NEWS
o #fortan split into pieces in different packages
o NAMESPACES??
o revised tframe docmentation?, demo?, unbundled?
CHANGES IN DSE AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2004.?-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o The NEWS file for setRNG is now maintained separately in that package.
o Started using separate version numbers for setRNG and syskern, but still
using a common one for all dse and dseplus packages.
o moved some more documentation from the code into the help files. There
is still some clean up to do.
o fixed documentation mistakes, bugs and error checking in
simulations with user supplied random numbers.
o TREND in ARMA models generalized and documented better and to indicate
that this term in ARMA models handles more than just trends.
o added "state" extraction utility and examples in SS, l.SS and
smoother documentation
o added a check in seriesNames<- that the number of names matched the
number of series.
o added \concept{DSE} in the documentation.
Changes Affecting Development
o require(ts) and require(mva) changed to require(stats) for R 1.9.0
o continuing Makefile cleanup.
o moved bundle constuction to Bundle directory.
CHANGES IN DSE, setRNG, AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2004.4-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o fixed window.default (tfwindow) warnings in vignettes
o fixed a bug in the constructor TSdata.default which prevented
tframe and series name information from being properly used
in the resulting TSdata object.
Changes Affecting Development
o fixed some version number tests which will not work correctly in R-2.0.
CHANGES IN DSE, setRNG, AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2004.3-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o setRNG has been unbundled from dse and is distributed as a standalone
package, but is required by dse.
o the tframe package was reworked to avoid the need to override generic
functions (start, end, frequency, time, and diff) in base, as this is
not allowed in 1.9.0. New generic functions (tfstart, ...) were
added to look after some programming situations where the old
generics do not work. Users typically should not need to use these
methods at the command line (but may prefer to for programming). The
method periods() was renamed tfperiods() to give a consistent naming
convention.
o a tf (time frame) argument, which can replace start, end and frequency,
was added to several functions.
o start. and end. where replaced by start and end in tfwindow, tfplot, and
simulate methods, since the code can now distinguish the function
start() from the variable start.
o the names of some method arguments were modified to match generic
arguments (as caught be R 1.9.0 tools).
Changes Affecting Development
o makefiles were re-arranged and cleaned up.
o as.double() and double() calls to .Fortran changed slightly.
CHANGES IN DSE AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2003.9-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o fixed bug in fixConstants which prevented setting of arbitrary elements
in SS models to constant (non-parameter) values other than 0 or 1. The
documentation of fixConstants was also improved.
o fixed bug causing occassional seg faults in smoother.
o fixed bug preventing estMaxLik properly setting the estimated parameters
in SS models (so they appeared to be unchanged).
o usage of random seed tightened up to correspond to R 1.8.0
o minor documentation errors caught by new tools() have been fixed.
Changes Affecting Development
o use of tools() in Makefiles has been been further refined.
o prcomp eliminated as version in R 1.8.0 now supports complex matrix.
CHANGES IN DSE AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2003.6-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o several more program names have been revised so as to avoid confusion
with methods for generics with similar names. (That is, function
foo.bar has been changed to fooBar, or to barFoo in some cases.)
o DSEversion (previously version.DSE) gives the version of
each package.
Changes Affecting Development
o testing in Makefiles has been been further refined.
CHANGES IN DSE AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2003.4-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o dseplus which works with the previous dse changes is released.
Changes Affecting Development
o testing in Makefiles has been been further refined.
o test tolerances in dseplus have been adjusted for R 1.7.0 and Splus 3.3.
o very minor changes because of R 1.7.0 name spaces.
CHANGES IN DSE AND DSEPLUS VERSION 2003.2-1
Changes (Possibly) Affecting Users
o several program names have been revised so as to avoid confusion
with methods for generics with similar names. For this reason, the
new Users' Guide should be used, despite its problems.
o the Users' guide is (being) broken down into pieces for each
package and re-written using Sweave (with .Stex files in inst/doc).
The Users' Guide (dse-guide.pdf) is still placed in dse1/inst/doc
as the bundle structure does not have a place for documentation.
o the old package syskern has been divided into setRNG which is included
with dse and a new package syskern which is moved to dseplus.
o most routines have been convert to use La.svd and La.eigen in place
of svd and eigen (and test values were revised slightly in some cases).
o DSE.HOME has been removed and .path.package is used in its place.
o version.DSE now gives the version of each package.
Changes Affecting Development
o testing in Makefiles has been revised so code (Rcode+tests) is the
only inter-package dependency. Examples, demos, and guides do not
affect other packages.
o reliance on bundle structure is largely removed, and Makefiles
have been re-organized to reflect this.
