RcppFarmHash 0.0.4 on CRAN: Maintenance

Another minor maintenance release of the RcppFarmHash package is now on CRAN as version 0.0.4.

RcppFarmHash wraps the Google FarmHash family of hash functions (written by Geoff Pike and contributors) that are used for example by Google BigQuery for the FARM_FINGERPRINT digest.

This releases updates several of package internal files for continuous intergration and package data.

The brief NEWS entry follows:

Changes in version 0.0.4 (2026-09-06)

  • Minor updates to continuous integration, README.md and DESCRIPTION

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release. For questions, suggestions, or issues please use the issue tracker at the GitHub repo.
