RcppEigen 0.3.3.3.0

A new RcppEigen release 0.3.3.3.0 was put into CRAN (and Debian) a few days ago. It brings Eigen 3.3.* to R.

Once again, Yixuan Qiu did most of the heavy lifting over a multi-month period as some adjustments needed to be made in the package itself, along with coordination downstream.

The complete NEWS file entry follows.

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.3.3.0 (2017-04-29)

• Updated to version 3.3.3 of Eigen

• Fixed incorrect function names in the examples, thanks to Ching-Chuan Chen

• The class MappedSparseMatrix<T> has been deprecated since Eigen 3.3.0. The new structure Map<SparseMatrix<T> > should be used instead

• Exporters for the new type Map<SparseMatrix<T> > were added

• Travis CI is now driven via run.sh from our forked r-travis

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release.
