#  News: to package distrTEst 
######################################################################

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

##############
v 2.8.3
##############

+ taken up pkg "distr" into "Enhances" in DESCRIPTION to ensure all 
  inter-pkg xrefs in Rd-files work

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(....) 

##############
v 2.8
##############

user-visible CHANGES:

+ plot methods now return an S3 object of class \code{c("plotInfo","DiagnInfo")}, i.e., a list containing the 
  information needed to produce the respective plot, which at a later stage could be used by different graphic engines (like, e.g. 
  \code{ggplot}) to produce the plot in a different framework. A more detailed description will follow in a subsequent version.
+ DESCRIPTION tag SVNRevision changed to VCS/SVNRevision
 
under the hood:
+ fixed some broken URLs and changed URLs from http to https where possible
+ clean up in examples: files written to are unlinked at end of examples

##############
v 2.7
##############

no changes in this version

##############
v 2.6
##############

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


##############

user-visible CHANGES:

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:

BUGFIXES:

##############
v 2.4

##############

No extra changes this time

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

##############
v 2.2
##############

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:

+ added tests/Examples folder with file distrTEst-Ex.Rout.save to have
  some automatic testing
+ added field "Encoding: latin1" to all DESCRIPTION files in order to avoid problems 
  with e.g. Windows locale when svn replaces $LastChangedDate
+ added TOBEDONE (sic!) files for each package (by accident also in trunc; these are empty so far)

##############

##############

* Rd-style:
  + several buglets detected with the fuzzier checking mechanism

       [Rd] Warning: missing text for item ... in \describe? , Prof Brian Ripley,

##############

##############
  
  * under the hood: 
     + enhanced plotting (correct dispatch; opening of new device is controlled

       "correct" inheritance
  * moved license to LGPL-3

##############
v 1.9

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-May/045791.html

* slot call.ev in Evaluation class now of class "CallorNULL"
* new slot Data of class Dataclass, but which in turn, in case of simulations,
  has an empty "Data"-slot (to be able to check whether all Data sets of an
  Evaluation List coincide)
* new class EvaluationList with slots name ("character") and Elist ("list") 
  to gather the results of several Evaluations on the same data set
* revised plot method  for class Evaluation to account for multivariate results
* print,plot,summary,show methods for EvaluationList 
* Data as an accessor to slot Data for Evaluation class and
