A new release of our RApiDatetime package is now on CRAN.
RApiDatetime
provides a number of entry points for C-level functions of the R API for
Date and Datetime calculations. The functions
asPOSIXlt and asPOSIXct convert between long
and compact datetime representation, formatPOSIXlt and
Rstrptime convert to and from character strings, and
POSIXlt2D and D2POSIXlt convert between
Date and POSIXlt datetime. Lastly,
asDatePOSIXct converts to a date type. All these functions
are rather useful, but were not previously exported by R for C-level use
by other packages. Which this package aims to change.
This release accomodates a CRAN request (as one does) to change (one
single) instance of sprintf() to snprintf().
No more, no less.
