RcppArmadillo 0.8.500.0
RcppArmadillo release 0.8.500.0, originally prepared and uploaded on April 21, has hit CRAN today (after having already been available via the RcppCore drat repo). A corresponding Debian release will be prepared as well. This RcppArmadillo release contains Armadillo release 8.500.0 with a number of rather nice changes (see below for details), and...

RcppMsgPack 0.2.2
Am maintenance release of RcppMsgPack got onto CRAN this afternoon. It contains a single static_cast fix to address a warning which g++-8.1 shows whereas older compilers remained silent—and CRAN asked us to address this. MessagePack itself is an efficient binary serialization format. It lets you exchange data among multiple languages like JSON....

RcppGSL 0.3.4
A minor update version 0.3.4 of RcppGSL is now on CRAN. It contains an improved Windows build system (thanks, Jeroen!) and updates the C++ headers by removing dynamic exception specifications which C++11 frowns upon, and the compilers lets us know that in no uncertain terms. Builds using RcppGSL will now be more quiet. And as always, an extra tre...

inline 0.3.15
A maintenance release of the inline package arrived on CRAN today. inline facilitates writing code in-line in simple string expressions or short files. The package is mature and in maintenance mode: Rcpp used it greatly for several years but then moved on to Rcpp Attributes so we have a much limited need for extensions to inline. But a number of ...

RcppGSL 0.3.5
A maintenance update of RcppGSL just brought version 0.3.5 to CRAN, a mere twelve days after the RcppGSL 0.3.4. release. Just like yesterday’s upload of inline 0.3.15 it was prompted by a CRAN request to update the per-package manual page; see the inline post for details. The RcppGSL package provides an interface from R to the GNU GSL using the...

Rcpp 0.12.17: More small updates
Another bi-monthly update and the seventeenth release in the 0.12.* series of Rcpp landed on CRAN late on Friday following nine (!!) days in gestation in the incoming/ directory of CRAN. And no complaints: we just wish CRAN were a little more forthcoming with what is happenening when, and/or would let us help supplying additional test information...

pinp 0.0.5: Accomodate pandoc 2.*
Another maintenance release of our pinp package for snazzier one or two column vignettes is getting onto CRAN right now. Everybody’s favourite Swiss Army Knife of text processing and document conversion, pandoc, decided in all its wisdow for version 2.* to no longer allow an idiom of embedding full LaTeX chunks in the Markdown YAML header. We h...

RcppDE 0.1.6
Another maintenance release, now at version 0.1.6, of our RcppDE package is now on CRAN. It follows the most recent (unblogged, my bad) 0.1.5 release in January 2016 and the 0.1.4 release in September 2015. RcppDE is a “port” of DEoptim, a popular package for derivative-free optimisation using differential evolution optimization, to C++. By u...

RcppClassic 0.9.10
A maintenance release RcppClassic 0.9.9 is now at CRAN. This package provides a maintained version of the otherwise deprecated first Rcpp API; no new projects should use it. Per a request from CRAN, we changed the vignette to accomodate pandoc 2.* just as we did with the most recent pinp release two days ago. No other changes were made. CRANberri...

Per a request from CRAN, we changed the vignette to accomodate pandoc 2.* just as we did with the most recent pinp release two days ago. No other changes were made. The (this time really boring) NEWS file e...
