sasr

github.com/insightsengineering/sasr ↗

An R package that runs SAS code in a SAS session and hands the results back.

sas-interopclinical-researchpharmadata-transferr-package
◆Current state
sasr is a bridge from insightsengineering: it opens SAS sessions from R, executes SAS code in them, pulls back logs and results, and moves datasets in both directions. All three visible tags carry byte-identical release notes reading "First CRAN version", so the changelog records the package's scope rather than any per-release delta. There is no visible activity after the May 2023 CRAN landing.
◆Where it's heading
The three tags land in nineteen days and say the same thing, which means the arc here is a single push to get an initial version onto CRAN rather than a development sequence. What the notes do establish is a deliberate scope: session lifecycle, code execution, log retrieval and dataset transfer, and nothing beyond that. The package positions itself as plumbing between two runtimes rather than as an attempt to reimplement SAS procedures in R.
◆Prediction
With identical notes across every tag and no entries since May 2023, the changelog gives no basis for predicting a next move. Any future release would most plausibly track the SAS session interface it wraps.

    Re-tag carrying the unchanged v0.1.0 notes

    The third tag in nineteen days carrying the same "First CRAN version" notes as the two before it. The release notes were never revised, so this records no delta of its own.

    Re-tag carrying the unchanged v0.1.0 notes

    A second tag with the v0.1.0 release notes copied verbatim. Whatever changed between 0.1.0 and 0.1.1 is not described in the changelog.

    v0.1.0 release

    ⚡ SPARK

    The originating release, and the one the two later tags reprint: R gains the ability to create SAS sessions, execute SAS code in them, retrieve logs and results, and transfer datasets across the boundary. This is the release that defines the package's entire scope.
