#  News: to package distrDoc 
######################################################################

(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 2.3
##############

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


BUGFIXES:

+ changed mail address:
  triggered by mail by Sven Sewitz sas69@cam.ac.uk, replaced all dead links 
  to distr.pdf in www files by url to vignette of distrDoc on CRAN;
  also replaced uni-bayreuth.de mail address by itwm.fraunhofer.de one

----------------
Changes after changes in R , R-forge
----------------

+ cleanup issues:

   -Package: distrDoc Version: 2.2 Flavor: r-devel-linux-ix86
    Check: package vignettes ... WARNING
    *** Weave Errors ***
    File /home/hornik/tmp/R.check/r-devel/Work/PKGS/distrDoc.Rcheck/inst/doc/distr.Rnw :
    chunk 36 (label=plotex9) 
    Error : '\%' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "my Distribution: \%"

  => removed tag in distr.Rnw in distrDoc
     <<cleanup, echo=FALSE>>=
       unloadNamespace("SweaveListingUtils")
     @
     similarly in newDistributions.Rnw 

  => small changes in SweaveListingUtils in order to pass R CMD check again...



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

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:

+ removed NAMESPACE - we do not need it so far
+ 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)
+ vignette: 
  * included svn-multi style files to /inst/doc folders for upload on CRAN

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

##############
v 2.0.3
##############
  
  * under the hood: 
     + enhanced plotting (correct dispatch; opening of new device is controlled
       by option("newDevice") )
     + after JMC's changes: gone through setIs relations to ensure 
       "correct" inheritance

   compliant to 
   https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-May/045791.html
 * modified example nFoldConvolution.R (taking care of the new generic 'convpow()'
   in package 'distr' from version 1.9 on
 * some linebreaks added to avoid overly long lines
 * added chunk \SweaveOpts{keep.source=TRUE} to keep comments and linebreaks in source
 * mentioned in package-help: startup messages may now also be suppressed by
