<p>A new version of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.apt.html" target="_blank">RcppAPT</a> — our interface from R to the C++ library behind the awesome <code>apt</code>, <code>apt-get</code>, <code>apt-cache</code>, … commands and their cache powering Debian, Ubuntu and the like — arrived on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">CRAN</a> yesterday.</p>
<p>We added a few more functions in order to compute on the package graph. A concrete example is shown in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://eddelbuettel.github.io/rcppapt/binnmuAfterR340.html" target="_blank">this vignette</a> which determines the (minimal) set of remaining Debian packages requiring a rebuild under R 3.4.* to update their <code>.C()</code> and <code>.Fortran()</code> registration code. It has been used for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bugs.debian.org/868558" target="_blank">binNMU request #868558</a>.</p>
<p>As we also added a NEWS file, its (complete) content covering all releases follows below.</p>
