 14:54:00 394.6500 69900.0000 392.8873 -1167.9368There are 4 spaces between the index and the ‘close’ column, 2 between ‘close’ and ‘volume’, 4 between ‘volume’ and ‘ma’, and 2 between ‘ma’ and ‘bsi’. There should be a consistent number of spaces between the columns. Most other classes of objects print with 1 space between the columns.
The top rows have 3 decimals and the bottom rows have 4. These should also be the same. (#321)
Only convert printed index values to character. Converting the entire index to character is time-consuming for xts objects with many observations. It can take more than a second to print an xts object with 1mm observations.
Make column names based on number of columns. The original code was a lot more complicated because it tried to account for truncating the number of printed columns. That functionality was removed because of how complicated it was. So now we can simply create printed column names from the number of columns. (#395)
Fix xts() for zero-row data.frame. The
xts() constructor would create an object with a list for
coredata when ‘x’ is a data.frame with no rows. It needs to convert ‘x’
to a matrix and throw an error if ‘x’ is a list. (#394)
Reduce instances when dplyr::lag() warning is shown.
The warning was shown whenever it detected dplyr is installed, even if
the user wasn’t actively using dplyr. That caused an excessive amount of
noise when other packages attached xts (e.g. quantmod). Thanks to Duncan
Murdoch for the report and suggested fix! (#393)
Keep colname when only one non-time-based column. The subset
x[, -which.col] would return a vector when the data frame
has a time-based column and only one additional column. Do not drop
dimensions, so ‘x’ will still be a data.frame in this case. (#391)
Treat NA the same as NULL for start or end values. NULL represents an undefined index value. NA represents an unknown or missing index value. xts does not allow NA as index values. Subsetting an xts or zoo object by NA returns a zero-length object. So a NA (unknown) index value is essentially the same as an undefined index value. (#345, #383)
Warn and remove NA when periodicity() called on
date-time with NA. Otherwise the uninformative error below will be
thrown. (#289)
Error in try.xts(x, error = "'x' needs to be timeBased or xtsible") :
'x' needs to be timeBased or xtsibleAccount for TZ when making names for split.xts().
as.yearmon.POSIXct() always sets tz = "GMT"
when calling as.POSIXlt(), regardless of the xts’ index
tzone. That can cause the as.yearmon() results to be
different days for GMT and the index’s timezone.
Use format.POSIXct() for “months” because it checks for
a ‘tzone’ attribute before converting to POSIXlt and calling
format.POSIXlt(). The conversion to POSIXlt is important
because it checks and uses the ‘tzone’ attribute before considering the
‘tz’ argument. So it effectively ignores the tz = "GMT"
setting in as.yearmon(). This is also the reason for
calling as.POSIXlt() before calling
as.yearqtr(). (#392)
Added a xts method for na.fill() to significantly
increase performance when ‘fill’ is a scalar. (#259)
as.xts() will look for a time-based column in a
data.frame if it cannot create an index from the row names. (#381)
Change print() xts method to only show the first and
last ‘show.rows’ rows if number of rows is > ‘max.rows’. (#321)
Made str() output more descriptive for xts objects.
It now differentiates between xts objects that are empty, zero-width, or
zero-length, and defines each type of object. It also adds column names
to the output. (#168, #378)
Add startup warning that dplyr::lag() breaks method
dispatch, which means calls to lag(my_xts) won’t work any
more.
Added open-ended time of day subsetting ranges. This allows users to subset by time of day from the start/end of the day without providing the start/end times (00:00:00.000/23:59:59.999).
For example: x[“/T1800”] # between the start of the day and 5pm x[“T0500/”] # between 5am and the end of the day
Thanks to Chris Katsulis for the suggestion! (#243)
Updated to.period() to accept custom ‘endpoints’ via
the ‘period’ argument. Now you can aggregate on something other than the
times that ‘endpoints()’ supports. Thanks to Ethan B. Smith for the
suggestion! (#302)
Fixed typo and expand period.apply() documentation.
