Another release (1.1.90) by Conrad Sanderson for his wonderful
Armadillo templated C++ library for
linear algebra appeared yesterday. Consequently, a new
release 0.2.17 of
RcppArmadillo,
our Rcpp-based
integration into R is now on CRAN mirrors.
The short NEWS file extract follows below containing just Conrad's entry for 1.1.90. No further changes from our side.
0.2.17 2011-03-22
o Upgraded to Armadillo Version 1.1.90 "Inside Job"
* Added .min() & .max(), which can provide the extremum's location
* More robust mean(), var(), stddev()
And courtesy of
CRANberries, here are
the
diffs to the previous release.
