RcppEigen 0.3.2.7.0

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 RcppEigen version 0.3.2.7.0 (2016-01-18)

  • Updated to version 3.2.7 of Eigen

  • The fastLm example will not include the Lapack header if MKL is defined (thanks to PR #25 by Alexey Stukalow)

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for the most recent release.

RcppCCTZ 0.0.3

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 data base which standard Unix, Linux, OS X, ... computers tend to have in /usr/share/zoneinfo. RcppCCTZ connects this library to R by relying on Rcpp.

Changes in this version are summarized here:

Changes in version 0.0.3 (2016-01-17)

  • Synchronized with CCTZ upstream.

We also have a diff to the previous version thanks to CRANberries.