(#205) The
original description has: * “the data from INDEX[k] to INDEX[k+1]” But
that’s not consistent with the code. It should be: * “the data from
INDEX[k]+1 to INDEX[k+1]”
Calls to merge.xts() on zero-width objects now match
merge.zoo(). Previously, merge.xts() would
return empty xts objects if called on two or more zero-width xts
objects. merge.zoo() would return a zero-width object with
the correct index. (#227, #379)
Fixed Ops.xts() so it always returned an object with
the same class as the first (left-hand side) argument. It previously
returned an xts object even if the first argument was a subclass of xts.
(#49)
Migrated unit tests from RUnit to tinytest. Thanks Mark van der Loo!
Updated the endpoints() documentation to make it
clearer that the result is based on the UNIX epoch (midnight 1970, UTC).
Thanks to GitHub user Eluvias for the suggestion! (#299)
Fixed reclass() to ensure it always adds index
attributes from the ‘match.to’ argument. It was not copying
tclass, tzone, or tformat from
‘match.to’ to the result object. (#43)
Removed an unnecessary check in na.locf() (which is
not user-facing). Thanks to GitHub user @cgiachalis for the suggestion! (#307)
Updated C entry points so they’re not able to accidentally be
found via dynamic lookup (i.e. .Call("foo", ...)). This
makes each call to the C code a few microseconds faster, which is nice.
(#260)
Made merge.xts() results consistent with
merge.zoo() for zero-length xts objects with columns. The
result of merge.xts() did not include the columns of any
objects that had one or more columns, but zero rows. A join should
include all the columns of the joined objects, regardless of the number
of rows in the object. This is consistent with merge.zoo().
Thanks to Ethan B. Smith for the report and testing! (#222)
Ops.xts() no longer changes column names (via
make.names()) when the two objects do not have identical
indexes. This makes it consistent with Ops.zoo(). (#114)
Subsetting a zero-length xts object now returns an object with the same storage type as the input. It previously always returned a ‘logical’ xts object. (#376)
tclass() and tzone() now return the
correct values for zero-length xts objects, instead of the defaults in
the .xts() constructor. Thanks to Andre Mikulec for the
report and suggested patch! (#255)
first() and last() now return a
zero-length xts object when n = 0. They previously returned
the entire object. This is consistent with the default
head() and tail() functions, and data.table’s
first() and last() functions. Thanks to Ethan
B. Smith for the report and patch! (#350)
plot.xts() now has a yaxis.ticks
argument to control the number of y-axis grid lines, instead of always
drawing 5 grid lines. Thanks to Fredrik Wartenberg for the feature
request and patch! (#374)
Subsetting a zero-width xts now returns an object with the same class, tclass, tzone, and xtsAttributes as the input. Thanks to @shikokuchuo for the report! (#359)
endpoints() now always returns last observation.
Thanks to GitHub user Eluvias for the report. (#300)
Ensure endpoints() errors for every ‘on’ value when
k < 1. It was not throwing an error for
k < 1 for on of “years”, “quarters”, or
“months”. Thanks to Eluvias for the report. (#301)
Fix window() for yearmon and yearqtr indexes. In xts
< 0.11-0, window.zoo() was dispatched when
window() was called on a xts object because there was no
window.xts() method. window.zoo() supports
additional types of values for the start argument, and
possibly other features. So this fixes a breaking change in xts >=
0.11-0. Thanks to @annaymj for the report. (#312)
Clarify whether axTicksByTime() returns index
timestamps or locations (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Thanks to @ggrothendieck for the suggestion and
feedback. (#354)
Fix merge on complex types when ‘fill’ is needed.
