RcppArmadillo 0.7.800.2.0

A new RcppArmadillo version 0.7.800.2.0 is now on CRAN.

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. RcppArmadillo integrates this library with the R environment and language–and is widely used by (currently) 318 other packages on CRAN — an increase of 20 just since the last CRAN release of 0.7.600.1.0 in December!

Changes in this release relative to the previous CRAN release are as follows:

Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.7.800.2.0 (2017-04-12)

  • The Armadillo license changed to Apache License 2.0

• The DESCRIPTION file now mentions the Apache License 2.0, as well as the former MPL2 license used for earlier releases.

• Symbol registration is enabled in useDynLib

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is a diffstat report. More detailed information is on the RcppArmadillo page. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the R-Forge page.
