| 
|   2013-12-03  Version 3.929.beta1   (test release)
| 
|   added size() based specifications of submatrix view sizes
|   added element-wise variants of min() and max()
|   added divide-and-conquer variant of svd_econ(), for faster SVD
|   added divide-and-conquer variant of pinv(), for faster pseudo-inverse
|   added randi() for generating matrices with random integer values
|   added more intuitive specification of sort direction in sort() and sort_index()
|   added more intuitive specification of method in det(), .i(), inv() and solve()
|

| 
|   library(devtools)
|   install_github("RcppCore/RcppArmadillo", ref="arma_3.930.beta")
| 
| should install it.  Conrad and I would welcome additional testing prior to

There is now a second beta, with a few fixes including one for a complex
vector instantiation uncovered by Baptiste.

I'll probably add a new unit contributed by Baptiste later today as well.
