A boring little RVowpalWabbit package update to version 0.0.10 came in response to another CRAN request: We were switching directories to run tests (or examples) which is now discouraged, so we no longer do this as it turns that we can of course refer to the files directly as well. Much cleaner.

No new code or features were added.

We should mention once more that is parallel work ongoing in a higher-level package interfacing the vw binary — rvw — as well as plan to redo this package via the external libraries. In that sounds interesting to you, please get in touch.

More information is on the RVowpalWabbit page. Issues and bugreports should go to the GitHub issue tracker.
