A new release of our linl package for writing LaTeX letters with (R)markdown is now on CRAN. linl makes it easy to write letters in markdown, with some extra bells and whistles thanks to some cleverness chiefly by Aaron.
This version add extended header and footer placement support thanks
to an included copy of wallpaper.sty as added in a nice PR
by Iñaki. As the previous
release was well over three years ago, we also enhanced continuous
integration in the process. The repository README.md
shows some screenshots of input and output files.
The NEWS entry follows:
Changes in linl version 0.0.5 (2023-01-11)
Several updates to continuous integration and testing
Enhanced placment functionality for images in header and footer via
wallpaper.styand new x and y offset variable (Iñaki Ucar in #30)
Courtesy of CRANberries, there is a comparison to the previous release. More information is on the linl page. For questions or comments use the issue tracker off the GitHub repo.

The fourth release of the still new-ish qlcal package arrivied at CRAN just now.
qlcal is based on the calendaring subset of QuantLib. It is provided (for the R package) as a set of included files, so the package is self-contained and does not depend on an external QuantLib library (which can be demanding to build). qlcal covers over sixty country / market calendars and can compute holiday lists, its complement (i.e. business day lists) and much more.
This release generalizes the advanceDate() function
(similar to what advanceUnits() already had), and updates
several calendars along with the upcoming QuantLib 1.29 release. This
includes updates for the UK and Australia related to changes in the
monarchy, an update for South Africa and the additional of 2023 holidays
for China.
Changes in version 0.0.4 (2023-01-11)
The
advanceDate{}function can now selects a business day convention, a time unit and an end-of-month conventionCalendars routines for Australia, China, South Africa, UK, US have been updated to current versions from QuantLib 1.29.
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report for this release. See the project page and package documentation for more details, and more examples.
