CRAN Release 6.1.0

[alexkowa]

There are some smaller bug fixes since the last CRAN release. So it would be good to do a CRAN release rather soon.
What do you think? Is there anything we should wait on?

I moved the irmi new formula interface to 6.2.0, so @GregorDeCillia do you have time to work on this in the next 3 months?

[GregorDeCillia]

Yes, it should be possible to take care of #33 in Q1'2020.

I just looked at the commits since the last CRAN release 6.0.0 and there are in fact some changes that should be made available. The NEWS file also looks good. I don't see any reason to wait.

I cannot build the current package because I receive a

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x15970, cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: .Call("_VIM_gowerDind", PACKAGE = "VIM", dataX, dataY, weights,     ncolNUMFAC, levOrders, mixedConstants, nR, returnMinR)
 2: gowerDind(as.matrix(data.x), as.matrix(data.y), weights[weightind],     c(length(numerical), length(factors), length(orders), length(mixed)),     levOrders, mixed.constant, nMin, as.integer(returnMin))
 3: gowerD(don_dist_var, imp_dist_var, weights = weightsx, numericalX,     factorsX, ordersX, mixedX, levOrdersX, mixed.constant = mixed.constant,     returnIndex = TRUE, nMin = as.integer(k))

 5: kNN(x)

I use R 4.0.2 on OSX.
Strangely enough, the check does not report any problems.

If you have no problems to build the package, I suggest you send it to CRAN (and I will confirm).

[alexkowa]

Sorry for the delay. So all looks fine to me (Ubuntu + Mac OS ).
@matthias-da I just pushed to R_devel and R_release on winbuilder. If the checks come back without problems, please publish https://github.com/statistikat/VIM/releases/download/6.1.0/VIM_6.1.0.tar.gz to CRAN.
Cheers, Alex

@GregorDeCillia wil fix #56 very very soon, so let's just wait for that.
