RcppArmadillo 0.5.100.1.0

A new minor release 5.100.1 of Armadillo was released by Conrad yesterday. 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.

Our corresponding RcppArmadillo release 0.5.100.1.0 also reached CRAN and Debian yesterday. See below for the brief list of changes.

Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.5.100.1.0 (2015-05-01)

• Upgraded to Armadillo release 5.100.1 ("Ankle Biter Deluxe")

  • added interp1() for 1D interpolation

  • added .is_sorted() for checking whether a vector or matrix has sorted elements

  • updated physical constants to NIST 2010 CODATA values

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.
