A new release 0.0.3 of the RcppFastAD package by James Yang and myself is now on CRAN.
RcppFastAD
wraps the FastAD
header-only C++ library by James which provides a C++
implementation of both forward and reverse mode of automatic
differentiation. It offers an easy-to-use header library (which we
wrapped here) that is both lightweight and performant. With a little of
bit of Rcpp glue, it is also easy to
use from R in simple C++ applications. This release turns compilation to
the C++20 standard as newer clang++ versions complained
about a particular statement (it took to be C++20) when compiled under
C++17. So we obliged.
The NEWS file for these two initial releases follows.
Changes in version 0.0.3 (2024-09-15)

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release. More information is available at the repository or the package page.
