my favorite #rstats typo in a while witchCallingHandlers

Added a few new types to my repo of R #rstats package metadata samples: github.com/MichaelChiri... - LLM artifacts like AGENTS.md - air.toml - .lintr - devcontainer what else am I missing? any repos I should track?

OK nomenclature check -- is it a test_that() unit and an expect_*() test? e.g. "this test_that() unit is too complicated, it has too many tests"? or is a unit the file which has tests consisting of expectations? cc @hadley.nz

terrible news. RIP & forever grateful for his contributions to open source 🙏🙏🙏

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1 April of Tomáš Kalibera, a valuable member of the R Core Team for close to 10 years, after a short but aggressive illness. Tomáš is survived by his wife and 1 year old son. A full obituary will be posted in due time.

Look under your tree! 🌲 🎁 There's a major #rstats #rdatatable release waiting! A tremendous thanks to all involved and especially those contributing to some major (performance-maintaining!!) rewrites around the non-API issue. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Major features include: - a TON of improvements around rolling functions - comment.char in fread() - cbindlist() and mergelist()

never seen that one before... any idea @eddelbuettel.com I don't see any indication Rcpp has ever required R 4.6

I took over as maintainer for {patrick} -- a {testthat} extension for running parameterized tests. we have a patch release adapting to {testthat} 3.3.0. h/t Hadley for the proactive fix! #rstats cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Happy Thanksgiving, and happy {lintr} release day :) #rstats Lots, as usual: * native pipe enforcement by default * encourage %||% * discourage if (all.equal(...)) * exclude by glob in .lintr * loads of robustness fixes Thanks as ever for all contributions! cran.r-project.org/web/packages...
