- The fourth release on CRAN.
- Updates for
Julia
v0.7 and v1.0. - Drop
XRJulia
support, as it does not work withJulia
v0.7 and v1.0.
- Default
SCS
solver doesn't haveverbose = FALSE
default option any more. - Users can choose
ECOS
as the solver for convex problems. - Users can set a bunch of options for both
SCS
andECOS
solvers.
- The users can set maximal iteration times for the convex problem solver in
cvx_optim
. - Bug correction for handling of
diag
.
- The third release on CRAN.
- Remove deprecated
setup
function. - Use
JuliaCall
as the default backend.
- Fix deprecation warnings from
JuliaCall
backend. - Fix some little bugs.
- Add the option in
convex_setup
to set the path tojulia
binary.
- The second release on CRAN.
- Supports multiple ways to connect to
julia
, one way is through packageXRJulia
, and the other way is to use packageJuliaCall
. The difference is as follows:XRJulia
connects tojulia
, which is the default forconvexjlr
, the advantage is the simplicity of the installation process, once you have a working R and working julia, it should be okay to useconvexjlr
in this way. Note that if you have the latest Julia version (v0.6.0) installed, then you have to use the latest version ofXRJulia
.JuliaCall
embedsjulia
in R, the advantage is the performance, for example, if your convex problem involves large matrice or long vectors, you may wish to useJuliaCall
backend forconvexjlr
; the disadvantage is the installation process, since embeddingjulia
needs compilations.
- Added a
NEWS.md
file to track changes to the package. - Re-organize tests.
- Deprecate
setup
, should useconvex_setup
.
- A patch release on CRAN.
- The first release on CRAN.
