Dirk Eddelbuettel: tidyCpp 0.0.11 on CRAN: Microfix

By zombie Loading...

And yet another maintenance release of the tidyCpp
package arrived on CRAN this morning, just days after previous release
which itself came a mere week and a half after its predecessor. It has
been built for r2u as
well. The package offers a clean C++ layer (as well as one small C++
helper class) on top of the C API for R which aims to make use of this
robust (if awkward) C API a little easier and more consistent. See the
vignette for motivating
examples.

This release restores the small CSS file used by the vignette which
we, in a last-second decision, omitted from the previous release. Oddly,
it only failed under the ‘oldrel’ i.e. the R from now nearly two years
ago. But it was still an unenforced error, and this upload corrects
it.

Changes are summarized in the NEWS entry that follows.

Changes in tidyCpp
version 0.0.11 (2026-03-17)

  • Keep a CSS file in the package to allow vignette build on r-oldrel
    too

Thanks to 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.
