CRAN Release 0.7.9

This release includes major upgrades for synoptic table calculation (syntable()) and sorting (synsort()). It makes the functions suitable to process large vegetation databases in long-table format and implements new sorting options. Furthermore different options of fidelity calculation are now implemented.
A new function to perform heterogeneity-constrained random (HCR) resampling (hcr_resampling(); following Lengyel, Chytrý & Tichý, 2011) is now included.

CRAN Release 0.7.6

This release introduces some fixes:

• Fixed a mistake in per2cov, leading to wrong assignments in specific cases
• Added argument to define number of decimal places in syntable-results
• Empty cell values are transformed to 0 in clean_matrix
• Fixed clean_matrix to work correctly with non-numeric values in data tables

CRAN release 0.7.4

This release added an option to transform with individual scales per sample when transforming cover-abundance values with cov2per and per2cov and enhanced some descriptions.

Release 0.7.3

This release adds two new functions for one-step cleaning and transposing of vegetation matrices: clean_matrix and trans_matrix. It also includes an improved merge_taxa to make it work much faster and added further options.

CRAN release 0.7.2

This release mainly fixes some problems and adds new options in merge_taxa

CRAN release 0.7.1

This release contains several new functions: merge_taxa for merging taxa/species with identical names; cov2per and per2cov for conversion between cover-abundance codes and percentage cover.

Furthermore dimcheckMDS was renamed into screeplot_NMDS with enhanced description and progress bar and syntable can now handle factorial variables for defining clusters.

CRAN release 0.6.5

In this release wrong species labeling in ‘racurve()’ when ‘freq = TRUE’ was fixed.

CRAN release 0.6.4

In this release a number of problems with 'specresponse()' were fixed.
Furthermore two small functions 'deg2rad()' and 'rad2deg()' for conversion between radians and degrees were added.

CRAN release 0.6.1

In this release 'specresponse()' now includes full model results in an (invisible) object and explained deviances and p-values are printed.

Furthermore it is now possible to select the least abundant (rarest) species in 'ordiselect()'.

CRAN release 0.6.0

In this release the functions for calculation and sorting of synoptic tables: 'syntable()' and 'synsort()' were revised and (re-)added.
Furthermore the function 'ordiselect()' was updated. It now returns exact proportion of selected species. We also did corrections in selection to axis fit limits and the variable fit now only works with factor centroids.
