(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2018/02/02#rvowpalwabbit_0.0.12"> Thinking inside the box </a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>And yet another boring little <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rvowpalwabbit.html" target="_blank">RVowpalWabbit</a> package update, now to version 0.0.12, and still in response to the <a rel="nofollow" href="htts://cran.r-project.org" target="_blank">CRAN</a> request of not writing files where we should not (as caught by new tests added by Kurt). I had misinterpreted one flag and actually instructed to examples and tests to <em>write</em> model files back to the installed directory. Oops. Now fixed. I also added a reusable script for such tests <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rvowpalwabbit/blob/master/local/writeCheck.sh" target="_blank">in the repo</a> for everybody’s perusal (but it will require Linux and bindfs).</p>
<p>No new code or features were added.</p>
<p>We should mention once more that is parallel work ongoing in a higher-level package interfacing the <code>vw</code> binary — <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rvw" target="_blank">rvw</a> — as well as plan to redo this package via the external libraries. In that sounds interesting to you, please get in touch. I am also thinking that <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rvw" target="_blank">rvw</a> extensions / work may make for a good GSoC 2018 project (and wrote up a short <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2018/wiki/Extending-%27rvw&amp;%2339;-and-reintegrating-vowpal-wabbit" target="_blank">note</a>). Again, if interested, please get in touch.</p>
