rstantools 2.0.0

• Added Martin Lysy as a coauthor.

• New function rstan_create_package() (based on usethis::create_package()) replaces rstan_package_skeleton() for the purpose of starting a new package with Stan functionality.

• Stan functionality can be added to an existing package by calling use_rstan() instead of starting a new package from scratch.

• Stan folder infrastructure now puts all .stan files in inst/stan and all auto-generated C++ files directly in src. This last step ensures that custom Rcpp source code can coexist with the Stan C++ code.

• Each time a .stan file gets added/removed/modified requires a call to rstan_config() in order to generate the Stan C++ code and Rcpp::loadModule() calls. However, setting auto_config = TRUE (the default) in rstan_create_package() ensures rstan_config() is called whenever the package is installed (including via devtools::load_all()), so no need to call it manually unless the user wishes to inspect the Stan C++ code for issues.

• roxygen2 documentation is now optional, but remains the default.

• Rather than generating Stan “system files” via cat commands, rstantools now stores these as template files in inst/include/sys, so the build process can be easily modified as improvements become apparent.

rstantools 1.5.1

• Update rstan_package_skeleton() for latest build process (#19)

• rstan_package_skeleton() now does a bit more work for the user to make sure the the NAMESPACE file is correct.

• Simplify instructions in Read-and-delete-me (related to #19).
