[Rcpp-devel] [ANN] RcppArmadillo 0.2.35 with Armadillo 2.4.3

Dirk Eddelbuettel 
Now that Rcpp 0.9.10 is out, we were able to follow up with RcppArmadillo
0.2.25 which depends on it.  

With this version, Armadillo no longers uses std::cout by default but rather
the clever Rcpp::Rcout which Jelmer Ypma had contributed.  So now I/O from
C++ (eg Armadillo) and R are all well coordinated.  And R CMD check no longer
complaints.  All good.  

This release also fixes two buglets spotted by Teo Guo Ci and Gershon Bialer
which affected more esoteric builds (with C++0x support, or with old g++) and
Martin Renner kindly ran some tests verifying all this. Thanks to all for the
help. 

The NEWS entry is below.  I may add some on the blog.

0.2.35  2012-02-17

    o   Upgraded to Armadillo release 2.4.3

          * Support for ARMA_DEFAULT_OSTREAM using Rcpp::Rcout added

    o   Minor bug fix release improving corner cases affecting builds:

          * Missing semicolon added in Mat_meat (when in C++0x mode), with
	    thanks to Teo Guo Ci 
          * Armadillo version vars now instantiated in RcppArmadillo.cpp
	    which helps older g++ versions, with thanks to Gershon Bialer
          * Thanks also to Martin Renner for testing these changes

          * Unit tests output fallback directory changed per Brian Ripley's
            request to not ever use /tmp

	  * Minor update to version numbers in RcppArmadillo-package.Rd
