A new minor version of the nanotime package for working with nanosecond timestamps arrived yesterday on CRAN.
nanotime uses the RcppCCTZ package for (efficient) high(er) resolution time parsing and formatting up to nanosecond resolution, and the bit64 package for the actual integer64 arithmetic.
This release just arranges things neatly before Leonardo Silvestri and I may shake things up with a possible shift to doing it all in S4 as we may need the added rigour for nanotime object operations for use in his ztsdb project.
Changes in version 0.1.2 (2017-03-27)
- The
as.integer64function is now exported as well.
We also have a diff to the previous version thanks to CRANberries. More details and examples are at the nanotime page; code, issue tickets etc at the GitHub repository.
