Version: 1.5.0
BUILD: bld20140512

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES TO RELEASE 1.5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.5.0
Significant improvements to CPU and RAM usage profiles in serial and
OpenMP modes of execution.  Proxmity options allow inbag, oob and all.
VIMP implements subsetting and conditional variable importance. NA
options allow the split statistic to be based on non-missing values
only.  In additon it allows random assignment of missing values.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.4.0
Modification of terminal node imputation protocol.  We now assign all
individuals the same value rather than sampling from the distribution.
Implementation of split.null option.  Implementation of unsupervised
splitting for missing data in impute.rfsrc().  Modification of nipmute
> 1 protocols.  In-bag, OOB, and all now depend on the mode.
Reduction in impute memory footprint.  Modification of proximity
option to allow in-bag, OOB, and all.  Fixed bug in predict involving
manual formula calls.  Fixed bug in find.interaction involving
specifying covariate names.  Changes relating to Undefined Behaviour
Sanitizer.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.3.0

Initial re-engineering of memory footprint for imputation.
Performance enhancements to split rules.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.2.0

Competing risks now implements two distinct splitting rules for
identifying short term risks affecting the cause-specific hazard or
long term predictions affecting the cumulative incidence function. The
plot.variable function now returns, and can reuse, a plot.variable
data structure object for user convenience. Thanks to John Ehrlinger
for this improvement. Other minor bug fixes, and enhancements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.1.0
OpenMP performance enhancements to ensemble and variable importance calculations.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.0.2
Fix to [S] missingness check when all status are non-censored.
Fix to [S] summary imputation of time.
Fix to variables used all.trees output.
Fix to manual formula interface.
Removed big.data option.
Added ntime option for survival families.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE 1.0.1
Replaced 'suggests multicore' with 'depends parallel'.  Followed
protocol in parallel package for controlling number of cores, via
options(), and environment variables.  Reduced [S] memory footprint by
prematurely de-allocating terminal node information.

RELEASE 1.0.0 represents the first release of the
package.  Please report bugs to commerce@kogalur.com
