RcppCNPy 0.2.10
Another small maintenance release of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN a few minutes ago. RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers. I updated and refreshed the vignettes, and also mention the reticulate-based alternative, and its still new-ish vignette, in the README.md. Changes i...

RQuantLib 0.4.5: Windows is back, and small updates
A brand new release of RQuantLib, now at version 0.4.5, just arrived on CRAN, and will get to Debian shortly. This release re-enables Windows builds thanks to a PR by Jeroen who now supplies a QuantLib library build in his rwinlib repositories. (Sadly, though, it is already one QuantLib release behind, so it would be awesome if a volunteer could ...

RcppArmadillo 0.9.100.5.0
A new RcppArmadillo release 0.9.100.5.0, based on the new Armadillo release 9.100.5 from earlier today, is now on CRAN and in Debian. It once again follows our (and Conrad’s) bi-monthly release schedule. Conrad started with a new 9.100.* series a few days ago. I ran reverse-depends checks and found an issue which he promptly addressed; CRAN fou...

littler 0.3.4: More updated examples
The fifth release of littler as a CRAN package is now available, following in the now more than ten-year history as a package started by Jeff in 2006, and joined by me a few weeks later. littler is the first command-line interface for R and predates Rscript. And it is (in my very biased eyes) better as it allows for piping as well shebang scripti...

AsioHeaders 1.12.1-1
A first update to the AsioHeaders package arrived on CRAN today. Asio provides a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming. It is also included in Boost – but requires linking when used as part of Boost. This standalone version of Asio is a header-only C++ library which can be used without linking (just like our BH pa...
