- Bump configure.ac version.
- Remove amalgamation to reduce the build time for a single object with the added benefit that we can use parallel build during development.
- Fix c function prototype warning.
- Remove Windows automake file generation step to make the build script easier to understand.
* Prepare for improving Windows networking compatibility.
* Include dmlc filesystem indirectly as dmlc/filesystem.h includes windows.h, which
conflicts with winsock2.h
* Define `NOMINMAX` conditionally.
* Link the winsock library when mysys32 is used.
* Add config file for read the doc.
This is the one last PR for removing omp global variable.
* Add context object to the `DMatrix`. This bridges `DMatrix` with https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/7308 .
* Require context to be available at the construction time of booster.
* Add `n_threads` support for R csc DMatrix constructor.
* Remove `omp_get_max_threads` in R glue code.
* Remove threading utilities that rely on omp global variable.
* [R] Fix global feature importance.
* Add implementation for tree index. The parameter is not documented in C API since we
should work on porting the model slicing to R instead of supporting more use of tree
index.
* Fix the difference between "gain" and "total_gain".
* debug.
* Fix prediction.
* Add feature score support for linear model.
* Port R interface to the new implementation.
* Add linear model support in Python.

currently installing the R-pacakge will leave the repo in dirty state, since
`CmakeLists.txt` is already checked in. This fixes the `cleanup`
script to not delete this file.
The [general documentation](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parameter.html#parameters-for-tree-booster) clearly has alpha and lambda under its "Parameters for Tree Booster" heading. Furthermore, the R package clearly uses alpha and lambda when told to use the tree booster. This update adds those two parameters to the documentation for the R package.
Closed issue #6763.
