• Update to version 3.2.0 of Eigen

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.1.2.3 (2013-10-25)

• Fix to RcppEigenCholmod.h to incorporate changes in the cholmod_factor struct. These changes are necessary if code compiled against RcppEigen that uses CHOLMOD factors is to be run with versions of the Matrix package >= 1.1-0

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.1.2 (2012-11-29)

• Upgraded to Eigen 3.1.2

• Fixes to RcppEigenWrap.h and adjustment of tests accordingly. The changes allow RowMajor matrices to be wrapped (thanks to Gael Guennebaud) but cannot handle RowVector types. There will need to be more template metaprogramming done to redirect the case of RowVector, which cannot be changed to a ColMajor form.

• Because of changes in R, -DNDEBUG is automatic. One must override it with -UNDEBUG in the local ~/.R/Makevars to activate the debugging code.

• New (unexported) functions CxxFlags() and RcppEigenCxxFlags() for use in Makefiles

• Fixes related to Rcpp 0.10.*

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.3.1 (2012-08-07)

• Upgraded to Eigen 3.1.0

• Removed the "unsupported" Eigen module AutoDiff which defined a macro "sign" that conflicted with a function in the R API (which really should be visible as "Rf_sign", not sure why it shows up as "sign" and don't have time to investigate)

• Commented out several tests involving complex vectors and matrices. Again there are compilation problems related to conflicting definitions in the std:: namespace and the R API and Eigen, which I don't have time to investigate.

Changes in RcppEigen version 0.2.0 (2012-03-12)

• Upgraded the version of Eigen to 3.1.0-alpha2, in which the sparse matrix modules are now in the "supported" tree.

• Added several "unsupported" Eigen modules including

  • AutoDiff (a small automatic differentiation package adapted to vectors and matrices)

  • IterativeSolvers (iterative linear and nonlinear solver algorithms)

  • KroneckerProduct (as the name implies)

  • MatrixFunctions (matrix cos, exp, log, sin, sinh, etc.)

  • NonlinearOptimization (based on minpack but uses reverse communication - yay!)

  • NumericalDiff (numerical differentiation of vector-valued or matrix-valued functions)

  • Polynomials (polynomial representation and solution using a QR algorithm)

  • Skyline (sparse skyline matrices useful in finite-element codes)

  • SparseExtra (dynamic sparse matrices, now deprecated, and Matrix Market I/O functions)

  • Splines (multidimensional spline representations and spline interpolation)

• At present all these modules, including the MatrixFunctions module, are included with RcppEigen.h but that may change if too many people get unexpected results from A.exp()

• The ability to wrap RowMajor sparse matrices and to use as<Eigen::ArrayXd> etc.

• Migrated some tests to the testthat package. Currently there is some difficulty with combining testthat, inline and R CMD check.
