Earlier today, Conrad Sanderson released another bug-fix version 3.0.2 for
the still fairly recent 3.0.0 version of his excellent
Armadillo C++ template library for
linear algebra. The new
RcppArmadillo
release 0.3.0.2 also appeared on CRAN
this morning.

Beside Conrad’s bugfix in
Armadillo itself, he also
convinced us to unroll a change imposed by
R: NDEBUG is now
being defined unconditionally when compiling R packages. In Armadillo’s case,
this suppresses a number of useful things including bounds-checking. So we
now undefine this symbol in the initial RcppArmadillo headers. Users can
still set it manually, and/or define ARMA_NO_DEBUG.
The short NEWS entry follows below.
0.3.0.2 2012-04-19
o Upgraded to Armadillo release 3.0.2
* fixes for handling diagonal matrices
o Undefine NDEBUG if it has been set (as R does) as this prevents a
number of useful debugging checks. Users can still define it or
define ARMA_NO_DEBUG if they want a 'non-development' build
Courtesy of
CRANberries, there
is also a diffstat report
for 0.3.0.2 relative to 0.3.0.1
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.
