Hi all,
It is March already! Which not only means that Spring and March Madness are
around the corner, but also that we should have another Rcpp release at the
current thrice-a-year cadence.
Rcpp 1.0.3.8 is the current tip of master. I more or less continually test it
anyway, and have tested it in the last few days with two complete reverse
dependency runs over all of CRAN (minus a short exclusion list). No new
issues were found, and we have a generally impressively low count of errors.
[1] So it looks ready. Obviously, my local tests as well as r-devel tests
(both on Linux) are also fine.
To facilitate further and more widespread testing pre-release, I just pushed
the .tar.gz in the 'rcpp-drat' repo, so if you install from source try eg
install.packages("Rcpp", repos="https://RcppCore.github.io/drat";)
or one of the other drat or command-line based commands in the README at that
repo at https://github.com/RcppCore/drat
It would be particularly beneficial if those with "unsual" build dependencies
tested it as we would increase overall coverage beyond what I get from
testing against 1800+ CRAN packages. BioConductor would also be welcome.
If anyone would like a Windows binary drop me a line and I can add a build
from win-builder to the drat.
Thanks for helping to test, cheers, Dirk
[1] CRAN is purging packages like never before; one that failed for was just
taken off over night. The removal counts, per CRANberries, are way up this year.
