expectile 0.3.0 (2012-06-22)

Software Quality

• Now using .onAttach() instead of .First.lib().

• Now sfit2() passes NA instead of NULL to .C("Rwrapper_sfit0").

Bug Fixes

• The previous workaround for using prior +Inf weights and pass them to the native code as .Machine$double.xmax did no longer work; it resulted in missing values in the results. Passing Inf as sqrt(.Machine$double.xmax) seems to work.
