Another (again somewhat minor) maintenance release of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN just now. RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers along with Rcpp for the glue to R.
The changes are all minor chores. As R now checks usage of packages
in demos, we added the rbenchmark to
Suggests: in DESCRIPTION. We refreshed the main continuous
integration script for a minor update, and also replaced one URL in a
badge to avoid a timeout during checks at CRAN. So … nothing user-facing
this time! Full details are below.
Changes in version 0.2.14 (2024-11-03)
The rbenchmark package is now a Suggests: as it appears in
demoThe continuous integration setup now uses
r-ciwith its embedded setup stepThe URL used for the GPL-2 is now the R Project copy
CRANberries also provides a diffstat report for the latest release. As always, feedback is welcome and the best place to start a discussion may be the GitHub issue tickets page.

A littler two weeks a short post announced the duckdb-mlpack as ‘ML quacks’: combining the powerful C++ machine learning library mlpack with the amazing analytical database engine duckdb. About a week ago another short post covered first extensions. We actually followed-up with release 0.0.3 days later, and never posted about it so this short note catches up.
In release 0.0.3, we provide macOS binaries: following a known issue with one of the components, we apply a simple patch to enable the build. Next up are wasm and windows, if you know your way around these platforms please get in touch. Release 0.0.3 also added first unit tests, serializes the coefficients from the (regularized) linear regression into the output table.
See see two previous posts linked above for details and background, the repo for code, issues and more, and the extension page for more about this duckdb community extension.
