Changes in version 5.5.2

New features

• Added a new feature to automatically find the latest GitHub release (currently 5.5.2). Unfortunately, this requires an additional import: the gh package.
• Users will also have to use the new cgal_install() function to download the header files AFTER installation. This can be circumvented via some environmental options as listed in the installation vignette
• There’s now an installation vignette!
• Made the cleaning up of the calls to std::cerr optional with default to clean them up. See documentation for cgal_install().

Minor improvements and Bug Fixes

• CRAN was throwing warnings in Windows versions. New update might fix.
• Additionally, the automatic download on install threw some problems on cluster computing. Should be fixed now (#)
• cgal_version() will now display the guessed version from GitHub OR the file/url path used to download/install the headerfiles.
• version number, as always, aligns with latest CGAL version.

Changes in version 5.4.1

Clang-14 throws a warning for some bitwise logical operators in “Uncertain.h”. I updated the downloader function to change these instances.

Changes in version 5.4

Updated the package to CGAL v5.4. Caught a bug when replacing CGAL error outputs where it didn’t properly include Rcpp. Moved all Rcpp includes to the tops of files to prevent this in the future.

Changes in version 5.3.1.1 (#issue-1092895079)

Updated the package to edit out references to std::cerr and std::cout when copying header files. Should prevent error for CRAN checks when attempting to use this package for other R packages on CRAN.

Changes in version 5.3.1

First release! Header files for CGAL for use in R. Supports CGAL v5.3.1.
