RcppArmadillo 0.5.200.1.0

Conrad put out a new minor release 5.200.1 of Armadillo yesterday. Armadillo is a powerful and expressive C++ template library for linear algebra aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use with a syntax deliberately close to a Matlab.

Our corresponding RcppArmadillo release 0.5.200.1.0 is now on CRAN and on its way into Debian. See below for the brief list of changes.

Changes in RcppArmadillo version 0.5.200.1.0 (2015-06-04)

  • Upgraded to Armadillo release 5.200.1 ("Boston Tea Smuggler")

    • added orth() for finding the orthonormal basis of the range space of a matrix

    • expanded element initialisation to handle nested initialiser lists (C++11)

    • workarounds for bugs in GCC, Intel and MSVC C++ compilers

  • Added another example to inst/examples/fastLm.r

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent CRAN release. As always, more detailed information is on the RcppArmadillo page. Questions, comments etc should go to the rcpp-devel mailing list off the R-Forge page.
