A new minor release 0.2.9 of RcppCCTZ is now on CRAN.
RcppCCTZ uses Rcpp to bring CCTZ to R. CCTZ is a C++ library for translating between absolute and civil times using the rules of a time zone. In fact, it is two libraries. One for dealing with civil time: human-readable dates and times, and one for converting between between absolute and civil times via time zones. And while CCTZ is made by Google(rs), it is not an official Google product. The RcppCCTZ page has a few usage examples and details. This package was the first CRAN package to use CCTZ; by now at least three others do—using copies in their packages which remains less than ideal.
This version adds a header file for the recently-exported three functions.
Changes in version 0.2.9 (2020-08-30)
- Provide a header
RcppCCZT_API.hfor client packages.- Show a simple example of parsing a YYYYMMDD HHMMSS.FFFFFF date.
We also have a diff to the previous version thanks to CRANberries. More details are at the RcppCCTZ page; code, issue tickets etc at the GitHub repository.

A new release 0.2.2 of the RcppSMC package arrived on CRAN earlier today (and once again as a very quick pretest-publish within minutes of submission).
RcppSMC provides Rcpp-based bindings to R for the Sequential Monte Carlo Template Classes (SMCTC) by Adam Johansen described in his JSS article. Sequential Monte Carlo is also referred to as Particle Filter in some contexts.
This releases contains two fixes from a while back that had not been released, a CRAN-requested update plus a few more minor polishes to make it pass R CMD check --as-cran as nicely as usual.
