<p>A new minor release of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/anytime.html" target="_blank">anytime</a> package arrived on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">CRAN</a> this morning. This is the thirteenth release, and the first since July as the package has gotten feature-complete.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/anytime.html" target="_blank">anytime</a> is a very focused package aiming to do just one thing <em>really</em> well: to convert <em>anything</em> in integer, numeric, character, factor, ordered, … format to either POSIXct or Date objects – and to do so <em>without requiring a format string</em>. See the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/anytime.html" target="_blank">anytime</a> page, or the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/anytime" target="_blank">GitHub README.md</a> for a few examples.</p>
<p>This release adds a nice new vignette, solidifies some code in response to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/kalibera/rchk" target="_blank">rchk tests by Tomas Kalibera</a> and updates some tests. We had some last-minute issues with the vignette on Windows, and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://about.me/joshuaulrich" target="_blank">Josh Ulrich</a> was very helpful with some additional tests. For now, the new vignette is added pre-built.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4>Changes in anytime version 0.3.2 (2018-11-05)</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Added a new vignette introducing the <span>anytime</span> package. Seemingly it cannot be compiled on Windows so included prebuilt.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Some more tests for <code>anydate</code> were added along with so code coverage tags.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The C++ code was robustified in two places to not trigger <code>rchk</code> warnings (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/anytime/pull/79" target="_blank">#79</a>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Three unit test files which fail on Solaris are now skipping this os as we cannot reproduce or test on this OS (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/anytime/pull/80" target="_blank">#80</a>).</p>
</li>
</ul>
