SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  - CCI now returns an object with colnames ("cci").

  - All moving average functions now attempt to set colnames.

    high-low range instead of hard-coding it at 0.01.

    single-factor model, thanks to James Toll for the prototype.

  - Added runPercentRank function, thanks to Charlie Friedemann.

  - Moved slowest portion of aroon() to C.

  - DonchianChannel gains an 'include.lag=FALSE' argument, which includes the
    current period's data in the calculation. Setting it to TRUE replicates
    the original calculation. Thanks to Garrett See and John Bollinger.

  - The Stochastic Oscillator and Williams' %R now return 0.5 (instead of NaN)
    when a securities' price doesn't change over a sufficient period.

    mavg.fast=maType[[1]], as users expected based on the order of the nFast
    and nSlow arguments. Thanks to Phani Nukala and Jonathan Roy.

  - Fixed bug in lags function, thanks to Michael Weylandt.

    people for identifying this error.

    statistic. This is consistent with Bollinger Band literature. Thanks to
    Jeff Ryan for the patch.

  - Fixed stockSymbols for nasdaq.com changes.

  - Fixed ZLEMA default ratio by changing it from 2/(n-1) to 2/(n+1). This
    makes it consistent with EMA. Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel.

    period in the calculation.

  - Added the zig zag indicator: ZigZag().

  - Made the following changes to the 'ZLEMA' function:
     - Add ratio argument with default = NULL
     - Non-integer lags are a weighted mean of the two nearest

    length if either series had leading NAs (similar to EVWMA function).

  - Corrected EVWMA to start at period 'n' instead of 'n-1'.
