Aaron Wolen and I are pleased to announce the availability of the initial 0.0.1 release of our new linl package on the CRAN network. It provides a simple-yet-powerful Markdown—and RMarkdown—wrapper the venerable LaTeX letter class.

pinp 0.0.4: Small tweak

In version 0.0.3, we disabled the default \pnasbreak command we inherit from the PNAS LaTeX style. That change turns out to have been too drastic. So we reverted yet added a new YAML front-matter option skip_final_break which, if set...

A first maintenance release of RcppQuantuccia got to CRAN earlier today. RcppQuantuccia brings the Quantuccia header-only subset / variant of QuantLib to R. At present it mostly offers calendaring, but Quantuccia just got a decent amount of new functions so hopefully we can offer more here too. This release was motivated by the upcoming Rcpp rele...
