Conrad has a test release 6.000.1 for Armadillo out, which I wrapped up -- and made available via the Rcpp 'drat' repo (see below).
You will note the new major number; there are some API changes. In essence, and from Conrad's page: faster norm() and normalise() when using ATLAS or OpenBLAS added Schur decomposition: schur() stricter handling of matrix objects by hist() and histc() advanced constructors for using auxiliary memory by Mat, Col, Row and Cube now have the default of strict = false Cube class now delays allocation of .slice() related structures until needed expanded join_slices() to handle joining cubes with matrices I ran a full reverse depends check, and only one new issue came up across 150+ tested packages. But Conrad and I looked into this and concluded that is more likely due to change to another dependency of that package. As always see http://arma.sourceforge.net/ https://github.com/RcppCore/RcppArmadillo/ for full details. I also added Rcpp 0.12.1.1 to the drat repo which has some fixes over the most-recent CRAN release 0.12.1. You can install these by using the drat package: drat::addRepo("RcppCore") update.packages() or individually using install.packages("Rcpp", repos="http://RcppCore.github.io/drat/") Comments (here, or via GitHub issue tickets) welcome!
