I’m pleased to announce that the RQuantLib Windows binaries are now up to 0.4.4!  The RQuantLib pre-built Windows binaries have been frozen on CRAN since 0.4.2, but now you can get version 0.4.4 binaries on Dirk’s ghrr drat repo.

Installation is as simple as:

drat::addRepo(“ghrr”) # maybe use ‘install.packages(“drat”)’ first 
install.packages(“RQuantLib”, type=”binary”)

I will be able to create Windows binaries for future RQuantLib versions too, now that I have a Windows QuantLib build (version 1.11) to link against.

Dirk and I plan to talk with CRAN about getting the new binaries hosted there.  Regardless, they will always be available via the drat repo.
