A new bug-fix release release 0.4.1 of RProtoBuf, is now on CRAN. RProtoBuf provides GNU R bindings for the Google Protocol Buffers (“Protobuf”) data encoding library used and released by Google, and deployed as a language and operating-system agnostic protocol by numerous projects.

Murray once more shouldered most of the actual burden and fixed a number of issues detailed below.

Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.1 (2014-03-25)

  • Document and add a test for the deprecated group functionality.

  • Add a CITATION file pointing to our arXiv.org preprint.

  • Fix a bug in the show method for EnumDescriptor types.

  • Import all top-level enums from imported .proto files.

  • Removed duplicate enum value type from the unit tests that caused problems with the most recent libprotobuf-2.5. (without option allow_alias).

CRANberries also provides a diff to the previous release. More information is at the RProtoBuf page which has a draft package vignette, a ‘quick’ overview vignette and a unit test summary vignette. Questions, comments etc should go to the rprotobuf mailing list off the RProtoBuf page at R-Forge.
