Dirk Eddelbuettel: RProtoBuf 0.4.27 on CRAN: Upstream Adjustment
A new maintenance release 0.4.27 of RProtoBuf
arrived on CRAN today. RProtoBuf
provides R with bindings for the
Google Protocol Buffers
(“ProtoBuf”) data encoding and serialization library used and
released by Google, and deployed very widely in numerous projects as a
language and operating-system agnostic protocol. The new release is also
already as a binary via r2u.
This release adjusts to a change upstream. Luca Billi noticed that upstream
removed some fields from FieldDescriptor, filed and issue
and followed up with a spotless PR. No other changes.
The following section from the NEWS.Rd file has all details and
links.
Changes in
RProtoBuf version 0.4.27 (2026-04-26)
Thanks to my CRANberries, there
is a diff to the previous
release. The RProtoBuf
page has copies of the (older)
package vignette, the ‘quick’
overview vignette, and the pre-print
of our JSS paper. Questions, comments etc should go to the GitHub issue
tracker off the GitHub repo.
