A Armadillo release 3.900.0 was
provided by Conrad yesterday. It has been rolled into a new
RcppArmadillo
release 0.3.900.0 which is now on CRAN and in
Debian.
It has a number of nice changes, mostly on the performance side of things
(see below) and a minor cleanup/improvement in our Kalman filter example
(which, as I just realized, I forgot to note in the \code{NEWS.Rd} in the
released tarball):
