cpp11bigwig 0.2.0 (2026-06-18)

• read_bigwig() gains as = "Rle", returning a per-base run-length-encoded vector spanning the queried range (an Rle for a single chromosome, or a named RleList for several). Uncovered bases are set to the fill value (default 0; use NA to mark them missing) (#18).

• Fix remote access to large bigWig/bigBed files. The HTTP Range header was not being set, so servers returned the entire file, crashing R or failing to open files larger than the read buffer (#18).

cpp11bigwig 0.1.3 (2025-12-11)

• bigBed columns are now automatically coerced based on autoSql types (#12)

cpp11bigwig 0.1.2 (2025-08-18)

• Fix parsing of bigBed end coordinates.

cpp11bigwig 0.1.1 (2025-01-19)

• Sync with libBigWig v0.4.8

cpp11bigwig 0.1.0 (2025-01-07)

• Initial CRAN submission.

cpp11bigwig 0.0.0.9000

• libBigWig is mostly untouched excpect for removal of fprintf statements (which R won't allow in linked libraries) and fixups for ASAN errors, mostly GNU-specific pointer arithmetic. cpp11bigwig passes both ASAN and valgrind checks (via rhub).
