RcppClassic 0.9.5
A maintenance release of RcppClassic, now at version 0.9.5, went out to CRAN today. Nothing changed in user-facing code. The build was triggered by a change in an upcoming Rcpp release (more about that another time), and a few minor updates were needed for extended checks done by R. Courtesy of CRANberries, there is the set of changes relative...

RcppZiggurat 0.1.2
A new maintenance release of RcppZiggurat is now on CRAN. And just like yesterday’s RcppClassic upload, this is motivated chiefly by some minor caretaking for an upcoming Rcpp release — hopefully soon, and with more details to follow. This release also contains some small extensions and work-in-progress. By using R’s uniform generator, we...

RQuantLib 0.3.11
A new minor / maintenance release RQuantLib 0.3.11 is now on CRAN and in Debian.

RcppSMC combines the SMCTC template classes for Sequential Monte Carlo and Particle Filters (Johansen, 2009, JSS) with the Rcpp package for R/C++ Integration (Eddelbuettel and Francois, 2011, JSS) and thereby allows fo...
