RcppArmadillo 0.6.400.2.2

16.12.2015

And yet another updated of Armadillo by Conrad bringing us to 6.400.2. I folded that yesterday into RcppArmadillo 0.6.400.2.2; and this is now on CRAN and Debian. There was even an interim-CRAN-only release 0.6.300.2.2 with a refinement for tests of imcompleye LAPACK libraries—which we encounter whenver R is build with its own (partial) copy of...

RcppTOML 0.0.5

19.12.2015

After a short hiatus, a new version of the (wonderfully useful, if I dare say so 😉 RcppTOML package is now on CRAN. RcppTOML lets R read the (absolutely awesome) TOML configuration file format–which is simply fabulous as it emphasizes strong readability for humans while at the same time supporting strong typing as well as immediate and clear...

BH 1.68.0-1

28.12.2015

A new release of BH is now on CRAN. BH provides a large part of the Boost C++ libraries as a set of template headers for use by R, possibly with Rcpp as well as other packages. This release both upgrades the version of Boost to the recently-released upstream version Boost 1.60.0 and also adds Boost Phoenix. A brief summary of changes from the NEW...

AsioHeaders 1.11.0-1

07.01.2016

Making it easier to use C++ in R has been a really nice and rewarding side effect of the work on Rcpp. One really good idea came from something Jay Emerson, Michael Kane and had I kicked about for way too long: shipping Boost headers for easier use by R and CRAN packages (such as their family of packages around bigmemory). The key idea here is he...

digest 0.6.9

08.01.2016

A new release, now at version number 0.6.9, of the digest package is now on CRAN. I also just prepared the Debian upload. This release is very large part the work of Thierry Onkelinx who added stable sha1 support in a new function sha1(). Here, stable means that numerically equivalent numbers (in the sense of the semi-famous R FAQ entry 7.31) res...

RcppCCTZ 0.0.3

22.01.2016

Bradley White from the upstream CCTZ team prepared some more changes in CCTZ itself — so a new RcppCCTZ version got to CRAN the other day catching up with these changes. CCTZ is a C++ library for translating between absolute and civil times using the rules of a time zone. It requires only a proper C++11 compiler and the standard IANA time zone ...

RcppEigen 0.3.2.7.0

22.01.2016

A new minor release of RcppEigen is now on CRAN and in Debian. It primarily upgrades to the recent 3.2.7 release of Eigen — thanks once again to fine work by Yixuan Qiu. We also have one additonal PR by Alexey Stukalow who ensured that the fastLm() example will work fine with when the Intel MKL is used. The NEWS file entry follows. Changes in ...
