Changes in version 1.1.4 (2023-09-11)                  

  - The NOTE "Specified C++11: please drop specification unless
    essential" has been fixed.
  - a package alias has been added appropriately in the package overview
    help file.
  - the plot functionality for objects of class "smoots" is no longer
    only interactive but different plot types can now also be selected
    via a function argument.
  - the long-time deprecated argument "msg" in "bootCast()",
    "modelCast()", and "rollCast()" has been removed.

                 Changes in version 1.1.3 (2021-10-09)                  

  - a bug has been fixed that occurred when selecting p = 0 or q = 0 for
    the bootstrap approach
  - a bug has been fixed where using the deprecated argument msg in the
    function rollCast() caused an error

                 Changes in version 1.1.2 (2021-10-05)                  

  - a NAMESPACE issue (stated as a NOTE in CRAN checks) regarding the
    package 'progress' has been fixed.
  - an ERROR that occurred when running the test files on
    aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit), r-patched-solaris-x86 and
    x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) has been fixed.

                 Changes in version 1.1.1 (2021-09-22)                  

  - a minor bug in the automatically created plot title when applying
    plot.smoots() to an object returned by dsmooth() was fixed.
  - a notable performance increase was implemented for the algorithms
    considered in the functions msmooth(), tsmooth() and dsmooth().
  - RcppArmadillo was added to Suggests to address a note on
    r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang.
  - a few typos in the documentation were fixed.
  - an error in the description of the element 'ws' within lists
    returned by msmooth(), tsmooth(), dsmooth() and gsmooth() was fixed
    in the documentation.
  - an acknowledgment of the support by the German DFG project
    GZ-FE-1500-2-1 was added to the DESCRIPTION file.
  - [[Rcpp::export]] was removed from C++ functions only used by other
    C++ functions.
  - minor R code simplifications were implemented.
  - the package now makes use of the future and future.apply packages to
    improve the performance of the bootstraps in the functions
    bootCast(), modelCast() and rollCast().
  - due to the implementation of parallel code, the argument msg of the
    functions bootCast(), modelCast() and rollCast() has been
    deprecated; instead they have two new arguments pb and cores.

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2021-05-11)                  

  - the README file has been adjusted.
  - new functions were added for graphical testing of linearity
    assumptions and for forecasting.
  - a rescaling function was added to simplify the transfer of the
    obtained derivative estimates on the time interval [0, 1] to the
    actual observation
    time points.
  - the package now uses compiled C++ code within selected functions and
    needs to import the Rcpp package for this purpose.
  - due to the implemented C++ code the performance of the functions of
    version 1.0.0 has been slightly improved for this version.
  - the documentation has been adjusted with respect to the newly
    introduced functions.
  - typos and false or missing information in the documentation have
    been corrected.
  - the documentation has generally been edited with a stronger focus on
    text formatting so that actual mathematical formulae are visible in
    the package's PDF-manual
  - the S3 method plot.smoots() has been reworked and allows for more
    arguments of the standard plot function and thus for more
    flexibility.
  - improved feedback on incorrect input.
  - some default values for arguments of functions existing since
    package version 1.0.0 have been adjusted, e.g. p = v + 1 is now the
    default in gsmooth() as opposed to p = 1 in previous versions.

                 Changes in version 1.0.1 (2019-12-02)                  

  - the Imports field in the DESCRIPTION file was adjusted.
  - minor performance improvements were made.
  - the example in the README file was adjusted.
  - minor changes in the documentation were made.
  - minor changes in the print method were made.
