  1.4.0 New Features

  Manual Rotation

• [x] there are two functions q.mrot.do and q.mrot.choose
• [x] there are plenty of plotting options, many of them slow, but informative
• [x] in the future, for better graphics #172 or drag-drop #176, maybe spin out to separate package #265 because there is no good manual rotation package for R for any factor analysis.
• [x] flipping aka inverting is not an issue #268
• [x] re-ordering #273 #263 was an issue, required reorder = FALSE, can be improved later by taking more from psych::principal #274

Let's go over them :smile:

  • [x] just need the rest of the release stuff #121, especially proof-reading
• [ ](max will do the actual merging later).
