Using Rcout with Rcpp / RcppArmadillo to coordinate output with R
The new RcppArmadillo release 0.2.35 now supports the Rcpp::Rcout output stream device. Based on a contributed Rcpp patch by Jelper Ypma, the Rcpp::Rcout output stream gets redirected to R’s buffered output. In other words, R’s own output and that eminating from C++ code using Rcpp::Rcout are now both in sync. This avoids a stern warning f...

Initial release 0.1.0 of package RcppSMC
Hm, I realized that I announced this on Google+ (via Rcpp) as well as on Twitter, on the r-packages list, wrote a new and simple web page for it, but had not put it on my blog.

RcppArmadillo 0.2.37 and 0.2.38 released, but not on CRAN
Conrad is readying his fabulous Armadillo C++ template library for linear algebra for a new 3.0.0 release, and started to make pre-releases.

RcppDE 0.1.1
The RcppDE package required a bug-fix release. One of the tests compared results to those from the DEoptim package this is based upon, and these are no longer equal, leading the tests to fail. While I was at it, I finally committed a few more things that had piled up. Below are the corresponding ChangeLog entries 2012-04-08 Dirk Eddelbuettel ...

RDieHarder is an R package providing access to the DieHarder battery of tests for random number generators developed by Robert G. Brown and others.
