<p><a href="https://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> requested a release updating any URLs for Omegahat to the (actually working) <a href="http://www.omegahat.net/">omegahat.net</a> URL. The <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf.html">RProtoBuf</a> 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 <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> today. It contains the requested change, and pretty much nothing else.</p>
<p><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf.html">RProtoBuf</a> provides <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a> bindings for the <a href="https://github.com/google/protobuf">Google Protocol Buffers (&quot;Protobuf&quot;)</a> data encoding and serialization library used and released by Google, and deployed as a language and operating-system agnostic protocol by numerous projects.</p>
<p>The <code>NEWS</code> file summarises the release as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<h4>Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.7 (2016-10-27)</h4>
<ul><li>At the request of CRAN, two documentation instances referring to the Omegehat repository were updated to <a href="http://omegahat.net/">http://omegahat.net</a></li>
</ul></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/">CRANberries</a> also provides a <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/2016/10/29#RProtoBuf_0.4.7">diff to the previous release</a>. The <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf.html">RProtoBuf</a> page has an <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf/RProtoBuf-intro.pdf">older package vignette</a>, a <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf/RProtoBuf-quickref.pdf">'quick' overview vignette</a>, a <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rprotobuf/RProtoBuf-unitTests.pdf">unit test summary vignette</a>, and the <a href="https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/RProtoBuf/vignettes/RProtoBuf-paper.pdf">pre-print for the JSS paper</a>.
