o New flag to sdreport() reduces memory usage when bias correcting a
  large number of variables.

o New experimental function checkConsistency() to check the Laplace

------------------------------------------------------------------------
TMB 1.6.0 (2015-10-08)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

o Major changeset to get closer to CRAN submission

  - Added 'dontrun' to most examples. Reason: All useful TMB examples
  take too long time to run because they require compilation.

  - Removed TMB-internals.

  - Added Roxygen for remaining functions: dynlib()
  runSymbolicAnalysis() config() plot.parallelBenchmark()
  summary.sdreport() print.sdreport() print.backtrace()
  plot.tmbprofile() confint.tmbprofile()

  - Got rid of global configuration, e.g flagsDefaults(),
  newtonDefaults() etc.

  - Reworked newtonOption() and adapted all examples to new syntax.
  (NOTE: not entirely backwards compatible since to old version
  modified global settings, which we do not allow anymore).

  - Fixed several typos, e.g. c++ -> C++

  - CITATION: Added arxiv reference.

  - DESCRIPTION: Changed title and added URL.

  - NAMESPACE: Cleanup

o CppAD jacobian: prefer reverse mode over forward mode if work is equal
  - TMB only requires 1st order reverse (not forward) mode to be
  implemented for atomic functions. This can result in the error
  'order not implemented' if CppAD automatically selects forward over
  reverse mode.
  - In cases where the work of forward and reverse mode are equal it
  is therefore more natural (from TMB perspective) to select reverse
  mode.

o Document parallel_accumulator #122

o Lots of doxygen documentation updates

------------------------------------------------------------------------
TMB 1.5-1 (2015-10-04)

  template.

  routines.

  should not drop zero-entries that could potentially become nonzero
  (i.e. parameter dependent entries).

o New experimental function 'oneStepPredict' for OSA residuals with
