A new maintenance release 0.0.7 of RcppXts is now on CRAN, and has been built for r2u. The RcppXts package demonstrates how to access the export C API of xts which we contributed a looong time ago. There are by now a more example packages around this C level access to another package, but this one was an early example.
This release is strictly maintenance, updating continuous integration, the README.md file and other packaging conventions adopted since the last release four years ago.
The NEWS entries follow.
Changes in version 0.0.7 (2026-09-09)
Corrected a docstring for the module
Updated continuous integration setup several times
Simplified setup by removing no-longer-needed Makevars
Added badges to README.md
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.
