anytime arrived on CRAN via release 0.0.1 a good two days ago. anytime aims to convert anything in integer, numeric, character, factor, ordered, ... format to POSIXct (or Date) objects.
This new release 0.0.2 adds two new functions to gather conversion formats -- and set new ones. It also fixed a minor build bug, and robustifies a conversion which was seen to be not quite right under some time zones.
The NEWS
file summarises the release:
Changes in Rcpp version 0.0.2 (2016-09-15)
