  "textContent": "A new maintenance release 0.4.27 of RProtoBuf arrived on CRAN today. RProtoBuf provides R with bindings for the Google Protocol Buffers\n(“ProtoBuf”) data encoding and serialization library used and released by Google, and deployed very widely in numerous projects as a language and operating-system agnostic protocol. The new release is also already as a binary via r2u.\n\nThis release adjusts to a change upstream. Luca Billi noticed that upstream removed some fields from `FieldDescriptor`, filed and issue and followed up with a spotless PR. No other changes.\n\nThe following section from the NEWS.Rd file has all details and links.\n\n> #### Changes in RProtoBuf version 0.4.27 (2026-04-26)\n>\n>   * Adjust to `FieldDescriptor` API changes in ProtoBuf 3.4 (Luca Billi in #114 fixing #113)\n>\n\n\nThanks to my CRANberries, there is a diff to the previous\nrelease. The RProtoBuf page has copies of the (older)\npackage vignette, the ‘quick’\noverview vignette, and the pre-print\nof our JSS paper. Questions, comments etc should go to the GitHub issue\ntracker off the GitHub repo.\n\nThis post by Dirk\nEddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog. If you like this or other open-source work I do, you can sponsor me at\nGitHub. You can also sponsor my Tour\nde Shore 2026 ride in support of the Maywood Fine Arts Center.",