merge() would throw an error because it treated ‘fill’ as
double instead of complex. Thanks to @ggrothendieck for the report. (#346)
Add a message to tell the user how to disable ‘xts_check_TZ’ warning. Thanks to Jerzy Pawlowski for the nudge. (#113)
Update rbind() to handle xts objects without dim
attribute. rbind() threw an obscure error if one of the xts
objects does not have a dim attribute. We can handle this case even
though all xts objects should always have a dim attribute. (#361)
split.xts() now always return a named list, which
makes it consistent with split.zoo(). Thanks to Gabor
Grothendieck for the report. (#357)
xts objects with a zero-length POSIXct index now return a zero-length POSIXct vector instead of a zero-length integer vector. Thanks to Jasper Schelfhout for the report and PR! (#363, #364)
Add suffixes to output of merge.xts(). The suffixes
are consistent with merge.default() and not
merge.zoo(), because merge.zoo() automatically
uses “.” as a separator between column names, but the default method
doesn’t. Thanks to Pierre Lamarche for the nudge. Better late than
never? (#38,
#371)
You can now omit the data time range from the upper-right portion
of a plot by setting main.timespan = FALSE. (#247)
Fix addEventLines() when plotted objects have a
‘yearmon’ index. The ISO-8601 range string was not created correctly.
Thanks to @paessens
for the report. (#353)
Make ‘ylim’ robust against numerical precision issues by
replacing == with all.equal(). Thanks to @bollard for the report,
PR, and a ton of help debugging intermediate solutions! (#368)
Series added to a panel now extend the panel’s y-axis. Previously the y-axis limits were based on the first series’ values and not updated when new series were added. So values of the new series did not appear on the plot if they were outside of the original series’ min/max. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu for the report and help debugging and testing! (#360)
All series added to any panel of a plot now update the x-axis of
all panels. So the entire plot’s x-axis will include every series’ time
index values within the original plot’s time range. This behavior is
consistent with chart_Series(). Thanks to Vitalie Spinu for
the report and help debugging and testing! (#360, #216)
All y-values are now plotted for series that have duplicate index values, but different data values. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu for the report and help debugging and testing! (#360)
Adding a series can now extend the x-axis before/after the plot’s existing time index range, so all of the new series’ time index values are included in the plot. This is FALSE by default to maintain backward compatibility. Thanks to Vitalie Spinu for the report and help debugging and testing! (#360)
Various function could change the tclass of xts objects. This would happen in calls to reclass(), period.apply(), and for logical operations on POSIXct indexes. Thanks to Tom Andrews for the report and testing, and to Panagiotis Cheilaris for contributing test cases. (#322, #323)
plot.xts() now supports y-axis labels via ‘ylab’. Thanks to Jasen Mackie for the suggestion and PR. (#333, #334)
The API header has been updated to fix the signatures of do_merge_xts() and is_xts, which did not return a SEXP as required of functions callable by .Call(). Thanks to Tomas Kalibera for the report (#317), and Dirk Eddelbuettel for the PR (#337). This is a breaking change, but is required to avoid the potential for a segfault.
Michael Chirico added an internal isUTC() function to recognize many UTC- equivalent time zones. (#319)
first() now operates correctly on non-xts objects when ‘n = -1’. Previously it would always return the last two values. Thanks to GitHub user vxg20 for the report. (#325)
The .xts() constructor would create an xts object with row names if ‘x’ had row names. This shouldn’t happen, because xts objects do not have or support row names. (#298)
Claymore Marshall added many examples of time-of-day subsetting to ?subset.xts. He also fixed a bug in time-of-day subsetting where subsetting by hour only returned wrong results. (#304, #326, #328)
All the index-attributes have been removed from the xts object and are now only attached to the index itself. We took great care to maintain backward compatibility, and throw warnings when deprecated functions are called and when index-attributes are found on the xts object. But there still may be some breaking changes lurking in edge cases. (#245)
Several binary operations (e.g. +, -, !=, <, etc.) on variations of uncommon xts objects with other xts, matrix, or vector objects, could result in malformed xts objects. Some examples of the types of uncommon xts objects: no dim attribute, zero-width, zero-length. (#295)
Calling as.matrix() on an xts object without a dim attribute no longer throws an error. (#294)
merge.xts() now honors check.names = FALSE. (#293)
The possible values for major.ticks, minor.ticks, and grid.ticks.on in the Details section of ?plot.xts have been corrected. Thanks to Harvey Smith
as.zoo.xts() is now only registered for zoo versions prior to 1.8-5. Methods to convert an object to another class should reside in the package that implements the target class. Thanks to Kurt Hornik for the report. (#287)
.parseISO8601() no longer has a potential length-1 logical error. Thanks to Kurt Hornik for the report. (#280)
endpoints() now honors k > 0 when on = “quarters”. Thanks to @alkment for the report. (#279)
Performance for the period.XYZ() functions (sum, prod, min, max) is much faster. Thanks to Chris Katsulis for the report, and Harvey Smith
merge.xts() now creates shorter column names when passed unnamed objects. This is now consistent with zoo. (#248)
Time-of-day performance is ~200x faster, thanks to StackOverflow user3226167 (#193).
