Conrad releaser version 3.2.3 of Armadillo a few days ago,
and the corresponding RcppArmadillo
package 0.3.2.3 is now CRAN. (For
these keeping score 3.2.1 never was a full release, and 3.2.2 containing
fixes for a build issue that did not affect the R package build so we skipped it.)
The short NEWS entry follows below. This version fixes some issues related to
g++ 4.7; however the current Debian testing version of g++-4.7.1 required
that I rolled back three header files to the version from the previous
release. Conrad has been in contact with the gcc upstream maintainers and a
fix may appear in time for g++-4.7.2.
This release also contains a new introductory pdf vignette based on
a paper Conrad and I just submitted. It introduces Armadillo to R
programmers and demonstrates with a simple Kalman filtering example how the
code can be written in the same concise matrix-oriented style, yet runs
orders of magnitude faster.
0.3.2.3 2012-07-01 o Upgraded to Armadillo release 3.2.3 * minor correction for declaration of fixed size vectors and matrices o Reverted three header files {Mat,Row,Col}_bones.hpp back to previous release due to compilation failures under g++-4.7 o Added new vignette 'RcppArmadillo-intro' based on a just-submitted introductory paper (by Eddelbuettel and Sanderson) about RcppArmadillo o Change from release 3.2.2 which we skipped as it did not really affect builds under R: * minor fix for compiling without debugging enabled (aka release mode) * better detection of ATLAS during installation on Fedora and Red Hat systems o Small enhancement to fastLm
