pkgKitten 0.1.5: Creating R Packages that purr

kitten

Another minor release 0.1.5 of pkgKitten just hit on CRAN today, after a break of almost three years.

This release provides a few small changes. The default per-package manual page now benefits from a second refinement (building on what was introduced in the 0.1.4 release) in using the Rd macros referring to the DESCRIPTION file rather than duplicating information. Several pull requests fixes sloppy typing in the README.md, NEWS.Rd or manual page—thanks to all contributors for fixing these. Details below.

Changes in version 0.1.5 (2019-10-22)

  • More extensive use of newer R macros in package-default manual page.

  • Install .Rbuildignore and .gitignore files.

  • Use the updated Travis run script.

  • Use more Rd macros in default 'stub' manual page (#8).

  • Several typos were fixed in README.md, NEWS.Rd and the manual page (#9, #10)

More details about the package are at the pkgKitten webpage and the pkgKitten GitHub repo.

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release
