A new version 0.1.4 of the tint package arrived at CRAN today. tint provides a style ‘not unlike Tufte’ for use in html and pdf documents created from markdown. The github repo shows several examples in its README, more as usual in the package documentation.
This is the first release in over two years and it brings a few incremental changes which are described in detail below. The trigger was an email from CRAN desiring compacted pdf files inside the package sources. Which, coincidentally, was made a default about a year ago in the build.r script from littler I use to make packages. But as we had not updated tint this has not reached CRAN. So there.
The set of changes follows, which includes a helpful contributed PR for which we are always thankful. I also improved table rendering, most other changes are packaging mechanics.

A new maintenance release 0.0.6 of RcppXts is now on CRAN. The RcppXts package demonstrates how to access the export C API of xts which we contributed a looong time ago.
This release, like so many these days, was triggered by clang-15 wanting to see a void in an otherwise argument-less signature. We also updated a GitHub Action to avoid another nag from there.
The NEWS entries follow.
