Release Dates lme4 Version
I wrote that in a rush so I'm likely mistaken, but when I tried to test backwards compatibility using 2.15.3 the packages weren't available. Specifically the lme4 version for macs on CRAN was < 1.0. It looks as if OS X users don't have the same depth of backwards compatibility out of the box, although I suppose that could depend on the mirror. Anyhow, moral may or may not be: just upgrade everything.

Hmmm. As Brian Ripley pointed out to me offline,
Not so. RcppEigen (> 0.3.1.2.3) appears to mean >= 0.3.2.0, which
depends on Rcpp (>= 0.10.5) and R (>= 2.15.1) (also the dependence of Rcpp 0.10.5). I just double-checked this myself and (as usual) he seems to be right. Vince, maybe you were looking at RcppEigen 0.3.2.1.1 instead? Rolf, where were you looking on CRAN for RcppEigen? * http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppEigen/index.html shows version 0.3.2.1.1 * The Windows binary available for 2.15 is 0.3.2.0.2: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.15/RcppEigen_0.3.2.0.2.zip cheers Ben Bolker On 14-03-14 07:27 PM, Vincent Dorie wrote:
As far as I can tell, there is a bit of understating when it comes to version numbers for R itself. RcppEigen 0.3.1.2.1 depends on Rcp 0.11.0, which in turn depends on R 3.0.0. So even though just about every package in the lme4 chain claims to work on 2.15 or so, the backwards compatibility has been broken. On Mar 14, 2014, at 7:16 PM, Rolf Turner wrote:

Great! Looking forward to the new version on CRAN. Best, Wolfgang
New version (1.1-5) is on CRAN now; binaries gradually being built/ propagating to mirrors. See https://github.com/lme4/lme4/blob/master/inst/NEWS.Rd for changes in this release ...
Just tried to install version 1.1-5 (tar ball obtained from Austrian mirror). It complains that "?RcppEigen? 0.3.1.2.1 is being loaded, but 0.3.1.2.3 is required". But the latest version of RcppEigen that I can find on CRAN is good ol' 0.3.1.2.1. So do I have to go somewhere else to get 0.3.1.2.3? That's a bit bewildering for us bunnies. cheers, Rolf Turner
