CHANGES IN VERSION 1.16.4
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o  Fix R CMD check NOTE on calling require(snowfall)

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.16.3
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fix BiocGenerics::sd and stats::sd collision when loading
    
CHANGES IN VERSION 1.16.2
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fix error: "Error in if (maxP > -minP) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed"
      that appeared occasionally during runGSA for method gsea. This happened when the
      running sum was only positive or only negative, leading to that the if-statement
      broke due to missing values.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.16.1
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fix biomaRt Rchunk in vignette to avoid build error

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.14.5
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Reset plot layout after networkPlot.
    
    o Issue warning instead of error in writeFilesForKiwi when gene-level statistics
      are not p-values. This means that the GLS file will not be generated, but the 
      GSS and GSC files are.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.14.3
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Required functions from the snow package, used by snowfall, are now properly loaded.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.14
-----------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Added new GSA method fgsea (fast GSEA) from the fgsea package.

    o Added max method as an option in consensusScores().

IMPROVEMENTS [credits to Alexey Sergushichev]

    o Updated the p-value calculation (while using gene permutation) from:
         sum(background >= value) / length(background)
      to:
         (sum(background >= value) + 1) / (length(background) + 1)
      where bakground is a vector of permuted gene-set statistics and value
      is the actual calculated gene-set statistic. This change avoids returning
      p-values = 0, instead the theoretically smallest possible p-value will be
      determined by the number of permutations used. E.g. for nPerm = 10000,
      the smallest p-value will be 1 / 10001 = 9.999e-05.

    o Improved speed of checkLoadArg().

    o Improved speed of gene-set statistic calculation for GSEA in calcGeneSetStat().

    o Improved speed of FDR calculation for GSEA in fdrGSEA().
    
BUG FIXES

    o Updated NAMESPACE to load dependencies in a better way.
    
    o Updated the parsing of sbml files in loadGSC().
    
    o Updated networkPlot() to conform to changes in the igraph package.

      only a single gene set.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.4.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Added argument plot to consensusHeatmap() so that drawing the heatmap can
      be suppressed but the corresponding numerical matrix can be saved.

    o Added argument cellnote to consensusHeatmap() so that the information inside
      each cell of the heatmap can be chosen to be either the consensus scores (as
      previously), the median p-values, the number of genes or empty.

    o Added a matrix nGenesMat to the output of consensusHeatmap() containing the
      same information as printed in the heatmap if argument cellnote="nGenes".

    o Added arguments columnnames, colorkey, colorgrad and cex to consensusHeatmap() 
      for better control of the column labels, toggling of the colorkey, color 
      selection and text size.

    o Introduced the new function GSAheatmap(), which is similar to consensusHeatmap()
      but for only a single gene set result (gsaRes object).

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed a bug which for some settings of runGSA would not output number of up-
      and downregulated genes in the gene sets.

DOCUMENTATION

    o Updated consensusHeatmap() man page according to new changes in the function.

    o Added man page for GSAheatmap().

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2.7
-------------------------

      high number (e.g. Inf) to easily include all gene sets.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2.6
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed bug in loadMAdata() that removed duplicate entries in the annotation in 
      an incorrect way.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2.5
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed bug in diffExp() that returned incorrect gene IDs for $pValues and 
      $foldChanges if and only if annotation was previously supplied to loadMAdata() 
      AND the probeset IDs in the normalized data ($dataNorm) were unsorted. The 
      $resTable is unnaffected.

      message is given.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Added argument ncpus to runGSA(). Enables parts of this function to run in 
      parallel, thus decreasing runtime. Requires R package snowfall.

    o Added function runGSAhyper() to perform gene set analysis using Fisher's exact test,
      as an alternative to runGSA.

    o Added information about genes in each area of the Venn diagram in the output
      of diffExp().

    o Added volcano plot as optional output of diffExp() and added argument volcanoFC.

    o Added argument ncharLabel to networkPlot() and consensusHeatmap() to control the 
      length of the labels in the plots and add the option to not truncate them.

    o Added the yeast metabolic model iTO977 to be loaded with loadGSC(), for detecting 
      reporter metabolites using gene set analysis. (See vignette.)

    o Added support for running networkPlot() on objects returned by runGSAhyper().

      circles. Also updated the corresponding man page.

DOCUMENTATION

      plotrix v3.4-6.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Now part of Bioconductor.

    o Removed the arguments 'venn', 'heatmap' and 'polarPlot' from diffExp and 
      replaced them with a new argument: 'plot'.

      man pages.

    o Changed name of folder for example data from exampleData to extdata, and 
      updated man pages and vignette.

      run, instead of total number of unique genes.

DOCUMENTATION

    o Added citation DOI to vignette.

    o Updated the man page for consensusScores, added correct output description.

    o Updated the Description field text in the DESCRIPTION file.

    o Updated the loadMAdata function to use the justPlier function from package 
      plier, instead of a modified version.

    o Removed internal function justPlierSpec.
