New maintenance release: inline-r 0.7.2.0

[Boespflug, Mathieu]

Hi all,

I just pushed a new maintenance release to Hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/inline-r

The main new feature of this release is:

* OS X El Capitan compatibility. Make sure to use a recent c2hs when compiling.

We've revamped our CI setup in recent weeks. We now build on both OS X and Linux using Travis CI, and test and benchmark on Linux. We have a rewrite of the quasiquotation mechanism in the pipeline, which should result in considerably faster compile times. Once that's merged we'll be able to turn on tests for OS X as well.

Also in the pipeline:

* A revamped vector API

* supported for nested memory regions for releasing memory earlier (making regions actually useful).

* (possibly) a Haskell embedding of the ggplot2 DSL and first-class support for data.table.

Furthermore, my colleague Yves Parès contributed a new feature to Stack to achieve reproducible builds more portably than with Docker, using Nix. It's currently under review as a PR: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/pull/1285. This should make installing HaskellR on OS X just as failsafe as on Linux-with-Docker.

Best,

Hi Mathieu
Do you know and easy to install on OSX 10.11.3  I am struggling as libR seems to be missing when installed with stack.
tks

Hi Arbakra,

have a look at our .travis.yml file if you're having issues on OS X.
It shows how to compile all dependencies on a fresh OS X machine:

https://github.com/tweag/HaskellR/blob/master/.travis.yml

The important section is the "install" section. If you run into issues
then please paste the error message and maybe someone on the list who
works with OS X can chime in.

There is an alternative to using Homebrew: you can also use the Nix
package manager. To do so, follow the instructions here:
https://github.com/tweag/HaskellR#developing-haskellr, but remember to
pass the --nix flag to every invocation of Stack.

Best,
