• Re-added functions to assign based on column and row names.

• Memory leak problem solved.

• Fixed a bug with handling raw bytes. Now it is possible to use big.matrix to store arbitrary R object (using serialization). If you want to make sure that bigmemory big.matrix handles raw data, add "bigmemory (>=4.5.21)" to the Depends stanza in the Description.

• Enabled use of Rcpp package to simply code and create smaller barrier to adding additional extensions.
• Added new method to big.matrix objects, allocation_size, to easily check the size of the object in memory.
• Float type matrices have now been added to enable single precision analytics.

• We missed a NEWS entry. Windows support is temporarily suspended due to issues with the Boost headers.
• We now depend on bigmemory.sri (a trivial dependency relating to our big.matrix descriptors) and new package BH (for Boost headers).

• Modified deepcopy() with C code (thanks to Zarrar for this)
• Added -fpermissive to possibly address a compilation issue in Linux
• Added -lm to address a linking problem with math.h
• Fixed a problem with reading all 0's in a column in read.big.matrix()
• We note that there may be an inconsistency with read.big.matrix() and write.big.matrix() that needs to be addressed.

• Modified configure to handle a Solaris problem.
• Added definition of C99FEATURES to isna.hpp; hopefully won't break anything.

• Set proper default value op='AND' for mwhich()

• The configuration process has been streamlined to avoid warnings and allow for support of Sun Studio compiler on Linux.

• bigmemory >= 2.2.0 is accompanied by sister packages biganalytics and bigtabulate; mutexes (locking) are abstracted to package synchronicity, available now on R-Forge and soon to be uploaded to CRAN. Package bigalgebra is on R-Forge as a beta version while we sort through the range of library configuration options.
