About: Armadillo is a high quality C++ library for linear algebra & scientific computing, aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. The function syntax is deliberately similar to MATLAB. Useful for algorithm development directly in C++, or quick conversion of research code into production environments (eg. software & hardware products).

• faster handling of sparse matrices by kron() and repmat()
• faster transpose of sparse matrices
• faster element access in sparse matrices
• faster row iterators for sparse matrices
• faster handling of compound expressions by trace()
• more efficient handling of aliasing in submatrix views
• expanded normalise() to handle sparse matrices
• expanded .transform() and .for_each() to handle sparse matrices
• added reverse() for reversing order of elements
• added repelem() for replicating elements
• added roots() for finding the roots of a polynomial
