[Rcpp-devel] [ANN] RcppArmadillo 0.9.910.0

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

The post below was just posted on my blog [1] to spread the word that
RcppArmadillo 0.3.910.0 is now on CRAN.

Conrad added a few things; one of those bit Whit in rcppbugs but we are not
aware of any other breakage.

    RcppArmadillo 0.3.910.0                                                

    A new minor release 3.910.0 of Armadillo came out a few days ago. A    
    new RcppArmadillo release 0.3.910.0 was provided rightaway, and after  
    a brief back-and-forth with CRAN (mostly having to do with the         
    non-standard vignette corresponding to our CSDA paper and its use of   
    LaTeX minted) is now on CRAN and also in Debian.                       
                                                                           
    Conrad made some standard cross-products faster, and added             
    vectorise(), any() and all() functions. We also added an extension     
    header for more automated conversion of sparse matrices (which is      
    already used by a post on the Rcpp Gallery).                           
                                                                           
    The complete list of changes is below.                                 
                                                                           
        Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.3.910.0 (2013-08-12)            
                                                                           
        * Upgraded to Armadillo release Version 3.910.0 (Pyrenees)         
                                                                           
             * faster multiplication of a matrix with a transpose of       
               itself, ie. X*X.t() and X.t()*X                             
                                                                           
             * added vectorise() for reshaping matrices into vectors       
                                                                           
             * added all() and any() for indicating presence of elements   
               satisfying a relational condition                           
                                                                           
        * Added conversion support for sparse matrices (of type double)    
          created by the Matrix package as class dgCMatrix                 
                                                                           
        * Moved vignette sources from inst/doc to vignettes; set           
          BuildVignettes: FALSE as the minted mode for LaTeX upsets the    
          CRAN builders.                                                   
                                                                           
    Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most  
    recent 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.
