Release 0.6.31 of the digest package arrived at CRAN this weekend, and is being uploaded to Debian as well.
digest creates hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the md5
, sha-1
, sha-256
, sha-512
, crc32
, xxhash32
, xxhash64
, murmur32
, spookyhash
, and blake3
algorithms) permitting easy comparison of R language objects. It is a mature and widely-used as many tasks may involve caching of objects for which it provides convenient general-purpose hash key generation to quickly identify the various objects.
This release contains the tiny change (in maybe a dozen places) triggered recently by macOS and now checked for by r-devel
which consists of replacing (v)sprintf
calls with (v)snprintf
. No more, no less.
