This file provided a brief list of major feature enhancements
associated with each release. For a detailed list of changes see the
ChangeLog file.

Version 1.11.0
--------------

- Bump version number to 1.11.0 to better reflect the production
  status of the package.

- Add read.xls(), a function to read Microsoft Excel files by
  translating them to csv files via the xls2csv.pl script, which has
  also been added to the package.  I've provided scripts to run xls2csv: 

     Unix systems: $PACKAGE$/gregmisc/bin/xls2csv
     MS-Windows:   $PACKAGE$/gregmisc/bin/xls2csv.bat

  or you can execute the perl code directly:

     $PACKAGE$/gregmisc/perl/xls2csv.pl

  The perl script explicitly loads its libraries from the installed
  gregmisc so you don't have to worry about paths.  To get usage and
  parameter information, simply execute the script via any of the
  above methods without providing any command-line arguments.


- Improvements to CrossTable() by Marc Schwartz <MSchwartz@MedAnalytics.com>

- Improvements to ooplot() by Lodewijk Bonebakker <bonebakker@comcast.net>

- plotCI() and plotmeans() now have improved argument handling.

- The running() function now has an additional parameter `simplify'
  which controls whether the returned values are simplified into a
  vector/matrix or left as a list.

- A makefile that will download and attempt to install all available
  packages from CRAN and Bioconductor is now provided in
  $PACKAGE$/gregmisc/tools/

- space() can now space points along the 'y' dimension.

- Fix an error in the permutations code for repeats.allow=T and r>2.
  Both the bug report and fix are from Elizabeth Purdom
  <epurdom@stanford.edu>.

- Various fixes for compatibility with R 1.9.X.

Version 0.10.2
--------------

- Fixed latex warning.

- Fixed smartlegend() positioning when x and/or y axis are log-scale.

- Add function remove.vars().

Version 0.10.1
--------------

- Fixed bug in textplot() reported by Kevin Wright  <kevin.d.wright at pioneer
  dot com>.

Version 0.10.0
--------------

- Now works with and requires R 1.9.0

- Added ooplot() function that mimics Open-Office style plots.
  Contributed by Lodewijk Bonebakker <bonebakker@comcast.net>

- Fixed bug in running() that arose when the called function
  really neaded a minimum number of elements to work on.

- Added several new features to running(), it can now allow sequences
  shorter than the requested width to be present at the front, the back,
  or on both sides of the full lenth sequences.  This allows one to
  align the data so that the window is before, after, or around the
  indexed point.

- Add enhancements to estimable() provided by Sren Hjsgaard
  <sorenh@agrsci.dk>:

  The estimable function now
  1) also works on geese and gee objects and
  2) can test hypotheses af the forb L * beta = beta0 both as a
     single Wald test and row-wise for each row in L.

- Add colorpanel function, which generates a smoothly varying band of
  colors over a three color range (lo, mid, high).
