Version 2.7.11 of OpenMx officially released

OpenMx version 2.7.11 is now available through CRAN and through our virginia.edu repository. Users running R version 3.4 under Mac OS X 10.11 "El Capitan" are advised to follow our website's instructions for installing OpenMx, since the CRAN build of the package still does not work with that combination of R and MacOS versions.

labels for mxAlgebras

It would be helpful to allow access to mxAlgebra cells via labels, rather than only by [] addresses)

Benefits include meaningful references (reducing errors and increasing readability)

This would involve adding a labels slot to algebras, which it would be up to the user ensure matched the r*c size of whatever the algebra returns (as with existing dimnames

mxCompare models with same df

If you mxCompare(m1, m1) a model with itself, you get the warning


In collectStatistics(nextBaseSummary, nextCompareSummary) :
Model 'exampleModel' has more degrees of freedom than exampleModel which means that either the models need to be compared in the oppposite order or the models are not nested and should not be compared with the likelihood ratio test

Neither model has more degrees of freedom than the other. Perhaps just give the comparison without a warning?
