  - new vignette introducing the parametric functional approximate
    Bayesian (PFAB) algorithm

                 Changes in version 0.5-0 (2018-01-26)                  

New features

  - improvements to Bayesian indirect likelihood (BIL) algorithm
    (mh$alg="aux"):
    
      - MH hyperparameter Ecrit for 2nd order phase transition when k
        > 4
      - MH hyperparameter factor to inflate the variance of the
        surrogate model
      - separate MH hyperparameters Vmax1,Vmax2 for $\beta <
        \beta_{crit}$ and $\beta > \beta_{crit}$, respectively

  - option mh$sort to impose an ordering constraint on the component
    means

Bug fixes

  - removed OpenMP options from Makevars to fix problems with
    RcppArmadillo. Users should edit ~/.R/Makevars to enabel
    multithreading.

  - no longer wait for mh$auxiliary iterations before beginning to
    update $\beta$ using the exchange algorithm or ABC. For $\beta >
    \beta_{crit}$, this increased the propensity of the Gibbs sampler to
    become stuck in a suboptimal local mode, far from the true parameter
    value.

  - added jss.bst and jss.cls to .Rbuildignore

                 Changes in version 0.4-1 (2017-10-19)                  

  - removed the deprecated slices parameter from mcmcPotts()

  - some minor edits to the Roxygen documentation

  - added ORCID to DESCRIPTION

  - removed the R package PottsUtils from Suggested packages; added
    mcmcse

  - moved README-chunkname.png images from root directory to inst/images

                 Changes in version 0.4-0 (2017-03-21)                  

New features

  - Functions getNeighbors(), getEdges(), getBlocks() contributed by Dai
    Feng. These are currently exact copies of the equivalent functions
    in the R package PottsUtils. The reason for duplicating this code is
    to avoid picking up dependencies on miscF, R2jags, BRugs, etc.
    
      - https://cran.r-project.org/package=PottsUtils

  - Added new option to swNoData and mcmcPottsNoData to initialise the
    labels using either random or deterministic values. This can be
    useful when comparing the convergence of the Swendsen-Wang and Gibbs
    sampling algorithms to known distributions (e.g. when $\beta$=0 or
    $\infty$)

  - Additional documentation in README.md with an example of usage

Bug fixes

  - Fixed compile errors on SPARC Solaris

  - Fixed compile warnings from icpc (Intel Parallel Studio XE) on Linux

  - Added bayesImageS_init.cpp to call R_registerRoutines and
    R_useDynamicSymbols

  - First version released on CRAN

                       Changes in version 0.1-21
