<p>A new release 0.2.14 of <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rinside.html">RInside</a> is now on <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> and in <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rinside.html">RInside</a> provides a set of convenience classes which facilitate embedding of <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a> inside of C++ applications and programs, using the classes and functions provided by <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html">Rcpp</a>.</p>
<p>It has been nearly two years since the last release, and a number of nice extensions, build robustifications and fixes had been submitted over this period---see below for more. The only larger and visible extension is both a new example and some corresponding internal changes to allow a readline prompt in an RInside application, should you desire it.</p>
<p><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rinside.html">RInside</a> is stressing the CRAN system a little in that it triggers a number of NOTE and WARNING messages. Some of these are par for the course as we get close to R internals not all of which are &quot;officially&quot; in the API. This lead to the submission sitting a little longer than usual in incoming queue. Going forward we may need to find a way to either sanction these access point, whitelist them or, as a last resort, take the package off CRAN. Time will tell.</p>
