-Revision history for the R/broman package
------------------------------------------
-
-Version 0.78, 2022-07-08
-
-  Include <limits.h> in a C file, for upcoming change to R.
-
-
-Version 0.76, 2021-10-11
-
-  Removed all pushbullet functions. They stopped supporting iOS
-  which makes it useless for me.
-
-  Added warning to dec2hex() and add to documentation for that and
-  hex2dec(), about maximum allowable values (2^31 - 1).
-
-  Revised bromanversion() to handle a case like "0.74".
-
-
-Version 0.72-4, 2021-02-04
-
-  Changed default max_jiggle in dotplot() to 0.45 (rather than NULL).
-  Similarly changed default for maxvalue in jiggle() to 0.45.
-
-  Fixed typo in help file for excel_fig().
-
-
-Version 0.71-6, 2020-11-18
-
-  Changed the default "jiggle" method in jiggle() and dotplot() to
-  be "random", as it seems to work better than the deterministic
-  approach ("fixed").
-
-  Fixed problem in ciplot() to avoid warnings about some graphics
-  parameters.
-
-  grayplot() now can take mgp graphics argument.
-
-  Added argument maxvalue to jiggle(), and max_jiggle to dotplot(), to
-  better control the horizontal jiggling of points when there is a lot
-  of data. (Fixes Issue #8)
-
-  Make it so you can adjust the vertical lines in dotplot() by including
-  vlines.lwd and/or vlines.col. (Fixes Issue #7)
-
-  Make it so you can use v_over_h in dotplot()
-
-  Fixed potential problem in documentation, since plot() has moved
-  from the graphics package to base.
-
-
-Version 0.70-4, 2020-05-21
-
-  Added an option to include grid lines in triplot(), and a separate
-  function trigrid() that does the work and may be called
-  separately.
-
-  Added twocolorpal() for a color palette that goes from one color
-  (say blue) to another (say red) through a third (say white). That
-  is, blue to white to red.
-
-  In vec2string(), add conjunction argument, to allow a different
-  combining word than "and".
-
-  In ciplot(), allow argument main in ... to be passed to
-  grayplot() and so on to plot().
-
-
-Version 0.69-5, 2019-04-11:
-
-  Added function ciplot() for plotting a set of confidence intervals.
-
-  Added operators %nin%, %win%, and %wnin%.
-  a %nin% b   is like !(a %in% b)
-  a %win% b   is like a[a %in% b]
-  a %wnin% b  is like a[a %nin% b]
-
-  Added function spell_out() for spelling out numbers provided they are
-  smallish integers. Goes with the datasets numbers and Numbers.
-
-  Added function revgray() that's like revrainbow() but white/black.
-
-  In dotplot(), make "Group" the default axis label whether rotated or
-  not. (Was when rotate=TRUE, but not when rotate=FALSE.)
-
-  Use Markdown throughout documentation
-
-
-Version 0.68-2, 2018-07-25:
-
-  Added function tritext(), to go with triplot(), tripoints(),
-  trilines(), and triarrows(), but to add text annotations.
-
-  Revised openfile() so that it works on Linux.
-
-
-Version 0.67-4, 2017-12-08:
-
-  Added function grayplot_na(). It's like grayplot, but includes boxes
-  near the margins to show points that are missing x or y or both.
-
-  Added function vec2string() for turning a vector into a string with
-  the items separated by commas and an "and". This is for use in
-  R Markdown documents, to list a series of items.
-
-  Added function get_precision() for determining the precision of a
-  number (the number of digits past the decimal point). I want to use
-  this to compare two data sets with different amounts of rounding, to
-  pick the more precise values.
-
-  Added function align_vectors() for aligning two vectors using their
-  names attributes.
-
-  In grayplot(), have default be pch=21 and bg="lightblue" (that is,
-  points that are lightblue with a black circle around them).
-
-
-Version 0.66-2, 2017-10-24:

-
-  Fix bug in dotplot() in case that y has missing values (omit them).
-
-
-Version 0.65-4, 2017-05-07:
-
-  In note() for RPushbullet, force 'body' to be non-empty, because we
-  get an error otherwise.  In done(), use body=NULL to avoid similar
-  errors.
-
-
-Version 0.65-3, 2017-05-04:
-
-  Added the function crayons() which is shorthand for
-  brocolors("crayons"), but also can take a subset of color names, and
-  uses grep to find partial matches. So you can use
-  crayons("purple mountain") rather than
-  brocolors("crayons")["Purple Mountain's Majesty"]
-
-
-Version 0.65-2, 2017-02-21:
-
-  Fix problem with pushbullet_devices(); output of

-
-  Add function dotplot() which is a simplified version of grayplot()
-  for categorical x.
-
-  Add function jiggle() for horizontal jiggling, either "fixed"
-  (deterministic, similar to the beeswarm package) or "random"; used
-  in dotplot()
-
-  In grayplot(), have vlines and hlines follow from xlim and ylim,
-  respectively, if they're provided.

-  that removes the tick boxes and adds a black border.
-
-
-Version 0.54-3, 2015-03-05:

-
-Version 0.11, 4/29/2002:
-
-    Added perm.test and paired.perm.test for getting p-values for a
-    two-sample t-statistic by permutation.

-    fixed.
-
-
-Version 0.10, 11/21/2001:
-
-    This is a package to contain miscellaneous R functions that I find
-    useful.
-
-    Currently, it contains functions to get SEs of sample quantiles,
-    a sampling version of fisher.test, a re-parse of the output of
-    qr(), simulation from a multivariate normal distribution, and
-    numerical integration by Simpson's rule.
