fst v0.8.10
Changes
In version 0.8.10 of the fst
package, the incorporated C++ libraries fstlib
, LZ4
and ZSTD
have been updated to their latest versions and user-reported issues with the in-memory compressor and writing to a network drive have been fixed. Also, per request of CRAN maintainers, the OpenMP build option was moved to the correct flag in the Makevars file, resolving a warning in the package check.

Bugs solved
- Method
compress_fst()
can handle vectors with sizes larger than 4 GB (issue #176, thanks @bwlewis for reporting) - A fst file is correctly read from a subfolder on a network drive where the user does not have access to the top-level folder (issues #136 and #175, thanks @xiaodaigh for reporting).
- The suggested data.table dependency is now properly escaped (issue #181, thanks @jangorecki for the pull request)
