OK, wait, I had missed this one by Dirk and Iñaki. I knew about system level 📦 being able to be installed by APT, but I somehow missed out on the RSPM and BSPM stuff. VERY COOL!! And Martin's comment in a Bioconductor help thread also makes more sense now!

The next version of `td` is vectorized: one call to @twelvedata returns a list of objects. Below is a simple example (also in the help page) retrieving the last five hours of SPY, QQQ, IWM and EWM as minute bars and plotting them. #rstats #fintwit #fintech @RinFinance

Actually, almost. This one still got a NOTE on windoze because the Dortmund setup (for some reasons ...) does not have a GITHUB_PAT whereas I managed to convince Vienna to add one so my numerous URL links tickle a NOTE in one and not the other... So one lightweight human check.

CRAN is still so darn impressive. An #rstats package with 823 reverse dependencies progresses through the update queue autoMAGICally in a few hours due to a bit of care, spit, polish and adherence to published policies on both sides. That service is a treasure. #rcpp

#rdatatable has changed fread's tz= default from "" to "UTC" in dev. See link to news item 1 below. Please test. Please let us know any objections otherwise this change will be released as v1.14.0 to convey the potentially breaking change. github.com/Rdatatable/data.t…

Periodic reminder that @marutterstat is doing us #rstats users on @ubuntu a huge favour. Using `wajig` by @kayontoga as `apt` front-end gives 'what is new since last run'. On this box a number of packages got added automagically to the PPA, all immediatly installabe as binaries.
