* Eliminated package lawStat which no longer exists
* Adapted to modifications in ggplot2 packages >= 4.0.0

# superb 1.0.0 (August 13,2025)

* Codename: 100% confident;
* Celebrating the fourth anniversary of `superb`!
* Corrected small bug for 4-factor designs within `superb()`;
* Added a check that long-format within-subject datasets have a single
  score per cell;

# superb 0.95.23 (January 17th, 2025)

* Codename: living dangerously;

  statistics functions. Useful if the function may be masked 
  by other packages declaring functions with the same name;
* Updated options so that EXPERIMENTAL messages can be inhibited;
* Added `range(low, high)` to the `GRD()`'s `Instrument` specification;

# superb 0.95.22 (December 30th, 2024)

* Minor bug to `superbToWide()`: if a missing subject was the
  first of a group, that was converting to long poorly with `reshape()`;
* Modified `GRD()` to generate within-subject factors with the first 
  factor cycling more rapidly. This is consistent with `dcast()` and
  other long-to-wide functions.

# superb 0.95.21 (December 4th, 2024)

* Made `superb()` determine automatically the `WSDesign` in case the 
    design is not full factorial and the data are long;

  have two distinct colors in the vertical part of the error bar.

# superb 0.95.18 (October 15th, 2024)

* Corrected a bug with ``geom_superberrorbar()``.

    by superimposing a violin plot with halves and individualline plot.
