Changes in version 0.98 (2016-06-06)

Bug fixes:

- implementation and documentation of type V has been corrected. It was 
  mentioned in the documentation that the scale parameter corresponds
  to the reciprocal value of the usual scale parameter (aka rate) of
  the inverse gamma distribution, but this was neither implemented correctly 
  nor was the probability density function (from the help page) 
  right. 
  The scale parameter now corresponds to the usual scale parameter
  of the inverse gamma distribution, the implementation and the documentation
  have been corrected and adapted. 
  (Many thanks to Andrew Beck for reporting!)
  
Small changes:

- replaced CHANGES with NEWS (and using corresponding markup). 

- added many importFrom directives to NAMESPACE and replaced calls to 
  require with calls to requireNamespace (as suggested by package 
  CHECK).

- removed CITATION file (which would be equal to default citation info).

Changes in version 0.97 (2013-11-20)

Bug fixes:
  
- bug fix (and speedup) of random number generation for Pearson type IV 
  distributions. (Many thanks to Dave DeMers for reporting!).
  
Changes in version 0.96 (2013-10-02)
  
Small changes:

- dispensable file 'LICENSE' removed (due to check NOTE).
  
- dispensable use of ':::' removed (due to check NOTE).
  
Changes in version 0.95 (2013-01-11)
  
Small changes:

- calls of (deprecated and soon-to-be-defunct) function 'is.real' replaced 
  with calls of 'is.double' (reported by Prof Brian Ripley).

Changes in version 0.94 (2012-09-25)

Bug fixes:

- ensure that functions to be minimized by nlminb do not return NA or NaN
  any more (by replacing NA/NaN results with +Inf) because nlminb does
  not work reliably with NA/NaN function values.
  (Many thanks to Prof Brian Ripley for pointing this out)
  
- bug fix of pearsonDiagram (for max.skewness>=32 [squared.skewness=TRUE]
  and max.skewnewss>=sqrt(32) [squared.skewness=FALSE])
  
New features:

- new function pearsonMSC for model selection purposes.
  (suggestion/wish from Dr. Ross Larsen Ph.D) 

Changes in version 0.93 (2012-04-02)
  
Small changes:

- caching of package gsl's availability status removed, because using
  'installed.packages' or 'require' in .onAttach should be avoided 
  (as NOTEd in check results since [about] R-2.15.0). Slow down should be 
  negligible.
  
- correction of link to Heinrich's working paper
  
Changes in version 0.92 (2010-04-23)
  
Bug fixes:

- NAs and NaNs were not handled properly in ppearsonIV and qpearsonIV

- (documentation) bug fix:
  typo in the density function for Pearson type VI (only pdf-manual)
  many thanks to Young Hwa Sung for reporting the typo!

Changes in version 0.91 (2009-09-29)
  
Bug fixes: 

- autoconf/configure mechanism was messed up -> no MacOS X binary on CRAN
  Many thanks to Simon Urbanek <simon.urbanek@r-project.org> for his valuable
  help (and autoconf lesson)!
