Hi,
armadillo 9.100.5 was released this week. The previous stable release was
8.600.5. So we a major version bump from 8 to 9.
According to both the release notes and an email exchange with the upstream
maintainer "There are no API breakages, but there are subtle behavioural
differences, mainly with the solve() and inv_sympd() functions."
In essence any well-behaved program should work with no changes.
I intend to update the package in rawhide and branched F29.
# dnf --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=rawhide repoquery --whatrequires armadillo
reveals that the only packages that require armadillo are:
* gdal
* mlpack
* mmseq
FWIW this is the same for all the supported fedora versions.
I will take care of the rebuilds.
I will also contact the owners (point of contact) of those packages to update
armadillo in F28, F27 and epel.
Regards,
