Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

luajr 0.1.7

  • Added support for passing the R type “raw” to Lua, as a string potentially with embedded nulls, and for returning strings with embedded nulls from Lua, which become “raw”s in R.

  • Replaced calls to Rf_allocVector3 with calls to Rf_allocVector, as the former is apparently not part of the API allowed in CRAN packages, as requested by CRAN.

  • @TimTaylor improved the R version of the “logistic map” example and benchmark in the main luajr vignette, so that now the R version is only 10x slower than the Lua version, not 2,500x slower. This fixes issue #2. Thanks Tim!

  • Removed a compiler flag, -Wformat, that was causing errors with some standard R environments, most notably the rocker/r-base Docker environment. This fixes issue #1. Thanks @jonocarroll for reporting and helping to fix luajr’s first official bug! :-)
