[R] randomForest bug in predict.randomForest()

[J Sousa]

The NEWS of the randomForest R library mention that version 4.5-13
fixed a bug in predict.randomForest() when newdata is a matrix with no
rownames.

Can anyone explain what were the consequences of this bug in the predictions?

I think the bug was fixed with the new line

if (is.null(rn)) rn <- keep

in file
predict.randomForest.R

I got predictions with the new version using a RF trained before
version 4.5-13 and I can't see differences...

Thanks,
