CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2

BUG FIXES

    o   Fixed error when a vector of files was passed to decompressBeadData().
    Formerly, if arrayMask was NULL each output file was created with the same
    name, overwriting the previous one.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.1

NEW FEATURES

    o   Added function extractLocsFile()

    o 	Added function readCompressedData()

    o 	decompressBeadData() will now take a vector of input files, rather than
    requiring a loop.

    o 	Reduced decompression time by about 50% by using .Call() rather than apply()

BUG FIXES

    o   Fixed error when extracting red channel information using readCompressedData(). 
    Thanks to Prof. Tim Triche for identifying and patching this.

    o   Fixed rounding errors when dealing with very small and/or negative coordinates.

    o 	Check indices are now employed correctly.

    o 	If any beads can't be positioned using the reduced index compression
    halts and the user is informed.

    o 	Fixed a major bug that resulted in the .locs file being randomly ordered on reconstruction 
	if the full index was used.

    o 	Now stops and informs the user if there are negative coordinates in the .locs file.



CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99

NEW FEATURES

    o 	Improved speed when using lossy compression by switcing some code from apply() to .Call()

    o 	Progress bar is now optional

    o 	Package created

BUG FIXES

    o 	Fixed bug which put red channel out by 1 pixel when using offset coordinates

    o 	Now works correctly in the case where an array consists of a single segment, e.g. Human 1M

    o 	Fixed bug in creating full index

    o 	Fixed bug in combining .txt and .locs files due to duplicate entries

    o 	Fixed bug in writing intensity flags.  Introduced when switching from calloc() to R_alloc().

    o 	Set a default file name for output from compressBeadData if left blank

    o 	Compression progress bar no longer stops at 70%

    o 	Set limits on the number of bytes for storing the fractional part
    
    o 	Replaced calloc() with R_alloc() in C code
    
    o 	Registered C functions
