RcppQuantuccia 0.1.3 on CRAN: Micro Maintenance

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 13:22:00 CDT

A minor release of RcppQuantuccia arrived on CRAN moments ago. RcppQuantuccia started from the Quantuccia header-only subset / variant of QuantLib which it brings it to R. This project validated the idea of making the calendaring functionality of QuantLib available in a more compact and standalone project – which we now do with qlcal which can be seen as a successor package to this earlier package. qlcal tracks QuantLib (releases) closely and provides approximately quarterly updates. Switching to using qlcal is generally recommended.

This release, the first in almost exactly two years, only updates internals (as detailed below). Notably it switches to ‘Authors@R’ to avoid a nag from CRAN on two platforms. The complete list changes for this release follows.

Changes in version 0.1.3 (2025-11-24)

A badge URL and link have been updated in README.md

The continuous integration sript switched first to r-ci-setup and then to the r-ci action with embedded setup

The DESCRIPTION file now uses Authors@R

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report relative to the previous release. More information is on the RcppQuantuccia page. Issues and bugreports should go to the GitHub issue tracker.
