Dirk Eddelbuettel: RApiDatetime 0.0.10 on CRAN: Maintenance
A new maintenance release of our RApiDatetime
package is now on CRAN, coming
just about two years after the previous maintenance release.
RApiDatetime
provides a number of entry points for C-level functions of the R API for
Date and Datetime calculations. The functions
asPOSIXlt and asPOSIXct convert between long
and compact datetime representation, formatPOSIXlt and
Rstrptime convert to and from character strings, and
POSIXlt2D and D2POSIXlt convert between
Date and POSIXlt datetime. Lastly,
asDatePOSIXct converts to a date type. All these functions
are rather useful, but were not previously exported by R for C-level use
by other packages. Which this package aims to change.
This release avoids use of and which are now outlawed under R-devel,
and makes a number of other smaller maintenance updates. Just like the
previous release, we are at OS_type: unix meaning there
will not be any Windows builds at CRAN. If you would like that to
change, and ideally can work in the Windows portion, do not hesitate to
get in touch.
Details of the release follow based on the NEWS file.
