(This article was first published on <strong><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2017/05/06#x13binary_1.1.39-1"> Thinking inside the box </a></strong>, and kindly contributed to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers)</a> </div>
<p>The US Census Bureau released a new build 1.1.39 of their <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as/">X-13ARIMA-SEATS</a> program, released as binary and source. So <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christophsax.com/">Christoph</a> and went to work and updated our <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=x13binary">x13binary</a> package on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a>.</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=x13binary">x13binary</a> package takes the pain out of installing <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as/">X-13ARIMA-SEATS</a> by making it a fully resolved <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> dependency. For example, if you install the excellent <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=seasonal">seasonal</a> package by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.christophsax.com/">Christoph</a>, then <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as/">X-13ARIMA-SEATS</a> will get pulled in via the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=x13binary">x13binary</a> package and <em>things just work</em>: Depend on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=x13binary">x13binary</a> and on all relevant OSs supported by R, you should have an <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.census.gov/srd/www/x13as/">X-13ARIMA-SEATS</a> binary installed which will be called seamlessly by the higher-level packages such as <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=seasonal">seasonal</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=gunsales">gunsales</a>.</p>
<p>So now the full power of the what is likely the world’s most sophisticated deseasonalization and forecasting package is now at your fingertips and the R prompt, just like any other of the 10,500+ <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> packages.</p>
<p>Not many packaging changes in this release besides updating the underlying builds, but we switched our versioning scheme to reflect that our releases are driven by the US Census Bureau releases. But thanks to an initial contribution by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/dashaub">David Schaub</a> we now support the ‘armhf’ architecture common on Chromebooks running Linux.</p>
<p>Courtesy of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/">CRANberries</a>, there is also a <code>diffstat</code> report for <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranberries/2017/05/05#x13binary_1.1.39-1">this release</a>.</p>
