RcppSpdlog 0.0.28 on CRAN: Micro-Maintenance

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:47:00 CDT

Version 0.0.28 of RcppSpdlog arrived on CRAN today, has been uploaded to Debian and built for r2u. The (nice) documentation site has been refreshed too. RcppSpdlog bundles spdlog, a wonderful header-only C++ logging library with all the bells and whistles you would want that was written by Gabi Melman, and also includes fmt by Victor Zverovich. You can learn more at the nice package documention site.

This release contains a rebuild RcppExports.cpp to aid Rcpp in the transition towards Rcpp::stop() and away from Rf_error() in its user packages. No othe

The NEWS entry for this release follows.

Changes in RcppSpdlog version 0.0.28 (2026-03-19)

Regenerate RcppExports.cpp to switch to (Rf_error) aiding in Rcpp transition to Rcpp::stop()

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report detailing changes. More detailed information is on the RcppSpdlog page, or the package documention site.
