[R-sig-ME] Release Dates lme4 Version

[Ben Bolker]

  Hmmm. As Brian Ripley pointed out to me offline,

> Not so.  RcppEigen (> 0.3.1.2.3) appears to mean >= 0.3.2.0, which
depends on Rcpp (>= 0.10.5) and R (>= 2.15.1) (also the dependence of
Rcpp 0.10.5).

  I just double-checked this myself and (as usual) he seems to be right.

  Vince, maybe you were looking at RcppEigen 0.3.2.1.1 instead?

  Rolf, where were you looking on CRAN for RcppEigen?

 * http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppEigen/index.html shows
version 0.3.2.1.1
 * The Windows binary available for 2.15 is 0.3.2.0.2:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.15/RcppEigen_0.3.2.0.2.zip

  cheers
