#cran — Public Fediverse posts

My #RStats package for forensic authorship analysis, 'idiolect', now has an associated paper published in the Journal of Open Source Software: https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.07575. New release of idiolect, 1.2.0, also available from #CRAN.

tandis que le CRAN organise la cohérence entre les différentes versions de ses packages, ce travail d'alignement fait malheureusement défaut dans Pypi, raison pour laquelle Bruno Rodrigues plaide pour un meilleur contrôle des packages dans PyPi sous l'aspect de leur interopérabilité avec les autres packages qu'il contient https://brodrigues.co/posts/2025-08-22-pypan.html #Pypi #CRAN #DependencyHell

chromConverter 0.7.5 is finally available on CRAN! Major changes since v0.2.1 include support for 10+ new file formats (Shimadzu LCD/QGD, Agilent D, Varian SMS, Allotrope ASM, ANDI MS/CHROM, mzML), parallel processing, and improved metadata extraction.

{zstdlite} news - package was accepted by CRAN 2 days ago, and has now been removed from CRAN by BDR for pretty weak policy "violations".

It feels like something that could have been emailed to me for discussion, instead of straightout rejection-after-initial-acceptance.

@hsorlie @JorisMeys @wviechtb To find the versions of packages that worked at a point in time in #CRAN you can use the newly released #rang https://cran.r-project.org/package=rang It might help to find the exact dependencies to make #RMediation work.

@rstats I would like to ask you about your experience with multi-threading and multi-core processors in R:

What is the current state of official CRAN R in using multi-threaded libraries to fully utilize multi-core processors? Were there any recent developments (on Linux and Windows)?
Now in 2020, how is the performance of CRAN R compared to Microsoft/Revolution R?
