We are glad to announce recent CRAN releases of matrixStats with support for handling and returning name attributes. This feature is added to make matrixStats functions handle names in the same manner as the corresponding base R functions. In particular, the behavior of matrixStats functions is now the same as the apply() function in R, resolving previous lack of, or inconsistent, handling of row and column names.
