Is R 4.0 necessary? #56

From the dependencies, it looks like we only need |
The reason for R 4.0 is the updated C++ compiler under Windows. I am quite busy at the moment, but will evaluate how much work it is to Backport |
I see, looks like it is a Windows-only issue. I'm curious if it is possible to require different versions of R on different platforms as it seems to work properly on Linux and macOS without such problem. |
Yes this is a windows only issue. I think the only way (other than backporting) would be to conditionally disable parts of the code during compile time depending on compiler features. (Disable webserver functionality for windows with R < 4.0) |
I think this makes good sense. |
I just experimented with backporting It turned out that windows R < 4.0 uses GCC 4.9 and actually only supports C++11 without having users manually edit a file in their home directory. So I backported to C++11 which was easier then expected, but compiling I have now set the minimum R version to >= 3.2 in the |

I wonder which part of the package requires
R 4.0
? It would be nice if we could also support R 3.6 perhaps?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
