RcppMsgPack 0.2.0
A new and much enhanced version of RcppMsgPack arrived on CRAN a couple of days ago. It came together following this email to the r-package-devel list which made it apparent that Travers Ching had been working on MessagePack converters for R which required the very headers I had for use from, inter alia, the RcppRedis package. So we joined our pa...

pinp 0.0.1: pinp is not PNAS
A brandnew and very exciting (to us, at least) package called pinp just arrived on CRAN, following a somewhat unnecessarily long passage out of incoming. It is based on the PNAS LaTeX Style offered by the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, or PNAS for short. And there is already a Markdown version in t...

RcppClassic 0.9.7
A rather boring and otherwise uneventful release 0.9.7 of RcppClassic is now at CRAN. This package provides a maintained version of the otherwise deprecated first Rcpp API; no new projects should use it. Once again no changes in user-facing code. But this makes it the first package to use the very new and shiny pinp package as the backend for its...

RcppClassic 0.9.8
A bug-fix release RcppClassic 0.9.8 for the very recent 0.9.7 release which fixes a build issue on macOS introduced in 0.9.7. No other changes. Courtesy of CRANberries, there are changes relative to the previous release. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the R-Forge page. This post by Dirk Eddelbuettel originat...

RcppCNPy 0.2.7
A new version of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN yesterday. RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers. This version updates internals for function registration, but otherwise mostly switches the vignette over to the shiny new pinp two-page template and package. Changes in version...

A few short weeks after the more substantial 0.0.9 release of RcppAnnoy, we have a quick bug-fix update. RcppAnnoy is our Rcpp-based R integration of the nifty Annoy library by Erik. Annoy is a small and lightweight C++ template header library for very fast approximate nearest neighbours. Michaël Benesty noticed that our getItemsVector() functio...
