The tenth release of the qlcal package arrivied at CRAN today.
qlcal delivers the calendaring parts 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. Examples are in the README at the repository, the package page, and course at the CRAN package page.
This releases synchronizes qlcal with the QuantLib release 1.33 and its updates to 2024 calendars.
Changes in version 0.0.10 (2024-01-24)
- Synchronized with QuantLib 1.33
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.

A new maintenance 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 responds to a CRAN request to clean up empty
macros and sections in Rd files. Moreover, because the windows portion
of the corresponding R-internal code underwent some changes, our
(#ifdef conditional) coverage here is a little behind and
created a warning under the newer UCRT setup. So starting with this
release we are back to OS_type: unix meaning there will not
be any Windows builds at CRAN.
If you would like that to change, and ideally can work in the Windows
portion, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Details of the release follow based on the NEWS file.
Changes in RApiDatetime version 0.0.9 (2024-01-23)
- Replace auto-generated stale RApitDatetime-package.Rd with macro-filled stanza to satisfy CRAN request.
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release.