The to.period() family of functions now use the index timezone when converting intraday index values to daily values (or lower frequency). Thanks to Garrett See and Gabor Grothendieck for the reports. (#53, #277)
Make column names for merge() results with unnamed objects shorter and more like zoo. This also makes na.fill() much faster. NOTE: This may break existing code for integer unnamed objects. (#248 #259)
Fix subset when ‘index(x)’ and ‘i’ contain duplicates. Thanks to Stack Overflow user scs for the report, and Philippe Verspeelt for debugging. (#275)
Fix if-statement in xts constructor that may use a logical with length > 1. Thanks to @HughParsonage for the report and PR. (#270, #272)
Register shift.time.xts() method. Thanks to Philippe Verspeelt for the report and PR. (#268, #273)
Conditionally register S3 methods for as.timeSeries.xts() and as.fts.xts() when their respective packages are available (as requested by CRAN). Note that this means these two functions are no longer exported. This may break some existing code that calls the methods directly, though ‘best practice’ is to let method dispatch determine which method to invoke.
Fix regression in .xts() that caused ‘tclass’ argument/attribute to be incorrectly set to POSIXct regardless of user-provided value. Thanks to @Eluvias for the report and Tom Andrews for the PR. (#249, #250)
Fix performance regression when xts object is subset by a date-time vector. Thanks to Tom Andrews for the report, and the PR to fix the bug in my patch. (#251, #263, #264)
Restore behavior from 0.10-2 so subsetting an empty xts object by a date- time vector returns an empty xts object instead of throwing an error. Thanks to @alkment for the report. (#252)
Add ability for merge.xts() to handle multiple character or complex xts objects. Thanks to Ken Williams for the report. (#44)
Add ability to use “quarters” to specify tick/grid mark locations on plots. This ran but produced an incorrect result in 0.10-2 and threw an error in 0.11-0. Thanks to Marc Weibel for the report. (#256)
Fix illegal read reported by valgrind. Thanks to Tom Andrews for the report and PR. (#236, #261)
Fix make.index.unique() to always return a unique and sorted index. Thanks to Chris Katsulis for the report and example. (#241)
Add window.xts() method and completely refactor the internal binary search function it depends on. Thanks to Corwin Joy for the PR, tests, review, and patience. (#100, #240)
Better axis tick mark locations for plots. Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for the report. Also incorporate axTicksByTime2() into axTicksByTime() to reduce code duplication from the migration of quantmod::chart_Series() to xts::plot.xts(). (#246, #74)
Add details to plot.xts() parameters that are periodicity, now that RStudio has argument completion. Thanks to Evelyn Mitchell for the PR. (#154)
periodicity() now warns instead of errors if the xts object contains less than 2 observations. (#230)
first() and last() now keep dims when they would otherwise be dropped by a regular row subset. This is consistent with head() and tail(). Thanks to Davis Vaughan for the report. (#226)
Fix subset when ISO8601 string is outside the valid range, so it returns no data instead of all rows. (#96)
Avoid partial name matches from parse.side() (inside .parseISO8601()) results that are passed to firstof() and lastof(). Thanks to @gp2x for the report and the patch. (#231)
na.locf.xts() now loops over columns of multivariate objects in C code, instead of in R. This should improve speed and memory performance. Thanks to Chris Katsulis and Tom Andrews for their reports and patches. (#232, #233, #234, #235, #237)
Change plot.xts() default ‘pch = 0’ (rectangles) to ‘pch = 1’ (circles) so it looks more like base and zoo plots. (#203)
na.locf.xts() and na.omit.xts() now support character xts objects. Thanks to Ken Williams and Samo Pahor for the reports. (#42)
na.locf.xts() now honors ‘x’ and ‘xout’ arguments by dispatching to the next method. Thanks to Morten Grum for the report. (#215)
coredata.xts() now functions the same as coredata.zoo() on zero-length objects, and only removes xts-related attributes. Thanks to Vincent Guyader for the report. (#223)
plot.xts() no longer ignores ‘col.up’ and ‘col.dn’ when ‘type=“h”’ (#224). Thanks to Charlie Friedemann for the report. This was inadvertently broken as part of the fix for #210.
