We’ve just released the newest version of NIMBLE on CRAN and on our website. Version 0.6-5 is mostly devoted to bug fixes and packaging fixes for CRAN, but there is some new functionality:

addition of the functions c(), seq(), rep(), :, diag() for use in BUGS code;
addition of two improper distributions (dflat and dhalfflat) as well as the inverse-Wishart distribution;
the ability to estimate the asymptotic covariance of the estimates in NIMBLE’s MCEM algorithm;
the ability to use nimbleLists in any nimbleFunction, newly including nimbleFunctions without setup code;
and a variety of bug fixes and better error trapping.

Please see the NEWS file in the installed package for more details.
