[adegenet-forum] problems with new("genlight")

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Hello, 

sorry about this, but there has been a change in the arguments. 'multicore' is now 'parallel' (the package multicore is being replaced by parallel).

I realize this does not appear in the documentation of the constructor. I'll try to amend that in the next release.

All the best
Thibaut

Subject: [adegenet-forum] problems with new("genlight")

I have recently updated to R-3.0.1 and to adegenet 1.3-9 the adegenet scripts I was running successfully in R-3.0.0 adgenet 1.3-8 are now failing when calling the new("genlight") functions, if there are arguments. I would be happy to set mc.cores to 1 but can not seem to pass this argument successfully.  Help appreciated. Code is as follows:

> new("genlight")
 === S4 class genlight ===
 0 genotypes,  0 binary SNPs
> x <- new("genlight")
> x
 === S4 class genlight ===
 0 genotypes,  0 binary SNPs
### Clearly OK

## Even on the toy example I get
