The short NEWS entry follows below. This version fixes some issues related to g++ 4.7; however the current Debian testing version of g++-4.7.1 required that I rolled back three header files to the version from the previous release. Conrad has been in contact with the gcc upstream maintainers and a fix may appear in time for g++-4.7.2.
This release also contains a new introductory pdf vignette based on a paper Conrad and I just submitted. It introduces Armadillo to R programmers and demonstrates with a simple Kalman filtering example how the code can be written in the same concise matrix-oriented style, yet runs orders of magnitude faster.
0.3.2.3 2012-07-01
o Upgraded to Armadillo release 3.2.3
* minor correction for declaration of fixed size vectors and
matrices
o Reverted three header files {Mat,Row,Col}_bones.hpp back to previous
release due to compilation failures under g++-4.7
o Added new vignette 'RcppArmadillo-intro' based on a just-submitted
introductory paper (by Eddelbuettel and Sanderson) about RcppArmadillo
o Change from release 3.2.2 which we skipped as it did not really affect
builds under R:
* minor fix for compiling without debugging enabled (aka release
mode)
* better detection of ATLAS during installation on Fedora and Red
Hat systems
o Small enhancement to fastLm

CRANberries, there
is also a diffstat report
for 0.3.2.3 relative to 0.3.2.0
