armadillo4r 15.4.2 (2026-08-23)
- From now I will follow the version number of the shipped armadillo version.
- Using Armadillo 15.4.2.
- I am now using
litedown and tinyroxygen for the documentation.
armadillo4r 1.0.0 (2026-06-12)
- Fully documented vignettes covering over 400 examples.
armadillo4r 0.9.0 (2026-05-20)
- Using Armadillo 15.2.6
as_SpMat() now accepts any sparse matrix class from the Matrix package, including RsparseMatrix
and TsparseMatrix subclasses, symmetric (dsCMatrix), and unit-triangular (dtCMatrix) matrices,
which are expanded to general form on conversion to SpMat<double>.as_SpMat() and as_dgCMatrix() now use the Matrix package's public C API (CHOLMOD bridge)
instead of reading S4 slots directly. The bridge is auto-enabled when the Matrix package's
headers are visible at compile time, which happens when the consuming package declares
LinkingTo: Matrix (>= 1.6-2) in its own DESCRIPTION. Packages that do not need the
sparse-Matrix bridge no longer have to depend on Matrix. The auto-detection can be
overridden with -DARMADILLO4R_USE_MATRIX or -DARMADILLO4R_NO_MATRIX.
armadillo4r 0.8.0 (2026-04-08)
- Adds templates to simplify cube/field data copying between R and Armadillo.
- Adds templates to pass lazy
Glue<> and Base<> expressions to as_{{ R_TYPE }}().
armadillo4r 0.7.1
- Minor update to the package template to reflect some changes to cpp4r.
armadillo4r 0.7.0 (2025-12-04)
- Using Armadillo 15.2.1 (Medium Roast Deluxe) thanks to @conradsnicta update notification.
- Improve complex vectors/matrices copying performance by using
memcpy instead of element-wise copying.
- Explicit testing with Clang and GCC compiler using C++ 14, 17, 20, and 23 standards (Armadillo 15.2.1
requires at least C++14)
armadillo4r 0.6.0 (2025-11-03)
- cpp11armadillo was renamed to armadillo4r to reflect its purpose better
- supports copying complex numbers between R and C++
