RProtoBuf provides R bindings for the Google Protocol Buffers ("ProtoBuf") data encoding and serialization library used and released by Google, and deployed fairly widely in numerous projects as a language and operating-system agnostic protocol.
A new releases RProtoBuf 0.4.10 just appeared on CRAN. It is a maintenance releases replacing one leftover errorenous use of package= in .Call with the correct PACKAGE= (as requsted by CRAN). It also integrates a small robustification in the deserializer when encountering invalide objects; this was both reported and fixed by Jeffrey Shen.
Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.10 (2017-08-13)
CRANberries also provides a diff to the previous release. The RProtoBuf page has an older package vignette, a 'quick' overview vignette, a unit test summary vignette, and the pre-print for the JSS paper. Questions, comments etc should go to the GitHub issue tracker off the GitHub repo.
