A follow-up release 0.3.11 to the recent 0.3.10 release release of the anytime package arrived on CRAN two days ago. The package is fairly feature-complete, and code and functionality remain mature and stable, of course.
anytime
is a very focused package aiming to do just one thing really
well: to convert anything in integer, numeric, character,
factor, ordered, … input format to either POSIXct (when called as
anytime) or Date objects (when called as
anydate) – and to do so without requiring a format
string as well as accomodating different formats in one input
vector. See the anytime page,
or the GitHub repo
for a few examples, and the beautiful documentation site
for all documentation.
This release simply skips one test file. CRAN labeled an error ‘M1mac’ yet it did not reproduce on any of the other M1 macOS I can access (macbuilder, GitHub Actions) as this appeared related to a local setting of timezone values I could not reproduce anywwhere. So the only way to get rid of the ‘fail’ is to … not to run the test. Needless to say the upload process was a little tedious as I got the passive-aggressive ‘not responding’ treatment on a first upload and the required email answer it lead to. Anyway, after a few days, and even more deep breaths, it is taken care of and now the package result standing is (at least currently) pristinely clean.
The short list of changes follows.

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report of changes relative to the previous release. The issue tracker tracker off the GitHub repo can be use for questions and comments. More information about the package is at the package page, the GitHub repo and the documentation site.
