NEW FEATURES

• Function .CallOctave gains a new argument verbose to specify a temporary verbose level #### FIXES
• Fixed installation issue on Windows that were introduced with new installation features in 0.14.
• Fixed bug in output redirection when linking against old octave 3.2: method str() was not defined

CHANGES

• added a configure option –with-octave to specify the path to a non-standard Octave installation. For example: R CMD INSTALL –configure-args=“–with-octave=/opt/octave” RcppOctave_0.14.tar.gz
• Handling of Octave outputs and error messages have been improved.

FIXES

• Some changes have been made so that the package is compatible with Octave 3.8 (reported by Bernard)
• Installation was failing when Octave was compiled with hdf5-mpi support.

NEW FEATURES

• The package have successfully been installed on Windows machines, although only basic functionalities have been tested (see README file).
• Support for Mac have also started, although even more slightly, using the Octave version available from homebrew.

CHANGES

• Moved all developments/bug reports/static docs to GitHub repository: https://github.com/renozao/RcppOctave/
• Octave functions' stdout and stderr messages are now buffered by default, so that it does not bypass R own i/o functions. All messages/warnings sent to stdout/stderr from Octave are displayed on exiting the function call.
• function .CallOctave gains a new argument buffer.std to enable/disable stdout and/or stderr buffering (see ?.CallOctave).
• Octave startup warnings (e.g. shadowing of core functions by Octave modules) are not shown anymore.
• Minor adaptations to pass new CRAN checks
• The package now depends on R >= 3.0.0 to properly handle the knitr vignettes.
• Errors are now more properly handled, thanks to hints found in this old post by Romain François: http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/2010-May/000651.html

CHANGES

• Conditional use of function packageName: use the one from pkgmaker in R <= 2.15.3, or the one exported by utils in R >= 3.0.
