Indeed, this should be required given that you do not use or test
under Windows, yet there are many Windows users.
This is just plain wrong. We do test on windows. We obviously want
it to work on windows.
Good to know. This was hard to see given the dismissive comments about
Windows made
earlier in this thread.
I don't like windows at all, but people seem to use it.
As I said to you privately, releasing this version was higher on our
(mainly mine) priority list because I wanted to demonstrate the
released version. I though I had time to alert you but my time has
been sinked by the conference, and the wireless connection was not
all that good.
Are you prepared to make Dirk's assurance more precise by stating that
in the future
releases will not be done if known incompatibilities are introduced with
client packages
that will cause the build of those client packages to fail?
no. see this in about every single file:
// Rcpp is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
// WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

You are of
course free to set your
priorities as you see fit
how nice of you
but client package authors need to understand
these priorities.
no comment ... not even a sarcasm
