After over a year of silence, Ensmallen Development Team has released a new update! In this release, the team has added a new optimizer, Active CMAES, and fixed a few bugs. We also performed maintenance on the R side by increasing the R version required to R 4.0 to ensure a compiler with C++11 is available. We’ve also removed the explicit C++11 requirement from the DESCRIPTION and Makevars{.win} files.
