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.

Library updates

  • Library fstlib updated to version 0.1.0
  • Library ZSTD updated to version 1.3.7
  • Library LZ4 updated to version 1.8.3

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)
