A new release of the AsioHeaders package arrived at CRAN earlier today. Asio provides a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming. It is also included in Boost – but requires linking when used as part of Boost. This standalone version of Asio is a header-only C++ library which can be used without linking (just like our BH package with parts of Boost).
This update brings a new upstream version which helps the three dependent packages using AsiooHeaders to remain compliant at CRAN, and has been prepared by Charlie Gao. Otherwise I made some routine updates to packaging since the last release in late 2022.
The short NEWS entry for AsioHeaders follows.
Changes in version 1.28.2-1 (2025-04-08)
Thanks to my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report for this release. Comments and suggestions about AsioHeaders are welcome via the issue tracker at the GitHub repo.
