##  News: to package RandVar
###############################################################################

(first two numbers of package versions do not necessarily reflect 
 package-individual development, but rather are chosen for the 
 RobAStXXX family as a whole in order to ease updating "depends" 
 information)


#######################################
version 1.2.5
#######################################

under the hood:
+ adapted reference output for new startupmsg
+ converted encoding to UTF-8
+ transformed CITATION file to new format, i.e., bibentry() instead of citEntry(),
        c(as.person( .... ), as.person( .... ), ...), instead of 
		as.personList(....) 
+ fixed some broken URLs and changed URLs from http to https where possible
+ changed encoding to UTF-8 and updated URL for r-forge project homepage

user-visible CHANGES:
+ CITATION file now uses bibentry.

#######################################
version 1.2
#######################################

user-visible CHANGES:
+ CITATION file now uses bibentry.
+ require more recent distr/distrEx versions
+ E methods for RandVariables gain argument diagnostic
  (like E()-methods in distrEx v 2.8.0)

under the hood:
+ for consistency to the univariate methods, the liesInSupport() method for
  DiscreteMVDistribution is called with an extra argument checkFin, 
  which is not yet used.
+ E methods for RandVariables use filtering of dots arguments
  (like E()-methods in distrEx v 2.8.0)
+ E methods for RandVariables if (diagnostic==TRUE) return diagnostic attributes 
  of S3 class  "DiagnosticClass"

#######################################
version 1.1
#######################################

under the hood:
+ wherever possible also use q.l internally instead of q to 
  provide functionality in IRKernel
+ DESCRIPTION tag SVNRevision changed to VCS/SVNRevision

#######################################
version 1.0.1
#######################################

user-visible CHANGES:
+ update of Natalyias email

under the hood:
+ use of Authors@R in DESCRIPTION file

#######################################
version 1.0
#######################################

user-visible CHANGES:
+ title changed to title style / capitalization

under the hood:
+ enhanced imports in DESCRIPTION by explicating second order imports

#######################################
version 0.9
#######################################

user-visible CHANGES:

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:
+ cleaned DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE file as to Imports/Depends

under the hood:

+ added .Rbuildignore
+ introduced folder vignettes
+ some encoding problems with vignette which now includes "\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}"
+ update of Rout.save files, added seed for reproducibility
+ suppressed gaps handling and warnings from .makeDNew (annoying with GEVD) in .getImageDistr
+ deleted chm folders --- they are no longer needed
+ RobASt-Pkgs: DESCRIPTION depends become stricter (requiring distrMod, distrEx, distr >=2.4 to be on the safe side)
 
BUGFIXES


#######################################
version 0.8
#######################################

UNDER THE HOOD:
+ implemented Nataliyas quantile trick for RandVar (util).
+ changed some formatting errors in .Rd files and a 
  little error in util.R


+ DESCRIPTION files and package-help files gain a tag SVNRevision 
  to be filled by get[All]RevNr.R from utils in distr


#######################################
version 0.7
#######################################

user-visible CHANGES:

+ added svn-revision version tags to Vignette RandVar
+ expectation gains ... argument to pass on accuracy arguments


GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:

+ added TOBEDONE (sic!) files; in English (for possible collaborators) 
+ added keyword robust and made some minor corrections ...
+ added/updated NEWS files, updated CITATION files using code by A. Zeileis

+ Rd-parsing:
  * patch for Brian Ripley's
    Re: [Rd] Warning: missing text for item ... in \describe?
  * fixed errors / warnings in .Rd files detected by parser 2 
    (c.f. [Rd] More intensive checking of R help files, Prof Brian Ripley, 09.01.2009 10:25)

+ svn-revision-tags 
  * added in all DESCRIPTION files
  * added field "Encoding: latin1" to all DESCRIPTION files because
    substituting $LastChangedDate by svn would cause problems for
    packages built under Windows (German) local when checking under Linux.

+ removed pdf-file from version control - Rnw-file is sufficient


INTERNALLY:
+ Introduced .Rout.save files for tests.R and examples - minor problem 
  due to system.time: may slightly vary from run to run.

BUGFIXES:
+ fixed "NOTE" in R CMD check for RandVar
+ fixed a bug introduced in the last version:
    function(x); is incorrect R-code ! ...
 ->  when imageDistribution is automatically produced with
    .getImageDistr() by default, automatically, an AbscontDistribution was produced;
     this fails if result has non-trivial discrete part --- in extremo: if it is a DiracDistribution.
     now it checks if some values are repeatedly produced in simulations; in this case it
     will produce a UnivarLebDecDistribution  --- else still an AbscontDistribution.
+ fixed documentation error in EuclRandVarList-class.Rd,  EuclRandVariable-class.Rd
+ nasty little bug in matrix multiplication - wrong order of maps generated
+ fixed a warning issue in .Rd files of RandVar
+ inlcuded the svn-multi.sty svnkw.sty to RandVar/inst/doc acc. to indication by Kurt Hornik
+ Missing links in Rd files corrected. Links were indeed missing (cf. current version on CRAN) - 
   name of html-file has to be specified; e.g. 0distr-package instead of distr-package.

#######################################
version 0.6.6
#######################################
+ quicker way to compute image distributions of objects of class 
  DiscreteDistribution
+ use of new option "newDevice"
+ use of on.exit() to restore old settings for options() and par() at the end 
  of functions
+ introduction of NEWS-file
+ update of CITATION-file (based on code provided by A. Zeileis on R help)
