stringdist 0.9.4.2 was accepted on CRAN at the end of last week.
This release just fixes a few bugs affecting the stringdistmatrix function, when called with a single argument.

- bugfix in stringdistmatrix(a): Would segfault on q-gram w/input > ~7k strings and q>1 (thanks to Connor McKay)
- bugfix in jaccard distance: distance not always correct when passing multiple strings (thanks to Robert Carlson)
