pedbuildr 0.4.0

• pedbuildr now uses mirai for parallel likelihood computations in reconstruct(), giving substantial speedups in many cases. Users can enable parallelisation by starting workers with mirai::daemons() before calling reconstruct(). See ?reconstruct for details.

• The numCores argument has been deprecated, as parallelisation is now controlled through the mirai framework.

• More robust likelihood calculations. In particular, due to improved loop breaking in pedtools and pedprobr, many complex looped pedigrees that previously failed are now handled correctly.

• buildPeds() is significantly faster than before in the default case with linearInb = 0, i.e., when mating between lineally related individuals is disallowed.
