A minor maintenance release of the new package RcppFarmHash, first released in version 0.0.1 a week ago, is now on CRAN in an version 0.0.2.
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 digest.
This releases adds a #define which was needed on everybody’s favourite CRAN platform to not attempt to include a missing header endian.h. With this added #define all is well as we can already tell from looking at the CRAN status where the three machines maintained by you-may-know-who have already built the package. The others will follow over the next few days.
I also tweeted about the upload with a screenshot demonstrating an eight minute passage from upload to acceptance with the added #ThankYouCRAN tag to say thanks for very smooth and fully automated processing at their end.
The very brief NEWS entry follows:
Changes in version 0.0.2 (2021-08-02)

#include endian.hAdd badges and installation notes to README as package is on CRAN
