EpiContactTrace 0.10.0 (2017-01-27)

IMPROVEMENTS

• Added the 'maxDistance' argument to the 'Trace' method to stop contact tracing at 'maxDistance' (inclusive) from the root node. Default is ‘NULL’ i.e. to not use the 'maxDistance' stop criteria.

EpiContactTrace 0.9.1 (2015-07-03)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed build failure on the Solaris platform.

EpiContactTrace 0.9.0 (2015-07-02)

CHANGES

• Removed Animate method to pass the CRAN checks. Install version 0.8.8 manually from the archive if that method is required. See section 6.3 in 'R Installation and Administration' on how to install packages from source.

• Removed dependencies to plyr, R2HTML and Rcpp.

• Removed usage of testthat when testing the package.

• Removed list methods for ContactTrace objects. When calculating measures for several roots, the purpose is to use methods that work directly on the data.frame with movements.

• Updated maintainer email

• Changed 'Title' field in DESCRIPTION to title case

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved performance when calculating ShortestPaths on a data.frame of movements.

EpiContactTrace 0.8.8 (2013-11-05)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed failing test case 'Duplicate movements'

• Fixed NOTE not importing 'methods' from R CMD check

EpiContactTrace 0.8.7

NOTE

• Changed argument representation to slots in setClass for the two S4 classes ContactTrace and Contacts. The package now requires R>=3.0.0

EpiContactTrace 0.8.6 (2013-09-01)

NOTE

• Plots are not supported in version 0.8.6 since igraph0 has been archived. We intend to resolve the issue in a future version. Install version 0.8.5 and igraph0 manually from the archive if plots are required. See section 6.3 in 'R Installation and Administration' on how to install packages from source.

EpiContactTrace 0.8.5 (2013-07-19)

NEW FEATURES

• Updated DESCRIPTION to use Imports instead of Depends for igraph0, plyr, R2HTML.

EpiContactTrace 0.8.3

NEW FEATURES

• inDays and outDays now returned as integer from NetworkSummary of a ContactTrace object.

• Added 'all' to interval argument in Animate to view visualize all movements in one image. The default interval argument was changed to 'all'.

BUGFIX

• Fixed a bug that was introduced in ver 0.7.6 when performing contact tracing.

EpiContactTrace 0.8.2

BUGFIX

• Fixed a bug that was introduced in ver 0.7.6 when calculating IngoingContactChain and OutgoingContactChain using NetworkSummary.
