<br>
Thank you so much for the numerous reminders about this request of yours.<br>
<br>
You will be pleased to know that as part of our ongoing search for quality, the current development version of the Rcpp package no longer contains code from what we call the `classic Rcpp' API. We owe this classic API to your contribution and for that we are grateful. It will be released as another package outside of Rcpp as a courtesy to R users and CRAN package maintainers who still want to use this API which we consider deprecated.<br>
<br>
As of the current svn status of Rcpp (rev 2711 on r-forge), your name appears in several places, detailed below. Feel free to take whatever actions you find appropriate if this does not suit your needs.<br>
<br>
Lastly, please do not take R-devel hostage of this thread anymore. Feel free to send your questions and remarks to the place where it belongs: the Rcpp-devel mailing list.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Romain<br>
