CRAN release #4

Closed jarioksa closed 8 years ago

jarioksa commented 8 years ago

I'm planning to release current vegan3d to CRAN. I had scheduled to release vegan3d together with vegan 2.3-1, but the idea grew stale during the delayed acceptance of vegan. Here some main news for this new release:

The previous versions were called 0.65-x, because these functions were last updated for the old rgl 0.65 release, and they don't use the new higher-level functions of later rgl. However, now I think I'll release this as 0.66-0 because we have new functions. This is the first completely new function in vegan3d since May 2008, or since May 2012 if we also count envfit.convert as a separate function.

I used longer time to work with this than I had planned originally. I had a look at the rgl after a long time, and found it is amazing. As a simple thing, I added orglellipse function that is a 3D counterpart to ordiellipse and draws SE, SD or confidence ellipses. I also edited documentation, and made all rgl examples run in interactive sessions. I added some links to WebGL pages in the README.md and you may use these to have a look at the new things before you try with the package. I probably submit this to CRAN early next week, and probably with higher version number than 0.66-0, perhaps 0.70-0 or 0.90-0 or even as 1.0-0.

I got more ambitious than I anticipated: I'm going to have 1.0-0 release, but this will take still some time.

Closed with the CRAN release of version 1.0-0.
