RcppGSL 0.2.3

A new version of RcppGSL is now on CRAN today. This package provides an interface from R to the GNU GSL using our Rcpp.

Similar to the recent RcppClassic release, this update was triggered by the CRAN maintainers desire to keep the Makefile free of GNU make extensions. At the same time we simplified the configure file a little, and refreshed the look and feel of the vignette.

No user-facing changes were made.

The NEWS file entries follows below:

Changes in version 0.2.3 (2015-01-10)

• The src/Makevars.in was pruned of GNU make features at the request of the CRAN Maintainers

• configure.ac and configure were updated, and shortened

• The RcppGSL-intro.Rnw vignette was updated for its look and feel.

Courtesy of CRANberries, a summary of changes to the most recent release is available.

More information is on the RcppGSL page. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the R-Forge page.
