The following issues are mentioned in the third beta's announcement:
- The Windows binaries of this third beta were compiled without enabling multiple threads (i.e., parallel processing with multiple cores).
- CSOLNP can still crash or freeze up R, or terminate calculation prematurely, when calculating confidence intervals. This behavior appears to be Windows-specific, and almost entirely confined to 64-bit R.
- Users should get into the habit of ALWAYS using the
$
accessor instead of the@
accessor. For example,myModelRun@output$estimate
would now bemyModelRun$output$estimate
. We CANNOT guarantee that every usage of the@
accessor that worked with versions 1.3/1.4 will continue to work in 2.0.
In addition, users have reported the following:
- CSOLNP is still producing confidence intervals that have a confidence limit equal to the point estimate more frequently than it should.
