Minor patch to BEAST X (July, 2025 in Nature Methods)

  • This submission packages the latest release of the popular phylogenetics software BEAST X to make it available to R users

  • Fixed 2 NOTEs:

    • added 'Baele' to custom spell-check dictionary
    • reduced multi-core CPU usage in examples to single core

  • Remains occasional NOTE: installed size is 7.8Mb

    • We are aware the package size exceeds the maximum. We have tried our best to reduce the size, for example by dropping code normally used for a graphical user interface. However, we cannot reduce the size further without removing functionality that is required by some of our users.

    • BEAST is updated at most annually, so we expected very rare updates.

    • This package is a data-only package, similar to 'XlsxJars' and 'DatabaseConnectorJars'. Other R packages will be released shortly to CRAN that depend on 'BeastJar' whose function is solely to be a repository of shared (Java) code to be used by those other packages.

Test environments

  • local OS X install, R 4.5.1
  • win-builder (devel and release)
  • rhub, solaris-x86-patched

R CMD check results

  • There were no ERRORs or WARNINGs
  • There is 1 occasional NOTE: checking installed package size ... NOTE installed size is 7.8Mb sub-directories of 1Mb or more: java 7.7Mb

Downstream dependencies

  • 'EvidenceSynthesis'
