RApiSerialize 0.1.4 on CRAN: Added C++ Namespace

A new minor release 0.1.5 of RApiSerialize arrived on CRAN today. The RApiSerialize package is used by both my RcppRedis as well as by Travers excellent qs package. This release adds an optional C++ namespace, available when the API header file is included in a C++ source file. And as one often does, the release also brings a few small updates to different aspects of the packaging.

Changes in version 0.1.4 (2024-09-28)

  • Add C++ namespace in API header (Dirk in #9 closing #8)

  • Several packaging updates: switched to Authors@R, README.md badge updates, added .editorconfig and cleanup

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report relative to previous release. More details are at the RApiSerialize page; code, issue tickets etc at the GitHub repositoryrapiserializerepo.

RApiSerialize 0.1.3 on CRAN: Skipping XDR

A new bug fix release 0.1.3 of RApiSerialize got onto CRAN earlier today. This is the first release in well over a year, and permits the skip the XDR serialization format which is needed when transfering between big- and little-endian machines. But it comes at a certain run-time cost one can avoid on the (much more common) little-endian machines. This is a new option, and the old behavior is the default. Those who want to can now skip the step.

The RApiSerialize package is used by both my RcppRedis as well as by Travers excellent qs package. We also addressed the recent nag by the CRAN concerning ‘NO_REMAP’.

Changes in version 0.1.3 (2024-05-13)

  • Add an xdr argument to disable XDR for an approx. threefold speed increase (Travers Ching and Dirk in #6)

  • Use R_NO_REMAP and Rf_* prefix for API calls

  • Minor continuous integration updates

RApiSerialize 0.1.2 on CRAN: Small Bugfix

A new bug fix release 0.1.2 of RApiSerialize got onto CRAN earlier. It follows on the 0.1.1 release from earlier this month, and addresses a minor build issue where an error message, only in the case of missing long vector support, tried to use an i18n macro that is not supplied by the build.

The RApiSerialize package is used by both my RcppRedis as well as by Travers excellent qs package. Neither one of us has a need to switch to format 3 yet so format 2 remains the default. But along with other standard updates to package internals, it was straightforward to offer the newer format so that is what we did.

Changes in version 0.1.2 (2022-08-25)

  • Correct an error() call (when missing long vector support) to not use i18n macro

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat to the previous version. More details are at the RApiSerialize page; code, issue tickets etc at the GitHub repository.
