Another minor update 0.3.12 for our nanotime
package is now on CRAN. nanotime
relies on the RcppCCTZ
package (as well as the RcppDate
package for additional C++ operations) and offers efficient high(er)
resolution time parsing and formatting up to nanosecond resolution,
using the bit64
package for the actual integer64 arithmetic. Initially
implemented using the S3 system, it has benefitted greatly from a
rigorous refactoring by Leonardo who not only rejigged
nanotime internals in S4 but also added new S4 types for
periods, intervals and durations.
This release responds to recent CRAN nag of also suggesting packages used in demos, makes a small update to the CI script, and improves one version comparison for conditional code.
The NEWS snippet below has the fuller details.
Changes in version 0.3.12 (2025-04-02)
Update continuous integration to use r-ci action with bootstrap
Add ggplot2 to Suggests due to use in demo/ which is now scanned
Refine a version comparison for R 4.5.0 to be greater or equal
Thanks to my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report for this release. More details and examples are at the nanotime page; code, issue tickets etc at the GitHub repository – and all documentation is provided at the nanotime documentation site.
