RcppFarmHash 0.0.1: New CRAN Package

A new package RcppFarmHash is now on CRAN in an inaugural version 0.0.1.

RcppFarmHash wraps the Google FarmHash family of hash functions (written by Geoff Pike and contributors) that are used for example by Google BigQuery for the FARM_FINGERPRINT.

The package was prepared and uploaded yesterday afternoon, and to my surprise already on CRAN this (early) morning when I got up. So here is another #ThankYouCRAN for very smoothing operations.

The very brief NEWS entry follows:

Changes in version 0.0.1 (2021-07-25)

  • Initial version and CRAN upload

If you like this or other open-source work I do, you can now sponsor me at GitHub.
