Changes in version 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.

                 Changes in version 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 }}().

                        Changes in version 0.7.1                        

  - Minor update to the package template to reflect some changes to
    cpp4r.

                 Changes in version 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)

                 Changes in version 0.6.0 (2025-11-03)                  

  - cpp11armadillo was renamed to armadillo4r to reflect its purpose
    better
  - supports copying complex numbers between R and C++
