\section{Changes in version 0.7.0 (6th February (morning), 2017)}{
\subsection{New functions}{
\itemize{
\item \code{analyse_FadingMeasurement()}:
Analyse fading measurements to calculate g-values and to estimate
the density of recombination centres.
\item \code{analyse_portableOSL()}:

\itemize{
\item \code{ExampleData.fading}:
Example data set for fading measurements of the IR50, IR100, IR150 and IR225
feldspar signals of sample UNIL/NB123. It further contains regular
equivalent dose measurement data of the same sample, which can be used
to apply a fading correction to. These data were kindly provided by Georgina King.
}
}
\subsection{Changes in S4-classes and methods}{
\itemize{
\item Method \code{get_RLum} for \code{RLum.Analysis}-objects did not respect \code{.pid}, fixed.
\item Method \code{get_RLum} for \code{list}-objects now accepts lists with all kinds of
\code{RLum}-objects. Previously, only lists of \code{RLum.Analysis}-objects were allowed.
\item \code{plot_RLum} was not passing the argument \code{sub}, as it was fetched by the partial
argument matching; fixed.
\item \code{set_RLum} produced \code{NA} as originator, if the function calling the function
\code{set_RLum()} was called from outside of the package using the double colons
(e.g., \code{Luminescence::function()}); fixed.
\item \code{smooth_RLum} add method support for \code{RLum.Data.Curve}, \code{RLum.Analysis} and

\item \code{analyse_baSARL()}{
\itemize{
\item Due to a typo in the manual the \code{method_control} parameter \code{variable.names} was

correct is 'variable.names'); typo corrected fixed,
\item minor improvements and error corrections.
}
}
\itemize{
\item \code{analyse_IRSAR.RF()}{
\itemize{
\item Add option for a vertical sliding of the RF_nat curve (\code{method_control = list(vslide_range = 'auto')}). This
feature has beta status and usage for publication work is not recommended yet. By default no vertical
sliding is applied,
\item allow a parallel processing of MC runs by using the argument \code{method_control = list(cores = 'auto')}.
}
}
\item \code{analyse_SAR.CWOSL()}{
\itemize{
\item Fix wrongly set threshold value for recuperation rate (#26),

\code{RLum.Results} object for \code{g_value},
\item new argument \code{interval} to control the age interval for solving the equation
via \code{uniroot}.
}
}
\item \code{calc_FiniteMixture()}{
\itemize{
\item Fixed a bug where certain arguments where not passed to `plot_RLum.Results`
so that the plot was not as customisable as intended.
Thanks to Daniele Questiaux for reporting the bug.
}
}
\item \code{calc_MaxDose()}{
\itemize{
\item Fixed a bug in the console output, which provided wrong values for the
asymmetric error on gamma (Note that the values in the output object
were correct!). Thankfully reported by Xue Rui.
}
}
\item \code{calc_Statistics()}{
\itemize{
\item The argument \code{n.MC} got a new value \code{NULL} which is now
used as default. With this the basic statistical measures are in accordance
with the expectations (e.g., the standard deviation is returned by default in
the conventional way and not calculated using an MC simulation).
}
}
\item \code{calc_OSLLxTxRatio()}{
\itemize{
\item Add argument \code{use_previousBG} to use the background of the Lx-curve to

\itemize{
\item Update function arguments to account for changes in RLumModel version 0.2.0.
}
}
\item \code{plot_DetPlot()}{
\itemize{
\item Correct negative y-axis, the minimum is now the real minimum.
}
}
\item \code{plot_GrowthCurve()}{
\itemize{
\item Reduce number of confusing warning,
\item add new argument \code{mode} to select the calculation mode of the function.
This allows in particular to only fit data without calculating a De or calculating
a De assuming an additive dose response curve,
\item account for the very specifc case that all dose points are similar. The function
stops with an error and returns NULL,
\item under weird circumstances points on the growth curve were not plotted correctly; fixed.
}
}
\item \code{plot_RadialPlot()}{
\itemize{
\item Sometimes the function crashed with an out of bonds error if more than one data set
was provided; fixed,
\item argument \code{negatives} caused an error if not set to \code{'remove'} and fix
some errors around this option,
\item De-adjustment for negative values optimised for large scatter.
}
}
\item \code{plot_RLum.Analysis()}{
\itemize{
\item The usage of the argument \code{smooth} led to a crash; fixed.
}
}
\item \code{plot_RLum.Data.Curve()}{
\itemize{
\item Function will not stop anymore if the curve contains \code{NA} values, but if
the curve consists of only \code{NA} values.
}
}
\item \code{plot_RLum.Data.Spectrum()}{
\itemize{
\item The interactive plot option was broken with the last update of the
package 'plotly'; fixed.
}
}
\item \code{plot_ViolinPlot()}{
\itemize{
\item The function erroneously produced a NA value warning; fixed.
}
}
\item \code{read_BIN2R()}{
\itemize{
\item If BIN-files are automatically imported the function skipped non BIN-files
without crashing if it is used in combination with the argument \code{pattern},
\item add new argument \code{irgnore.RECTYPE} to provide a solution for broken BIN-files
are BIN-files with non documented entries. Furthermore the general behaviour for such
cases had been optimised.
}
}
\item \code{read_Daybreak2R()}{
\itemize{
\item Add support for DAT-files produced by at 1100 reader using the software (TLAPLLIC v.3.2).
Thanks to Antoine Zink,
\item minor error corrections and adding example code.
}
}
\item \code{template_DRAC()}{
\itemize{
\item Fixed a typo in the column names (#28).
}
}
\item \code{use_DRAC()}{
\itemize{
\item Now supports DRAC v1.2 and the newly introduced CSV input template.
Older v1.1 excel sheet input templates are still supported, but users
are highly encouraged to use the new CSV file.
\item Columns in the output tables are now assigned proper classes (#27).
}
}
}
}
}
\subsection{Internals}{
\itemize{
\item The internal function converting BIN-file curves to RLum.Data.Curve() objects had been
optimised and, amongst others, now uses a function written using Rcpp to create the curve matrix.
The conversion now works ca. two times faster,
\item add \code{`[<-]`} method for \code{RLum.Data.Curve} objects,
\item a hint on how to cite a function is now added automatically to every major function manual page,
\item add 'magrittr' to the package dependencies (imports) to further support the usage of this amazing
pipe operator,
\item thanks to Johannes Friedrich this release introduces regular unit tests using
the package 'testthat' to improve the code quality and stability,
\item add internal helper function \code{.smoothing}; no Rd entry.
}
}
