RcppCNPy 0.2.14 on CRAN: Minor Maintenance

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 19:31:00 CDT

Another (again somewhat minor) maintenance release of the RcppCNPy package arrived on CRAN just now. RcppCNPy provides R with read and write access to NumPy files thanks to the cnpy library by Carl Rogers along with Rcpp for the glue to R.

The changes are all minor chores. As R now checks usage of packages in demos, we added the rbenchmark to Suggests: in DESCRIPTION. We refreshed the main continuous integration script for a minor update, and also replaced one URL in a badge to avoid a timeout during checks at CRAN. So … nothing user-facing this time! Full details are below.

Changes in version 0.2.14 (2024-11-03)

The rbenchmark package is now a Suggests: as it appears in demo

The continuous integration setup now uses r-ci with its embedded setup step

The URL used for the GPL-2 is now the R Project copy

CRANberries also provides a diffstat report for the latest release. As always, feedback is welcome and the best place to start a discussion may be the GitHub issue tickets page.
