<p>Issue ticket <a href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rprotobuf/issues/20">#20</a> demonstrated that we had not yet set up Windows for version 3 of <a href="https://github.com/google/protobuf">Google Protocol Buffers (&quot;Protobuf&quot;)</a> -- while the other platforms support it. So I made the change, and there is release 0.4.8.</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>
