+With this update, only `sparsevb` failed to install due to the C++14 requirement. 
+This is due to the `RcppEnsmallen` package now requiring C++14. I have 
+contacted the maintainer of `sparsevb` to update their package to work with
+C++14 and provided a patch to do so. However, I have not received a response
+yet.

+Per discussions with Kurt, it is fine to temporarily break `sparsevb` in order
+to allow `mlpack` to be updated to the latest version.
