coffee 0.4.2

• draw.strat now plots gaps better when using BCAD
• labels can be plotted in draw.strat (not done by default)
• strat runs now write a file ending in _ages.txt, containing the age estimates (95% ranges, means, medians, modes) into the site's folder, and if gaps were modelled, another file ending in _gaps.txt with the same estimates for the gap sizes.
• new function MCMCrings to calculate both age estimates and age offsets for a C14-dated tree.
• corrected a bug in the Vignette.