‘ylim’ values passed to ‘addSeries’ and ‘addPolygon’ via ‘…’ are now captured and honored (#220).
‘addPolygon’ now checks for ylim of zeros, as ‘addSeries’ does (#164).
The ‘base::as.Date.numeric’ method is no longer over-ridden. The exported, but not registered, method in zoo should prevent any change in behavior.
Series added to an existing plot are now given the same index values as the main panel (#216). There still may be some weird behavior if the new data does not have observations within the timespan of the main panel data, but no observations on the same timestamps.
Existing ‘par’ values are now captured and reset before returning from plotting functions (#217).
User-defined ‘col’ values are now honored when ‘type=“h”’ (#210).
Values passed to plotting functions are now copied from the calling environment. This enables plotting arguments to be objects passed through multiple layers of function calls.
indexFormat is now generic, consistent with indexFormat<- (#188).
Calling as.matrix() on a zero-width xts object now behaves consistently with zoo, and no longer throws an error (#130).
Fix weird result in merge.xts() when ‘fill’ argument is NULL or a zero- length vector (#261).
Fixed bug in endpoints() due to sub-second representation error via using integer division (%/%) with non- integer arguments (#202).
endpoints() gained sub-second accuracy on Windows (#202).
plot.xts() no longer errors when called on an object containing a constant value. It chooses ylim values +/-20% from the series value (#156).
plot.xts() now places y-axis labels in the same location on the plot, regardless of data periodicity (#85).
rbind.xts() now throws an error if passed an xts object with different number of observations in the index and data (e.g., zero-width) (#98).
Major changes include: * A new plot.xts() that is incompatible with earlier versions of plot.xts(). * Moved development from R-Forge to GitHub. * New xts FAQ.
Other, less disruptive changes include:
merge.xts() now throws an error if the index contains non-finite values (#174).
Constructors xts() and .xts() now ensure order.by and index arguments do not contain non-finite values. Many xts functions, most notably merge.xts(), expect all index values to be finite. Missing index values usually indicate an error, and always occurred at the end of the index (#173, (#194, (#199).
Fixed bug in endpoints() when called on sparse data that have the same month and day, but different years (#169).
Fixed bug in [.xts did not do the same checks on logical xts objects as it does for all other data types (#163).
Fixed bug that caused split.xts() to error if ‘f’ is a character vector with more than 1 element (#134).
Fixed bug that crashed R if ‘k’ argument to lag.xts() was not an integer and would be NA when coerced to integer (#152).
period.apply() now checks to ensure the object’s index is unique and sorted, and sets INDEX <- sort(unique(INDEX)) if it is not. It also ensures INDEX starts with 0 and ends with NROW(x) (#171).
All references to the ‘its’ package have been removed, since it is now archived on CRAN at the request of its maintainer.
Fixed bug that crashed R when merge.xts() was called on an empty xts object and more than one non-xts object (#157).
