on.exit() instead of finally() to reset working directory
remove or replace with in documentation
rsocsim 1.9.14 (May 2026)
significant performance improvements in retrieve_kin()
rsocsim 1.9.9 (May 2026)
package metadata and documentation cleanup for CRAN submission
refreshed release references in the README
rsocsim 1.9.7 (May 2026)
new: parallelization!
one can provide a list of seeds or a list of sup-filenames and all
those simulations will be executed in parallel
read_opop and read_omar will read several result files into one
dataframe, if the user supplies a list of seeds or a list of filenames
instead of only one seed. These functions increment ids so that ids will
not collide.
printing to the console:
removed lots of unneccessary print statements
replaced lots of sprintf statements in the C/C++ code with safer
wrapper functions
most simulation log-file statements are now “debug-level” and will
not pollute the log-file
Making the package CRAN-ready by removing lots of warnings
fixed some issues/inconsistencies in retrieve_kin and
estimate_rates
added more test simulations
Bugfix:restore input/output folder naming behavior from version
1.5.9
rsocsim 1.9 (March/April 2026)
improved marriage queue:
array based index
1.9.2: for performance, one can now sample n males instead of all
males from the marriage queue
default marriage_sample_size = 1000 *change in sup-file with the
keyword “marriage_sample_size 2000”
rsocsim 1.8.5 (March 2026)
added a working minimum age check for husbands, defaults to 15
years. Didn’t always work before
rsocsim 1.8 (Jan 2026)
added end2end tests as a preparation for some improvements to the C
code
rsocsim 1.7.4 (Dec 5 2025)
added parameter presim_duration_months to download_rates
rsocsim 1.7.0
added function create_initial_simulation
the code is based on
https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim_workshop_paa?tab=readme-ov-file#23-create-initial-population-and-marriage-files
merged bugfixes that caused crashes in socsim since December
2024
rsocsim 1.6.0
added function download_rates, which downloads UN rates and saves
them into rsocsim format
See https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim/issues/28
rsocsim 1.5.9
removed keyword register in load.cpp (See
https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim/issues/11; it causes errors on
Mac)

bugfixes
rsocsim 1.5.6
read_opop and read_omar
works on linux and windows, also with future and clustercall. Mac
not tested, linux sometimes flaky
rsocsim 1.5.5
compiles and runs on Linux again
reorganized contributed code from Liliana and Mallika
todo: tests for contributed code. how to use these functions?
todo: install and run on Mac
rsocsim 1.5.4
Max age 200 years
new command for sup files: marriage_after_childbirth 1
allows simulations without marriage rates
mothers will marry immediately before childbirth if not married
already
