RELEASE HISTORY OF THE "MALDIquant" PACKAGE
===========================================


CHANGES IN MALDIquant VERSION 1.9 [2014-01-14]:
-----------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* Add `alignSpectra`: a wrapper around `detectPeaks`,
  `determineWarpingFunctions` and `warpMassSpectra` to provide an easier
  workflow.

IMPROVEMENTS

* `filterPeaks`: introduce "mergeWhitelists" argument to additionally keep peaks
  that occur at least in one group. The default behaviour does not changed.
  Please see the man page of `filterPeaks` for details.
* `intensityMatrix`: add "spectra" argument to allow interpolation of missing
  peaks if corresponding spectra is given.
* Replace some `lapply` calls by `mapply` to allow different
  "halfWindowSize" arguments etc.;
  affected methods: `smoothIntensity`, `removeBaseline`, `detectPeaks`.

MODIFICATIONS

* `filterPeaks`: "minFrequency" > 1 and "minNumber" > n is not set
  to 1 or n anymore; only a warning about "empty peak whitelists" is given;
  see also issue #26.
* `filterPeaks`: replace warning about too large "minFrequency" or "minNumber"
  by a warning about "empty peak whitelists".
* `intensityMatrix`: rename first argument to "peaks"
* demo/workflow.R: introduce `alignSpectra`.
* demo/warping.R: adapt to current preferred workflow.
* demo/peaks.R: add smoothing and a few new plots.

DEPRECATED ARGUMENTS/FUNCTIONS

- `intensityMatrix` for MassSpectrum objects.

DEFUNCT ARGUMENTS/FUNCTIONS

* `isMassObject`/`isMassObjectList`: use `isMassSpectrum`, `isMassPeaks`,
  `isMassSpectrumList` or `isMassPeaksList` instead.

CHANGES IN MALDIquant VERSION 1.8 [2013-09-08]:
-----------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* Add `smoothIntensity`: to apply smoothing filters. Supports
  "SavitzkyGolay" and "MovingAverage". `savitzkyGolay` and `movingAverage`
  are now marked as deprecated.
* Add `calibrateIntensity`: to calibrate/normalize intensity values.
  Supports "TIC", "median" and "PQN" calibration/normalization.
  It replaces three similar functions with
  different names: `totalIonCurrent<-`, `standardizeTotalIonCurrent`,
  `calibrate` (these three are marked as deprecated and will be removed in
  future releases).
* Add `averageMassSpectra`: supports "mean", "median" and "sum" aggregation of
  spectra. It replaces `mergeMassSpectra`.
* Add C implementation of colMedians for faster averaging/merging of
  MassSpectrum/MassPeaks objects.
* Add LongVector support; now MALDIquant depends on R >= 3.0.0.

MODIFICATIONS

* MassSpectrum/MassPeaks class: change representation of slots mass, intensity,
  snr to "numeric" (was "vector" before). Should not affect anything. Maybe you
  have to reimport raw data and resave RData files.
* `trim`: replace "minMass" and "maxMass" arguments by new "range" argument.
* `transformIntensity`: add "method" argument (supports "sqrt", "log", "log2",
  "log10"). "fun" argument is deprecated.
* `estimateBaseline`/`removeBaseline`: rename argument method="Median" to
  method="median".
* `determineWarpingFunctions`: add "method" argument (supports "lowess",
  "linear", "quadratic", "cubic"); "warpingFunctions" argument is deprecated.
* `mergeMassPeaks`: add "method" (supports "mean", "median", "sum") argument;
  "fun" argument is deprecated.

DEPRECATED ARGUMENTS/FUNCTIONS

* `isMassObject`/`isMassObjectList`: use `isMassSpectrum`, `isMassPeaks`,
  `isMassSpectrumList` or `isMassPeaksList` instead.
* `totalIonCurrent,MassPeaks-method`: TIC of peaks is meaningless.
* `totalIonCurrent<-,MassSpectrum-method`:
  use `calibrateIntensity(..., method="TIC")` instead to calibrate/normalize
  MassSpectrum objects.
* `standardizeTotalIonCurrent`:
  use `calibrateIntensity(..., method="TIC")` instead to calibrate/normalize
  MassSpectrum objects.
* `calibrate`:
  use `calibrateIntensity(..., method="TIC")` instead to calibrate/normalize
  MassSpectrum objects.
* `ltrim`/`rtrim`: use `trim(..., range=c(min, max))` instead.
* `determineWarpingFunctions`, argument "warpingFunction": use "method" argument
  instead.
* `mergeMassPeaks`, argument "fun": use "method" argument instead.
* `mergeMassSpectra`: use `averageMassSpectra`.
* `savitzkyGolay`: use `smoothIntensity(..., method="SavitzkyGolay")` instead.
* `movingAverage`: use `smoothIntensity(..., method="MovingAverage")` instead.
* `transformIntensity`, argument "fun": use "method" argument instead.
* `removeBaseline`, argument "fun": use "method" argument instead.
* `detectPeaks`, argument "fun": use "method" argument instead.

