RcppQuantuccia 0.0.2

A first maintenance release of RcppQuantuccia got to CRAN earlier today.

RcppQuantuccia brings the Quantuccia header-only subset / variant of QuantLib to R. At present it mostly offers calendaring, but Quantuccia just got a decent amount of new functions so hopefully we can offer more here too.

This release was motivated by the upcoming Rcpp release which will deprecate the okd Date and Datetime vectors in favours of newer ones. So this release of RcppQuantuccia switches to the newer ones.

Other changes are below:

Changes in version 0.0.2 (2017-11-06)

  • Added calendars for Canada, China, Germany, Japan and United Kingdom.

  • Added bespoke and joint calendars.

  • Using new date(time) vectors (#6).

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report relative to the previous release. More information is on the RcppQuantuccia page. Issues and bugreports should go to the GitHub issue tracker.
