gcbd 0.2.6

A pure maintenance release 0.2.6 of the gcbd package is now on CRAN. The gcbd proposes a benchmarking framework for LAPACK and BLAS operations (as the library can exchanged in a plug-and-play sense on suitable OSs) and records result in local database. Recent / upcoming changes to DBMI and RSQLite let me to update the package; there are no actual functionality changes in this release.

CRANberries also provides a diffstat report for the latest release.

RcppCNPy 0.2.6

A new version of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN a few days ago.

RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers.

This new release reflects all the suggestions and comments I received during the review process for the Journal of Open Source Software submission. I am happy to say that about twenty-nine days after I submitted, the paper was accepted and is now published.

Changes in version 0.2.6 (2016-09-25)

  • Expanded documentation in README.md

  • Added examples to help page

  • Added CITATION file for JOSS paper

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.
