First release of hvtiBoostmtree, the HVTI-internal fork of boostmtree (forked from kogalur/boostmtree @ v1.5.1). Upstream boostmtree is back on CRAN, so this fork is internal-only and renamed to the hvti* namespace to avoid ambiguity. The boostmtree() function and its S3 methods are unchanged — usage is now library(hvtiBoostmtree); boostmtree(...).

Breaking Changes

  • Package renamed from boostmtree to hvtiBoostmtree (internal-only fork; the original boostmtree name remains with the upstream CRAN package). The boostmtree() function and S3 methods are unchanged — usage is now library(hvtiBoostmtree); boostmtree(...).
  • Minimum R version bumped to 4.1.0.
  • Maintainership transferred to John Ehrlinger. Original authors (Ishwaran, Pande, Kogalur) remain as authors.

New Features

  • Added ggRandomForests, hvtiPlotR, and hvtiRutilities as optional suggested dependencies for enhanced ggplot2-based visualization workflows.
  • Added two vignettes: Introduction to boostmtree and Longitudinal Data Analysis with boostmtree.
  • pkgdown documentation site fully restructured with reference index, articles, and sidebar badges.
  • BugReports field added to DESCRIPTION pointing to GitHub Issues.

Documentation

  • Comprehensive README rewritten with full badge set, installation instructions, quick-start examples, and reference citations.
  • NEWS.md introduced (in addition to inst/NEWS) for pkgdown changelog rendering.

Release gate: R CMD check --as-cran (with PDF manual) 0 errors / 0 warnings / 1 benign NOTE; full CI matrix green (ubuntu release/oldrel-1/devel, windows, macOS); urlchecker clean; roxygen2 clean.