Fixed bug that did not set the index’s tzone attribute to UTC when index<-.xts or indexClass<- were called and ‘value’ did not have a tzone attribute (#148).
Fixed a bug in endpoints() that caused incorrect results if the index was less than the epoch (#144).
Fixed a bug that caused diff.xts() on a logical xts object to return an object with a POSIXct index.
index.xts() works even if the package containing the class for the index is not attached (it needs to be loaded, however).
[.xts now returns NA if a one-column xts object is subsect by NA, instead of throwing an uninformative error (#97).
Fixed bugs that would crash R when [.xts was called a certain way and ‘j’ contained NA values (#97, #181).
Fixed a bug in endpoints() where 1 second would be subtracted for any date in the year 1969. The subtraction is only supposed to occur on 1969-12-31 23:59:59.9… to work around behavior in strptime().
timeBasedSeq() now honors hour/min/sec ‘BY’ values (#91).
[.xts now throws an error if ‘j’ is character and not one of the column names. This is consistent with [.zoo and [.matrix (#48).
timeBasedSeq() now works correctly when resolution is “days” the sequence includes a daylight saving time change (#67).
Explicitly set indexTZ=“UTC” for all index classes that do not have a TZ (#66). indexTZ=“GMT” is also allowed.
Fixed as.xts() when called on an ‘mts’ object (#64).
Moved development from R-Forge to GitHub.
Fixed bug in to.period() that errored when name=NULL (#2).
Fixed bug in .index* functions that did not account
for timezones (#3).
Fixed bug that allowed index<-.xts to produce an unsorted index (#4).
Fixed bug so subsetting a zero-width xts object with a zero-length ‘i’ vector no longer returns an object with column names (#5).
Updated [.xts to handle ‘i’ containing multiple zeros (e.g. subsetting by a “logical” column of an integer xts object).
endpoints() now errors if k < 0.
Fixed bug that caused logical operators on xts objects to drop the ‘tzone’ attribute (#10).
Fixed bug that ignored ‘which.i’ argument to [.xts on zero-width xts objects (#12).
Fixed bug where xts() does not sort ‘order.by’ if x is missing (#13).
Fixed bug where setting dimnames to NULL would break as.xts() (#14).
Added checks to period.sum/prod/min/max to ensure INDEX is in [0,nrow(x)].
Fixed missing argument to na_locf() in the C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel).
Increased zoo dependency version to 1.7-10 for changes in C code.
Fixed several minor issues in the C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel).
Fixed bug where the index was missing the ‘tzone’ attribute.
Fixed to.period() bug when ‘indexAt’ is “firstof” or “lastof”. (bug #15, patch #35, thanks to Garrett See)
Fixed subsetting bug on zero-width xts objects that returned NA data and an NA index (#16).
xts’ merge() method now has ‘drop’ and ‘check.names’ arguments to match the zoo merge() method.
‘index<-’ now correctly handles UTC Date objects when resetting index values. ‘.index<-’ behaved correctly.
xts’ rollapply() method now handles the ‘fill’ argument.
Added several functions to the C/C++ API:
Fixed xts’ rollapply() method when input has one column, but function output has more than one column.
Added C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel)
Added tzone() and tclass() functions as aliases to indexTZ() and indexClass(), respectively. Eventually will Deprecate/Defunct the former.
Modified str() output to make use of proper ISO-8601 range formating
Fixed bug in reclass() when ‘tzone’ of object is different than system TZ.
Fixed bug in xts() that dropped dims when ‘x’ is a 1-column matrix or data.frame.
[.xts no longer warns if ‘i’ is zero-length.
to.period() now checks that ‘x’ is not zero-length/width.
Fixed edge case in Ops.xts where two objects with no common index create an invalid ‘xts’ object with no index.
to.monthly() and to.quarterly() now default to drop.time=TRUE.
Internal .drop.time() now changes the index class to Date. This affects the to.period() family of functions.
