A new version of the RcppExamples package is now on CRAN.
The RcppExamples package provides a handful of short examples detailing by concrete working examples how to set up basic R data structures in C++. This version takes advantage of the updated date and datetime classes in Rcpp 0.12.8 (which are optional for now and being phased in while we deprecate the old ones).
A NEWS extract follows:
Changes in RcppExamples version 0.1.8 (2016-11-24)
Updated DateExample to show vector addition available under Rcpp 0.12.8 when the (currently still phased in and optional) new Date(time) classes are used via the define in src/Makevars,.win; with fallback code for older versions
Other minor edits to DESCRIPTION and README.md
Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release.
