# StratPal 0.7.1

* fix documentation and data

# StratPal 0.7.0

* added vignette with platform figures

* updated example data to CarboKitten.jl

* `strat_filter` for simple stratigraphic filtering in the time domain

* construction of `char_mat` for character matrices associated with positional data (time / height)

* taphonomic effects of `char_mat` via `apply_taphonomy.char_mat` that is associative with event type/`fossils`

# StratPal 0.6.0

* Add wrappers `last_occ` and `range_offset` to determine position/timing of last occurrences & biostratigraphic precision as a function of taphonomy, ecology, abundance, and stratigraphy.

# StratPal 0.5.0

* Expand integration with the `FossilSim` package

# StratPal 0.4.0

* Convenience functions `discrete_niche` and `discrete_gradient` for defining niches from discrete categories

* Integration with the `FossilSim` package, specifically transformation of `fossils` objects

# StratPal 0.3.1

# StratPal 0.3.0

* bug fix for `apply_niche` and `apply_taphonomy` for `pre_paleoTS` format

* plotting for `pre_paleoTS` fixed

# StratPal 0.2.0

* introduce S3 class `pre_paleoTS` with simulation procedures for trait evolution on specimen level

* add `reduce_to_paleoTS` to reduce `pre_paleoTS` to `paleoTS` format for linking with`paleoTS` package

* add niche modeling and taphonomic effects for `pre_paleoTS` via dispatch of `apply_niche` and `apply_taphonomy`

* add more tests
