 o Fixed bug in predictor-name matching that could occur in names with periods (reported by Trevor Avery).

 o Fixed package imports to conform to new CRAN rules.

 o Added residuals.cex argument to plot.eff().

 o Changes to work with pbkrtest 0.4-4.

Version 3.0-4

 o New default of KR=FALSE because KR=TRUE can be very slow.

 o KR argument now works correctly with allEffects().

 o Mixed models with negative binomial did not work and now they do.

 o Added methods for ordinal mixed models using 'clmm2' for the ordinal package.

 o Moved pbkrtest to Suggests (wasn't done properly previously).

 o Tweak to handling key.args (suggestion of Michael Friendly).

 o Use non-robust loess smooth for partial residuals from non-Gaussian GLMs.

 o Rationalized type and rescale.axis arguments to plot.eff(); scale.axis argument is deprecated.

 o Added setStrip() and restoreStrip() to control colors of lattice strips and make beginning and ending conditioning lines clearer.

 o Added residuals.smooth.color argument to plot.eff().

 o Cleaned up sources to conform to CRAN requirements.

Version 3.0-3

 o Made key.args argument to plot.eff() and plot.effpoly() more flexible (suggestion of Ian Kyle).

 o Moved pbkrtest package to Suggests and adjusted code for mixed models accordingly, to accomodate Debian (request of Dirk Eddelbuettel).

 o Fixed \dont-test{} examples.

Version 3.0-2

 o plot.eff() honors rescale.axis=FALSE when plotting partial residuals (bug reported by Alexander Wietzke).

 o Effect.mer() can use KR coefficient covariances to construct CIs for effects in LMMs.

 o Modernized package dependencies/namespace.

Version 3.0-1

 o Added an argument vcov. to Effect and effect (and allEffects) to select a function for computing the variance covariance matrix of the coefficient estimates.  The default is the usual `vcov` fucntion.

 o Added a warning to the documentation for effect for using predictors of class "dates" or "times".

 o Fixed bug in Effect.gls() when var or cor function depends on variables in the data set (reported by Felipe Albornoz).

 o Small fixes/improvements.

Version 3.0-0

 o Added partial residuals for multidimensional component+residual plots to Effect.lm().

 o Small bug fixes.

Version 2.3-0

 o removed stray character in a the mixed models file

 o ci.style="bands" is now the default for variates on the horizontal axis and can also be used with multiline=TRUE

 o Added ci.style='bands', band.transparency, band.colors, and lwd to plot.effpoly() for line plots to give filled confidence bands and control line width

 o Added Effect.mlm() for multivariate linear models

 o Interpolating splines are now used by default when drawing lines in effects plots unless the argument use.splines=FALSE

 o effect() now calls Effect(); all effect() methods are removed, but effect() will continue to work as before.

 o Various methods for effect objects now handle factors with a "valid" NA level (fixing bug reported by Joseph Larmarange).

 o Further bug fixes in effects.mer() and effects.lme() (following bug report by Felipe E. Albornoz).

Version 2.2-6

 o plot.eff() gains an lwd= option to control the width of fitted lines.

 o Added ci.style='bands' and alpha= to plot.eff() for non-multiline plots to give filled confidence bands.

Version 2.2-5

 o Added support for polytomous latent class analysis based on the poLCA package.

 o Modified mixed-model methods to all use in user-functions.

 o Changed the default method for determining number of levels for a continuous predictor; see help page for 'effect' and discussion of the 'xlevels' argument for details.  Argument 'default.levels', while still included for compatibility, is depricated.

 o Added .merMod methods for development version of lme4.

 o Added support for lme4.0.

 o Fixed bug preventing restoration of warn option (reported by Kenneth Knoblauch).

 o Fixed handling of ticks.x argument to plot.eff() and plot.effpoly(), now works as advertized.

 o Adjusted package dependencies, imports for CRAN checks.

 o Changed name of Titanic dataset to TitanicSurvival to avoid name clash (request of Michael Friendly).

 o Minor fixes.

Version 2.2-4

 o Add argument 'ci.style' to plot.eff() and plot.eff() to allow confidence intervals to be displayed as lines or using error bars.  Confidence bars are permitted on multiline plots (after suggestion by Steve Taylor).

o Safe predictions simplified in effect.multinom() and effect.polr().

o plot() methods for eff and effpoly objects permit predictor transformations.

o Added as.data.frame.eff(), as.data.frame.effpoly(), and as.data.frame.efflatent (suggestion of Steve Taylor).

o Small bug fixes.

Version 2.2-1

o Some examples wrapped in \donttest{} to decrease package check time.

Version 2.2-0

o Introduced more flexible Effect() generic, along with Effect.lm() method for linear and generalized linear models.
