Another minor maintenance release version 0.1.5 of package RcppClassicExamples arrived earlier today on CRAN, and has been built for r2u. This package illustrates usage of the very old and otherwise deprecated initial Rcpp API which no new projects should use as the normal and current Rcpp API is so much better.
This release follows one from six months ago, and is even smaller. We just update a few Rd files to adhere to a stricter standing of checking by R.
No new code or features. Full details below. And as a reminder, don’t use the old RcppClassic – use Rcpp instead.
