RProtoBuf 0.4.7: Mostly harmless

CRAN requested a release updating any URLs for Omegahat to the (actually working) omegahat.net URL. The RProtoBuf package had this in one code comment (errr…) and on bibfile entry. Oh well — so that caused this 0.4.7 release which arrived on CRAN today. It contains the requested change, and pretty much nothing else.

RProtoBuf provides R bindings for the Google Protocol Buffers ("Protobuf") data encoding and serialization library used and released by Google, and deployed as a language and operating-system agnostic protocol by numerous projects.

The NEWS file summarises the release as follows:

Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.7 (2016-10-27)

• At the request of CRAN, two documentation instances referring to the Omegehat repository were updated to http://omegahat.net

CRANberries also provides a diff to the previous release. The RProtoBuf page has an older package vignette, a ‘quick’ overview vignette, a unit test summary vignette, and the pre-print for the JSS paper. Questions, comments etc should go to the GitHub issue tracker off the GitHub repo.
