A new release 0.4.18 of RQuantLib arrived at CRAN earlier today, and will be uploaded to Debian as well.
QuantLib is a very comprehensice free/open-source library for quantitative finance; RQuantLib connects it to the R environment and language.
This release of RQuantLib
comes about six months after the previous maintenance release. It brings
a few small updates triggered by small changes in the QuantLib releases
1.29 and 1.30. It also contains updates reflecting changes in the
rgl package kindly contributed by Duncan Murdoch. Last but
not least, Jeroen Ooms helped with two pull requests updating builds on,
repspectively, macOS and Windows by updating the pre-made libraries of
QuantLib.
Changes in RQuantLib version 0.4.18 (2023-05-01)
Use of several
rglfunctions was updated to a new naming scheme in the package (kindly contributed by Duncan Murdoch in #174)A default argument is now given for option surface plots
Changed call from SwaptionVolCube1 to SabrSwaptionVolatilityCube (conditional on using QuantLib 1.30 or later)
Some other deprecation warnings were tweaked as in QL test file
Builds for macOS and Windows were updated with more library build (changes kindly contributed by Jeron Ooms in #176 and #175)
Some remaining
throwcalls were replace byRcpp::stop
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the this release. As always, more detailed information is on the RQuantLib page. Questions, comments etc should go to the new rquantlib-devel mailing list. Issue tickets can be filed at the GitHub repo.
If you like this or other open-source work I do, you can now sponsor me at GitHub.
