The x13binary team is happy to share the availability of Release 1.1.61.2 of the x13binary package providing the X-13ARIMA-SEATS program by the US Census Bureau which arrived on CRAN earlier today, and has already been built for r2u.
This release responds to a CRAN request to display the
compiler version when building. x13binary, just
like three other packages there, creates and ships a local binary it
interfaces with. So our build was a little outside of
R CMD INSTALL ... but now signals build versions like R does. We also modernized and
simplified our continuous intgegration script based on r-ci.
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there
is also a diffstat report for this release showing
changes to the previous release.
