RcppEigen 0.3.3.3.1

A maintenance release 0.3.3.3.1 of RcppEigen is now on CRAN (and will get to Debian soon). It brings Eigen 3.3.* to R.

The impetus was a request from CRAN to change the call to Rcpp::Rcpp.plugin.maker() to only use :: as the function has in fact been exported and accessible for a pretty long time. So now the usage pattern catches up. Otherwise, Haiku-OS is now supported and a minor Travis tweak was made.

The complete NEWS file entry follows.

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.3.3.1 (2017-11-19)

• Compilation under Haiku-OS is now supported (Yu Gong in #45).

• The Rcpp.plugin.maker helper function is called via :: as it is in fact exported (yet we had old code using :::).

• A spurious argument was removed from an example call.

• Travis CI now uses https to fetch the test runner script.

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