dang 0.0.16: New Features, Some Maintenance

A new release of my mixed collection of things package dang package arrived at CRAN a little while ago. The dang package regroups a few functions of mine that had no other home as for example lsos() from a StackOverflow question from 2009 (!!), the overbought/oversold price band plotter from an older blog post, the market monitor blogged about as well as the checkCRANStatus() function tweeted about by Tim Taylor. And more so take a look.

This release brings a number of updates, including a rather nice improvement to the market monitor making updates buttery smooth and not flickering (with big thanks to Paul Murrell who calmly pointed out once again … that base R does of course have the functionality I was seeking) as well as three new functions (!!) and then a little maintenance on the -Wformat print format string issue that kept ‘everybody’ busy this week.

The NEWS entry follows.

Changes in version 0.0.16 (2023-12-02)

• Added new function str.language() based on post by Bill Dunlap

• Added new argument sleep in intradayMarketMonitor

• Switched to dev.hold() and dev.flush() in intradayMarketMonitor with thanks to Paul Murrell

• Updated continued integration setup, twice, and package badges

• Added new function shadowedPackages

• Added new function limitDataTableCores

• Updated two error() calls to updated tidyCpp signature to not tickle -Wformat warnings under R-devel

• Updated two URL to please link checks in R-devel

• Switch two tests for variable of variable to is.* and inherits(), respectively

tidyCpp 0.0.7 on CRAN: Maintenance

A maintenance release of the tidyCpp package arrived on CRAN this morning. The packages offers a clean C++ layer (as well as one small C++ helper class) on top of the C API for R which aims to make use of this robust (if awkward) C API a little easier and more consistent. See the vignette for motivating examples.

This release follows a number of other releases this week in accomodating the recently added -Wformat -Wformat-security from the development branch of R. It also includes a new example snippet illustrating creation of a numeric matrix.

The NEWS entry follows.

Changes in tidyCpp version 0.0.7 (2023-11-30)

• Add an example for a numeric matrix creator

• Update the continuous integration setup

• Accomodate print format warnings from r-devel

Thanks to my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release. For questions, suggestions, or issues please use the issue tracker at the GitHub repo.
