Changes in version 0.5.0                        

  - links to updated rice and rintcal packages
  - strat now calculates the 95% ranges correctly (the upper range had a
    bug making it calculate the 47.5% quantile instead of 97.5%)

                 Changes in version 0.4.3 (2024-12-06)                  

  - further corrections regarding a bug in the Vignette.

                        Changes in version 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.

                 Changes in version 0.4.1 (2024-09-25)                  

  - further separation of the 'rice' and 'rintcal' packages within
    'coffee'
  - added a function 'strat.cleanup()' to remove previous runs

                 Changes in version 0.4.0 (2024-09-04)                  

  - now linking to both the 'rice' and 'rintcal' packages
  - updated how gaps in strats are plotted

                 Changes in version 0.3.0 (2024-01-29)                  

  - updated the vignette
  - added functions scissors and thinner for manipulation of MCMC output
  - enhanced strat code so it runs around 40% faster
  - previous strat runs can now be reloaded (using run=FALSE)
  - files are now read and written to faster (using fread, fwrite)
  - strat iterations can either be loaded into memory or written to
    files
  - added fit measure (and also offset for rings)

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2023-07-14)                  

  - now links to the rintcal package (renamed from IntCal)
  - the strat function now handles undated levels, blocks of dates, and
    different types of gaps (of exactly known length, or according to a
    normal or gamma distribution)

                 Changes in version 0.1.1 (2021-08-21)                  

  - added references to the methods to the DESCRIPTION file
  - replaced all instances of cat() with message()
  - the original par settings are now saved if the function is exited

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

  - this is the first CRAN iteration of the coffee package
