Since then we set up a new (open) mailing list for RQuantLib and, I am happy to report, sorted that Wind...

linl 0.0.3: Micro release
Our linl package for writing LaTeX letter with (R)markdown had a fairly minor release today, following up on the previous release well over a year ago. This version just contains one change which Mark van der Loo provided a few months ago with a clean PR. As another user was just bitten the same issue when using an included letterhead – which w...

pinp 0.0.7: More small YAML options

littler 0.3.6: Two neat enhancements
The seventh release of littler as a CRAN package is now available, following in the now more than twelve-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 sc...
