[R-SIG-Finance] Download RBloomberg for R-2.14.0

[John Laing]

This is likely due to an old version of the API. You can upgrade in
Bloomberg using WAPI<GO>. That should work, but if it doesn't please
let me know where the blpapi3.jar file is located and I can update the
package to look in the right place.
