yes, using<br>
this service as part of integration testing before releasing to CRAN<br>
will reduce<br>
the number of problems for client packages that use Rcpp. 1000 unit<br>
tests will<br>
not help.<br>
Indeed, this should be required given that you do not use or test<br>
under Windows, yet there are many Windows users.<br>

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.<br>

You are of course free to set your<br>
priorities as you see fit, but client package authors need to understand these priorities.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Dominick<br><br></div></div><br>
