pkgKitten 0.2.4 on CRAN: Updates

kitten

A shiny new release 0.2.4 of pkgKitten arrived on CRAN earlier, and has also been been uploaded to Debian. pkgKitten makes it simple to create new R packages via a simple function invocation. A wrapper kitten.r exists in the littler package to make it even easier.

This release contains several improvements to the (optional) setup of the (wonderful) tinytest package, now supports the (now mandatory) ‘Authors@R’ and polished a few aspect around the package repository and continuous integrations.

The set of changes follows.

Changes in version 0.2.4 (2024-08-30)

  • The .Rbuildignore stanza now includes .github

  • The support of and usage illustrations of tinytest are much enhanced (Paul Hudor in #18 adressing #19 and #20)

  • The .gitignore file now includes C++ related files

  • Improvements and polish to badges and continuous integration

  • The DESCRIPTION file now contains an Authors@R entry

More details about the package are at the pkgKitten webpage, the pkgKitten docs site, and the pkgKitten GitHub repo.

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release.
