A new version 0.1.10 of the RcppExamples package is now on CRAN, and marks the first release in five and half years.
RcppExamples provides a handful of short examples detailing by concrete working examples how to set up basic R data structures in C++. It also provides a simple example for packaging with Rcpp. The package provides (generally fairly) simple examples, more (and generally longer) examples are at the Rcpp Gallery.
This releases brings a bi-directorial example of factor
conversion, updates the Date example, removes the
explicitly stated C++ compilation standard (which CRAN now nags about) and brings a
number of small fixes and maintenance that accrued since the last
release. The NEWS extract follows:
