The main difference in this release compared to the last one
-
Deprecate
setup
, should useconvex_setup
. -
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.