REMOVED FUNCTIONS

* `iplot`: because it throws NOTEs on CRAN's R CMD check and the most
  important function `grDevices::getGraphicEvents` behaves
  different on Unix/Windows platform (some keys don't working) and contains some
  nasty bugs, e.g.: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15208
  Also the "zoom" R package provides similar functionality.

BUG FIXES

* `totalIonCurrent`: fix calculation by estimating the integral; fixes #29.
  affected functions: `totalIonCurrent`,
    `calibrateIntensity(..., method="TIC")`.
* `filterPeaks`: reduce minNumber to length(l) to avoid complete removal
  of peaks; fixes #26.
* src/snip.c: fix some segmention faults because of a missing
  PROTECT for "duplicate" call.
  affected functions: `estimateBasline/removeBaseline(..., method="SNIP")`
- Add `import("methods")` to NAMESPACE (fixes #36).

INTERNAL CHANGES

* Remove internal `imputeMass`.
* Remove internal `.replaceNonEmptyMassObjects`.
* `approxfun`: returns NA for empty MassSpectrum objects.
* `[` (subset method): little speed up by calling `which` to evaluate logical
  expressions only once.
* Use integer values where possible.
* Modify C written functions to support LongVectors; closes #13;
  now MALDIquant depends on R >= 3.0.0.


CHANGES IN MALDIquant VERSION 1.7 [2013-05-23]:
-----------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* Add `isRegular` method to test MassSpectrum objects for regular increasing
  mass values/intervals; closes #23.
* Add `savitzkyGolay`, Savitzky-Golay Smoothing Filter.
* Add memory usage to `show` output.
* `iplot`: add horizontal distance measurement (using left mouse clicks).
* `filterPeaks`: add "minNumber" argument to allow an absolute threshold for
  filtering; closes #21.
* demo/workflow.R: add raw data check.

IMPROVEMENTS

* demo/workflow.R: replace moving average smoother by Savitzky-Golay-Filter.
* `.estimateBaselineSnip`: support decreasing/increasing clipping window;
  controlled by new argument "decreasing"; use a decreasing window per default
  to get a smoother baseline; (use decreasing=FALSE to get the old behaviour).
* `isEmpty`: treat spectra with only zeros as intensity values as empty ones.
* `movingAverage`: left/right extrema now calculated for 0:windowSize and
  (n-windowSize+1):n (before they were set to NA).

BUG FIXES

* `filterPeaks`: doesn't round (floor) minFrequency argument anymore; led to
  unexpected results; fixes #22.
* `mergeMassSpectra`: empty MassSpectrum objects are ignored now
  (but if all objects are empty `mergeMassSpectra` will return an empty
  MassSpectrum object, too); fixes #20.
* `.mergeMetaData`: fix merging of lists with different lengths; fixes #17.
  affected functions: `mergeMassPeaks`, `mergeMassSpectra`.
* `.doByLabels: preserve order of non-factor labels; fixes #19;
  affected functions: `filterPeaks`, `mergeMassPeaks`, `mergeMassSpectra`.
* `totalIonCurrent`/`isEmpty`: fix integer overflow; fixes #25.
* `totalIonCurrent<-`: fix handling of empty spectra; fixes #15.
* Remove LICENSE file.

INTERNAL CHANGES

* Replace all `paste(..., sep="")` calls by `paste0`;
  now MALDIquant depends on R >= 2.15.

  lowest one); affected functions: `labelPeaks`.
* `.doByLabels`: fix an error that occurred if all labels were unique
  (fixes #1); affected functions: `filterPeaks`, `mergeMassPeaks`,
  `mergeMassSpectra`.
* `estimateBaseline(..., method="Median")`: do not allow a window size > n
  (fixes #4).


CHANGES IN MALDIquant VERSION 1.5 [2012-12-06]:
-----------------------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

* Add `movingAverage`.
