2013-04-10  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 1.2-0.
	* Version bump and update for use with rugarch 1.2-2 and R 3.0.0
	* Some fixes to methods rcoskew and rcokurt for goGARCHroll class 
	(standardize option was not being passed and defaulted to TRUE). In any case
	method failed (with error) because of code bug.
	* Some fixes to DCC rolling plots and calcultion of moving window size 
	(consistent with changes in rugarch).
	* Updated rmgarch.tests.

2013-02-20  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 1.00-4.
	
2013-02-09  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 1.00-3.
	* fscenario and fmoments re-worked. Now have fitted, rcov, rcoskew and 
	rcokurt methods for extracting the scenario and moments.
	* Some fixes to rocokurt and rcoskew with switch roll="all".
	* Updated examples in rmgarch.tests folder.

2013-02-02  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 1.00-2.
	* As in the rugarch package, xts now exclusively used. The extract methods
	sigma, fitted and residuals return an xts object, whilst the extractors
	rcov and rcor (which return arrays) have an attribute called 'index' which
	contains the time index in order to re-construct a 2-dimensional xts object
	(useful for printing pairwise correlations). The rolling forecast method has
	also been re-written to return simpler xts objects (sigma and fitted) and
	more informative arrays for the covariance and correlation. The optional 
	argument roll for denoting which rolling estimation window to return results
	is now deprecated as all the rolling forecasts are returned in a much 
	simplified container. All 3 models (GOGARCH, CGARCH and DCC) now have a 
	uniform set of extractors and return a uniform type of value.
	* Change to the DCC plot functions to conform to new xts output.
	* Changes to the copula code to reflect the vectorization of distribution
	functions in rugarch (which return vectors rather than matrices when a matrix
	is input into the first argument).
	* GO-GARCH extractors including rcov, rcor, rcoskew and rcokurt moved to C++ 
	leading to very large speedup (as a result of the affine 
	transformation/matrix multiplications).
	* Many CGARCH and DCC extractor and utility functions (e.g.'sigma' as 
	diag(time varying cov)) moved to C++ (RcppArmadillo) for more than 10x 
	speed increase.
	
2012-12-25  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 1.00.
	* Changes to comply with new rugarch package, particularly with regards
	to parallel functionality (exclusive use of parallel package), and enhancements 
	to rolling estimation and forecast.
	* Streamline of gogarch methods and some bug fixes.
	* Added FDCC model (v. 1.00-1) and rmgarch.test5 examples.
	* Started on ICA to C++ translation.

	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.99.
	* Some minor corrections to vignette.
	* Fix to static t-copula using Kendall's tau (bug in combn in .Kendall).

2012-10-17  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.98.
	* Fix to dccfit and dccfilter when using fGARCH models in first stage.
	* Added some details in the vignette on the multi-step ahead forecast
	algorithm used for the DCC model.

2012-10-03  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.97.
	* Added a Vignette with the background/details on the models implemented.
	* Added some examples online (r-forge project website).
	* Small bug fix to nisurface in GO-GARCH model arising from high precision.

2012-09-31  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.96.
	* varxfit parallel functionality implemented for expensive robust calculation
	method.
	* Substantial Re-Write of ICA functionality and export of ICA functions
	(africa package on r-forge will not be released to CRAN and eventually
	removed). Only locally implemented versions of fastica and radical are now
	allowed (removed PearsonICA and JADE).
	* Part of RADICAL code ported to C++ for speed.
	* Added different covariance estimators for the ICA whitening routines.
	* GO-GARCH model now allows to pass n.comp to ICA routine for dimensionality 
	reduction during the PCA whitening phase (via the ... argument in gogarchfit).
	Experimental at present until some theoretical issues are resolved.
	* Re-write of gogarch methods and functions.
	* Some corrections to gogarchsim.
	* Removed some dependencies no longer needed.
	
2012-05-31  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.95.
	* Export and fix of wmargin function.
	* Changes to gogarchsim to include ability to do rolling simulation
	based forecast (added example rmgarch.test1j in rmgarch.tests folder).
	* Some fixes to gogarch under certain lag combinations.
	* Numerous bug fixes to dccsim and cgarchsim function (now correctly 
	generates conditional correlated random deviates for the multivariate 
	laplace and student distributions - new C++ functions). Added small 
	test rmgarch.test2h in rmgarch.tests folder).	
	* New function DCCtest. Implements the test of non-constant correlation of
	Engle and Sheppard (2001) using a static GARCH Copula (Normal).
	* Reduced verbosity in estimation (mostly related to VAR).

2012-03-16  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.94.

	* Co-Kurtosis Tensor for GO-GARCH now correct (updated rmgarch.test1-i 
	with small example of weighted kurtosis).
	* 100x efficiency increase in intermediate storage requirement for 
	cokurtosis calculation by using klin.eval from klin package in kronecker
	product for gogarch model.
	* GARCH Scaling in DCC turned off by default.
	
2011-12-06  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.92.
	* Some fixes to build and load on newer version of R.

2011-10-09  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.91.
	* Fixed coefficient extractor method (coef) for goGARCHfit and 
	goGARCHfilter classes.

2011-09-20  Alexios Ghalanos <alexios@4dscape.com>
	* DESCRIPTION (Version): New version is 0.9.
	* Multivariate GARCH models split from rgarch package into rmgarch.
	* Substantial re-write of multivariate code.
	* Still more testing remaining and vignette will not be written until
	late 2011, at which point it will be released to CRAN (the complexity and
	new method definitions for the GOGARCH model with multivariate affine NIG 
	and GH distributions will likely make it difficult for people to use without
	a vignette).
