(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2018/02/13#bh_1.66.0-1"> Thinking inside the box </a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>A new release of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/bh.html" target="_blank">BH</a> package arrived on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">CRAN</a> a little earlier: now at release 1.66.0-1. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/bh.html" target="_blank">BH</a> provides a sizeable portion of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boost.org/" target="_blank">Boost</a> C++ libraries as a set of template headers for use by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.r-project.org/" target="_blank">R</a>, possibly with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a> as well as other packages.</p>
<p>This release upgrades the version of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boost.org/" target="_blank">Boost</a> to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_66_0.html" target="_blank">Boost 1.66.0</a> version released recently, and also adds one exciting new library: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/compute/doc/html/index.html" target="_blank">Boost compute</a> which provides a C++ interface to multi-core CPU and GPGPU computing platforms based on OpenCL.</p>
<p>Besides the usual small patches we need to make (<em>i.e.</em>, cannot call <code>abort()</code> etc pp to satisfy <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html" target="_blank">CRAN Policy</a>) we made one significant new change in response to a relatively recent <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html" target="_blank">CRAN Policy</a> change: compiler diagnostics are not suppressed for <code>clang</code> and <code>g++</code>. This may make builds somewhat noisy so we all may want to keep our <code>~/.R/Makevars</code> finely tuned suppressing a bunch of warnings…</p>
