RProtoBuf 0.2.4
A new release 0.2.4 of RProtoBuf is now on CRAN. RProtoBuf provides GNU R bindings for the Google Protobuf data encoding library used and released by Google.
This release once again contains a number of patches kindly contributed by Murray Stokely, as well as an added header file needed to build with the g++ 4.7 version which has become the build standard on CRAN.
The NEWS file entry follows below:

0.2.4 2012-05-15 o Applied several patches kindly supplied by Murray Stokely to - properly work with repeated strings - correct C++ function naming in a few instances - add an example of ascii export/import of messages o Suppport g++-4.7 and stricter #include file checking by adding unistd o Made small improvements to the startup code

CRANberries also provides a diff to the previous release 0.2.3. More information is at the RProtoBuf page which has a draft package vignette, a 'quick' overview vignette and a unit test summary vignette. Questions, comments etc should go to the rprotobuf mailing list off the RProtoBuf page at R-Forge. Updated to show NEWS rather than ChangeLog
