A new version 0.1.11 of the RcppExamples package is now on CRAN, and has been built for r2u.

RcppExamples provides a handful of short examples detailing by concrete working examples how to set up basic R data structures in C++. It also provides a simple example for packaging with Rcpp. The package provides (generally fairly) simple examples, more interesting, compelling (and generally longer) examples are at the Rcpp Gallery.

This releases updates a few Rd files to adhere to a stricter standing of checking by R. The NEWS extract follows:

Another minor maintenance release version 0.1.5 of package RcppClassicExamples arrived earlier today on CRAN, and has been built for r2u. This package illustrates usage of the very old and otherwise deprecated initial Rcpp API which no new projects should use as the normal and current Rcpp API is so much better.

This release follows one from six months ago, and is even smaller. We just update a few Rd files to adhere to a stricter standing of checking by R.

No new code or features. Full details below. And as a reminder, don’t use the old RcppClassic – use Rcpp instead.

Changes in version 0.1.5 (2026-09-02)
