Dirk Eddelbuettel: RcppBDT 0.2.8 on CRAN: Maintenance

By zombie Loading...

Another minor maintenance release for the RcppBDT
package is now on CRAN, and had
been built as binary for r2u.

The RcppBDT
package is an early adopter of Rcpp
and was one of the first packages utilizing Boost and its Date_Time
library. The now more widely-used package anytime is a
direct descentant of RcppBDT.

This release is again primarily maintenance. We aid Rcpp in the transition away from calling
Rf_error() by relying in Rcpp::stop() which
has better behaviour and unwinding when errors or exceptions are
encountered. No feature or interface changes.

The NEWS entry follows:

Changes in version 0.2.8
(2026-03-12)

  • Replaced Rf_error with Rcpp::stop in three files

  • Maintenance updates to continuous integration

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there
is also a diffstat report for this
release. For questions, suggestions, or issues please use the issue tracker
at the GitHub
repo.
