The major functional changes in v 2.0.0-2.0.4 are as follows.
The release adds support for multiple methods of standard error calculations derived from the robust statistics
work of R. Douglas Martin. The code was primarily written by Anthony-Alexander Cristidis during Google Summer of Code 2018 and following, and is mostly included by reference to packages RobStatTM and
RPESE if the user desires to utilize the standard errors functionality.
This release adds support for plotting engines dygraphs, plotly, ggplot2, and googleVis to charting functions that are able to support those engines via the use of a new plot.engine argument. This work was predominantly completed by Ziheng 'Zenith' Zhou mentored by Justin Shea as part of Google Summer of Code 2019.This functionality is working, but consider it experimental for now. It may change in the future as we receive feedback and patches from users.
Also, we changed the test infrastructure to tinytest from testthat, after unreproducible
traceback results on some Windows platforms.
Note that some examples are disabled on Windows because of runtime issues with
the Rtools4 'experimental' toolchain. Users may still run this code, of course.
... and the usual minor things that get changed and updated in the general
course of maintenance.
