redatam 2.4.0

• The output is a list of tables of data.table class.
• Replaces stringr/stringi with base R functions.
• Handles special characters better.
• Updated vignette.

redatam 2.3.2

• Using official 'pugixml' fix for GCC 16.

redatam 2.3.1 (2026-05-27)

• A new GCC 16 warning showed up, so I edited 'pugixml' a bit and sent an upstream pull request.
• The vendored 'pugixml' has these changes:
  • Changes in pugixml.cpp:1135 (non-COMPACT #else branch)
  • xml_attribute_struct: header(PUGI_IMPL_GETHEADER_IMPL(this, page, 0)) moved from body to initializer list
  • xml_node_struct: header(PUGI_IMPL_GETHEADER_IMPL(this, page, type)) moved from body to initializer list
  • header is now formally initialized before any use, eliminating GCC 16's false positive
  • The macro only does pointer arithmetic on this and page — no member dereferencing — so using this in the initializer list is safe. You can verify with:

redatam 2.3.0 (2026-05-17)

• New 'pugixml' version that fixes a CRAN R-Devel warning.

redatam 2.2.0 (2026-02-21)

• Uses 'cpp4r' instead of 'cpp11' for the R-C++ bindings.

redatam 2.1.2 (2025-04-17)

• Fixes a bug with .DIC/.DICX files that are not accepted when these are not in lower case (e.g., file.dic or file.dicx).

redatam 2.1.0

• Streamlined the C++ code. Minimal performance improvements, but it is now easier to read.

redatam 2.0.4 (2024-11-15)

• Refactored C++ to R list casting to avoid growing a list in a loop. It now creates a list with a lenght equal to the number of entities and variables with descriptions and then fills it with the data. This is 3 to 5 times faster.
• Fixes GCC-SAN errors with a fix proposed by Ivan Krylov. Thanks!
