Another (again somewhat minor) maintenance release of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN earlier today.
RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers along with Rcpp for the glue to R.
A change in the most recent Rcpp
appears to cause void functions wrapper via Rcpp Modules to
return NULL, as opposed to being silent. That tickles
discrepancy between the current output and the saved (reference) output
of one test file, leading CRAN to display a NOTE which we were asked to
take care of. Done here in this release—and now that we know we will
also look into restoring the prior Rcpp behaviour. Other small changes
involved standard maintenance for continuous integration and updates to
files README.md and DESCRIPTION. More details are below.
Changes in version 0.2.13 (2024-09-03)
A test script was updated to account for the fact that it now returns a few instances of NULL under current Rcpp.
Small package maintenance updates have been made to the README and DESCRIPTION files as well as to the continuous integration setup.
CRANberries also provides a diffstat report for the latest release. As always, feedback is welcome and the best place to start a discussion may be the GitHub issue tickets page.
If you like this or other open-source work I do, you can now sponsor me at GitHub.
