-------------------------
New Functions:
- New roman2int() function to convert roman numerals to integers
without the range restriction of utils::as.roman().

characters. (Based on the 'Data Debrief' blog entry for 2011-03-09
at http://datadebrief.blogspot.com/2011/03/ascii-code-table-in-r.html).

suppressWarnings() outside of lapply loops. (Suggestion by Henrik
Bengtsson.)
- The 'q' argument to quantcut() now accept an integer
indicating the number of equally spaced quantile groups to
create. (Suggestion and patch submitted by Ryan C. Thompson.)
Bug fixes:
- Removed stray browser() call in smartbind().

-------------------------
Bug fixes:
- smartbind() now converts all non-atomic type columns (except factor)
to type character instead of generating an opaque error message.

representation by escaping them as \x00 or \u0000 codes.
Contributed by Arni Magnusson.
gtools 3.3.1 - 2014-03-01
-------------------------
Bug fixes:
- 'mixedorder' (and hence 'mixedsort') not properly handling
single-character strings between numbers, so that '1a2' was being
handled as a single string rather than being properly handled as
c('1', 'a', '2').
gtools 3.3.0 - 2014-02-11
-------------------------
New features:
- Add the getDependencies() function to return a list of dependencies
for the specified package(s). Includes arguments to control whether
these dependencies should be constructed using information from
locally installed packages ('installed', default is TRUE), available
CRAN packages ('available', default is TRUE) and whether to include
base ('base', default=FALSE) and recommended ('recommended', default
is FALSE) packages.
Bug fixes:
- binsearch() was returning the wrong endpoint & value when the found
value was at the upper endpoint.
gtools 3.2.1 - 2014-01-13
-------------------------
Bug fixes:
- Resolve circular dependency with gdata
gtools 3.2.0 - 2014-01-11
-------------------------
New features:
- The keywords() function now accepts a function or function name as
an argument and will return the list of keywords associated with the
named function.
- New function stars.pval() which will generate p-value significance
symbols ('***', '**', etc.)
Bug fixes:
- R/mixedsort.R: mixedorder() was failing to correctly handle numbers
including decimals due to a faulty regular expression.
Other changes:
- capture() and sprint() are now defunct.
gtools 3.1.1 - 2013-11-06
-------------------------
Bug fixes:
- Fix problem with mixedorder/mixedsort when there is zero or one
elements in the argument vector.
gtools 3.1.0 - 2013-09-22
-------------------------
Major changes:
- The function 'addLast()' (deprecated since gtools 3.0.0) is no
longer available, and has been marked defunct.
Bug fixes:
- Modified 'mixedorder()' to use Use 'suppressWarnings() instead of
'options(warn=-1)'. This will avoid egregious warning messages when
called from within a nested environment, such as when run from
within 'knitr'
gtools 3.0.0 - 2013-07-06
-------------------------
Major changes:
- The function 'addLast()' has been deprecated because it directly
manipulates the global environment, which is expressly prohibited by
the CRAN policies.
- A new function, 'lastAdd()' has been created to replace 'addLast()'.
The name has been changed because the two functions require
different syntax. 'addLast()' was used like this:
byeWorld <- function() cat("\nGoodbye World!\n")
addLast(byeWorld)
The new 'lastAdd()' function is used like this:
byeWorld <- function() cat("\nGoodbye World!\n")
.Last <- lastAdd(byeWorld)
Bug fixes:
- Update checkRVersion() to work with R version 3.0.0 and later.
Other changes:
- Remove cross-reference to (obsolete?) `moc` package
- The function 'assert()' (deprecated since gtools 2.5.0) is no longer
available and has been marked defunct.

-------------------------
Bug fixes:
- smartbind() was not properly handling factor columns when the first
data frame did not include the relevant column.
gtools 2.7.0 - 2012-06-19
-------------------------
New features:
- smartbind() has a new 'sep' argument to allow specification of the
character(s) used to separate components of constructed column names
- smartbind() has a new 'verbose' argument to provide details on how
columns are being processed
Bug fixes:
- smartbind() has been enhanced to improve handling of factor and
ordered factor columns.
