rplum 0.5.2

• it is now an error if no radium measurements are provided (ra.case=0) and n.supp is set to 0

rplum 0.5.1 (2024-09-29)

• further measures to link to the new 'rice' package (and not 'rintcal')

rplum 0.5.0 (2024-09-07)

• save.ages has been renamed to save.elbowages (for consistency with rbacon)
• 'olderthan' and 'youngerthan' ages can now be used (only non-210Pb)
• now links to the new 'rice' package
• if there are 7 or fewer data points, a warning will be provided (instead of an obscure error). This has to do with there being a need for at least 4 datapoints to estimate background levels.

rplum 0.4.0 (2023-12-01)

• repaired a bug which crashed the session if cc=4 was specified
• renamed ccdir to cc.dir
• youngest.age and date.sample now work more robustly
• rplum now requires at least rbacon's version 3.2.0 (corrects bugs with postbomb dates and with the naming of cc.dir)
• renamed the options MinAge and MaxAge to the hopefully less confusing youngest.age and oldest.age

rplum 0.3.0 (2022-12-23)

• now uses the renamed rintcal package instead of the IntCal package
• any non-210Pb dates are now drawn in more predictable colours
• in case of hiatuses, plots are now done as expected
• tail measurements are now dealt with better (no extrapolation beyond reasonable territory)
• information is provided on ballpark accumulation rates and how they compare to the prior settings
• If the depths in the dets file appear not be the bottom depths of the slices, this now results in an error

rplum 0.2.2 (2021-06-02)

• removed closeAllConnections() option as requested by CRAN
• if there is only one date in otherdates (e.g., a historical Cs peak), acc.rate isn't set to overly low values any more
• added a function to estimate how many iterations will be run and returned

rplum 0.2.1 (2021-05-15)

• further separation of rbacon and rplum
• added LL14, a core with Pb-210, radon and C14 dates (core kindly provided by Dr Lysanna Anderson, USGS)
• many sundry bug fixes related mainly to plotting

rplum 0.2.0 (2021-04-17)

• now depends on the rbacon c++ code instead of carrying a duplicate of the code. Same for many of rbacon's internal functions for plotting etc.
• now depends on IntCal package for radiocarbon calibration curves
• now only calculates the age-depth model for Pb data that are above background level
• enhanced how to take into account different scenarios with radon.case and n.supp

rplum 0.1.5.1 (2020-08-11)

• removed vignettes as they threw errors which made the package unacceptable by CRAN

rplum 0.1.5

• updated to the latest radiocarbon calibration curves IntCal20
• repaired a bug with plotting when using BCAD=TRUE
• reduced sizes of files of example cores
• removed inset option for now as it caused many post-plotting issues

rplum 0.1.4 (2020-05-04)

• clarified author names
• replaced cat() by message() or warning() where possible
• lots of minor bug fixes related to plotting and post-run analysis

rplum 0.1.3

• added single quotes to package names as requested by CRAN maintainer
• further clarified copyright statements

rplum 0.1.2

• clarified copyright statements

rplum 0.1

• first version of the 'rplum' package, developed from 'pyplum' at https://github.com/maquinolopez
