  "textContent": "A new release 0.3.14 of RcppGSL is now on CRAN. The RcppGSL package provides an interface from R to the GNU GSL by relying on the Rcpp package. It has already been uploaded to Debian, and is also already available as a binary via r2u.\n\nThis release, the first in over three years, contains mostly maintenance changes. We polished the `fastLm` example implementation a little more, updated continunous integration as one does over such a long period, adopted the Authors@R convention, switched the (pre-made) pdf vignette to a new driver now provided by Rcpp, updated vignette references and URLs, and updated one call to `Rf_error` to aid in a Rcpp transition towards using only `Rcpp::stop` which unwinds error conditions better. (Technically this was a false positive on `Rf_error` but on the margin worth tickling this release after all this time.)\n\nThe NEWS entry follows:\n\n> #### Changes in version 0.3.14 (2026-03-05)\n>\n>   * Updated some internals of `fastLm` example, and regenerated `RcppExports.*` files\n>\n>   * Several updates for continuous integration\n>\n>   * Switched to using Authors@R\n>\n>   * Replace `::Rf_error` with `(Rf_error)` in old example to aid Rcpp transition to `Rcpp::stop` (or this pass-through)\n>\n>   * Vignette now uses the `Rcpp::asis` builder for pre-made pdfs\n>\n>   * Vignette references have been updated, URLs prefer https and DOIs\n>\n>\n\n\nThanks to my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release. More information is on the RcppGSL page. Questions, comments etc should go to the issue tickets at the GitHub repo.\n\nThis post by Dirk Eddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog.