Restore Date index/tclass conversion to POSIXct with a UTC timezone via integer division instead of double-precision division.
A Date index/tclass is now internally converted to POSIXct with a UTC timezone ensure proper conversion regardless of user TZ settings.
tclass is now an argument to .xts()
Fix endpoints() properly handles millisecond time stamps (and microsecond on not Windows).
Subsetting zero-width xts objects now behaves like zoo, with NA values returned for valid row requests.
Fixed bug in lag() and diff() for character coredata.
Fixed subsetting bug that returned a contiguous chunk of data even when a non-contiguous ‘i’ was provided.
Fixed bug that ignored FinCenter/TZ for timeDate index
period.apply() now only sets colnames if the number of columns in the input and output are equal.
Fixed periodicity() when scale = “yearly”
Fixed [.xts when row-subsetting via a POSIXct vector, which returned an object full of NA.
Added ‘…’ to axis() call inside of plot.xts() to allow for ‘cex.axis’ and ‘cex.lab’ to be passed in.
Fixed axes=FALSE issue in plot.xts().
Dependency now on 1.7-0 or better of zoo (R-forge at present) This build now links to C code moved from xts to zoo. At present this is only for zoo_lag (used in lag and lagts)
Added ‘drop’ and ‘fromLast’ arguments to make.index.unique().
Added adj.time() and shift.time()
Fixed na.locf() bug that would fill trailing NA larger than ‘maxgap’ observations (#22)
Updated indexFormat() documentation and add an example
Fix print formatting (#27)
Fix bug related to na.locf() and zero-width objects (#28)
Add .RECLASS = FALSE after ‘…’ for as.xts.() methods. This makes all as.xts.() methods one-way (i.e. not reclass-able). Objects converted to xts via try.xts() can still be converted back to their original class via relcass().
Fix bug that caused colnames to be dropped if object is subset by time that is not in the index.
internal attributes of index are now maintaining timezone (tzone), time class (tclass) information.
[.xts method is now using new C code. This may
revert back as character-based objects are not supported. Changed for
future code refactoring into zoo, as well as performance gains on
integer, double and logical values. Also added in checks for NAs.
drop=TRUE now works correctly in all known applications.
(cbind)merge.xts and rbind.xts now copy index attributes to handle internal changes to index characteristics (in C code)
indexTZ.Rd updated to provide information regarding internal changes. Also indexTZ<- is now exported to facilitate timezone changing of xts objects.
subsecond ISO8601 subsetting on dates before 1970 (epoch) is disabled. This is due to a bug in the R implementation of POSIX handling of fractional seconds pre-1970. 10 microsecond granularity is still functional for all other times. Thanks to Andreas Noack Jensen for the early bug report.
new ‘tzone’ arg in xts constructor and ‘tz’ in .parseISO8601 allows for future support of non-system TZ dependent indexing
internal index attribute (numeric) now can have attributes set (tzone is currently the only one used in xts). These should remain during all xts operations. Still experimental.
naCheck has been exposed at the C level for use in packages “LinkingTo: xts”. See ?xtsAPI for more details.
A new NEWS file.
print.xts now passes …
endpoints speedup and bug fix (thanks Ismail Onur Filiz)
na.omit bug on logical and NaN fixes (thanks Fabrizio Pollastri and Koert Kuipers)
fromLast=FALSE for na.locf.xts. Matching to zoo. (thanks to Sandor Benczik)
LGLSXP support in leadingNA (R fun naCheck)

as.xts and as.timeSeries fixes for timeSeries changes
merge and subset now support dimensionless xts (non-standard). merge segfault fixed when merging all 3 or more zero-width xts objects and only zero-width objects. Thanks to Koert Kuipers for the report.
added which.i to [.xts to return i values found via ISO8601 subset string
new lines.xts and plot.xts, similar to methods in zoo
lastof now has sec to 10 microsecond precision, and subsec arg to append to secs.
xts() further consistency in NROW/index check
align.time error checks for positive n= values (thanks Brian Peterson)
