And yet another upstream Armadillo update — version 5.600.2 was released yesterday by Conrad. So I pushed a new and matching RcppArmadillo release 0.5.600.2.0 to CRAN and to Debian.

Armadillo is a powerful and expressive C++ template library for linear algebra aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use with a syntax deliberately close to a Matlab.

This release contains small upstream improvements:

Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.5.600.2.0 (2015-09-19)

  • Upgraded to Armadillo 5.600.2 ("Molotov Cocktail Deluxe")

    • expanded .each_col() and .each_row() to handle out-of-place operations

    • added .each_slice() for repeated matrix operations on each slice of a cube

    • faster handling of compound expressions by join_rows() and join_cols()

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent CRAN release. As always, more detailed information is on the RcppArmadillo page. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the R-Forge page.
