- For `summary`, option for statistics to compute has been added. Its output is changed from that from `describe`.
- A warning can be raised if versions of SparkR package and the Spark JVM do not match.

## Upgrading to Spark 2.4.0
## Upgrading to SparkR 2.3.1 and above

- The `start` parameter of `substr` method was wrongly subtracted by one, previously. In other words, the index specified by `start` parameter was considered as 0-base. This can lead to inconsistent substring results and also does not match with the behaviour with `substr` in R. It has been fixed so the `start` parameter of `substr` method is now 1-base, e.g., therefore to get the same result as `substr(df$a, 2, 5)`, it should be changed to `substr(df$a, 1, 4)`.
- In SparkR 2.3.0 and earlier, the `start` parameter of `substr` method was wrongly subtracted by one, previously. In other words, the index specified by `start` parameter was considered as 0-base. This can lead to inconsistent substring results and also does not match with the behaviour with `substr` in R. In version 2.3.1 and later, it has been fixed so the `start` parameter of `substr` method is now 1-base. As an example, `substr(lit('abcdef'), 2, 4))` would result to `abc` in SparkR 2.3.0, and the result would be `bcd` in SparkR 2.3.1.
