  model may depend on covariates associated with the design.
  Methods for this class include print, plot, predict, anova and so on.

  o objsurf
  An object of class 'objsurf' contains values of the likelihood 
  or objective function in a neighbourhood of the maximum.

   Point patterns and pixel image covariates, in two groups
   with different regression coefficients.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o plot.hyperframe
   The argument 'e' now has a different format.
   Instead of plot(h, plot(XYZ)) one must now type plot(h, quote(plot(XYZ)))

   Spotted by Jens Oehschlaegel. 
   Bug was introduced in spatstat 1.34-1. 
   Fixed.

   o rVarGamma
   Simulations were incorrect; they were generated using the wrong value
   of the parameter 'nu.ker'. Spotted by Rasmus Waagepetersen and
   Abdollah Jalilian. Bug was always present.		    
   Fixed.
   
   o pair correlation functions (pcf.ppp, pcfdot, pcfcross, pcfinhom, ...)
   The result had a negative bias at the maximum 'r' value,
   because contributions to the pcf estimate from interpoint distances
   greater than max(r) were mistakenly omitted. 
   Spotted by Rasmus Waagepetersen and Abdollah Jalilian. 
   Bug was always present.
   Fixed.

   o demo(spatstat)
   This demonstration script had some unwanted side-effects, such as
   rescaling the coordinates of standard datasets 'bramblecanes', 
   'amacrine' and 'demopat', which caused the demonstration to crash 
   when it was repeated several times, and caused errors in demo(data).
   Fixed.

   o rmh
   Visual debugger crashed sometimes with message 'XI not found'.
   Fixed.

   o predict.ppm
   Crashed if the model was fitted using 'covfunargs'.
   Fixed.

   o bounding.box

   Fixed.

	CHANGES IN spatstat VERSION 1.34-0

   Spatstat now uses the package 'polyclip' for polygon calculations instead.

   o free open-source licence
   The restrictive licence conditions of 'gpclib' no longer apply 
   to users of spatstat. Spatstat and all its dependencies are now
   covered by a free open-source licence.

   o polygon clipping
   In previous versions of spatstat, geometrical calculations
   on polygons could be performed 'exactly' using gpclib
   or 'approximately' using pixel discretisation. 
   Polygon calculations are now always performed 'exactly'.
   
   o intersect.owin, union.owin, setminus.owin
   If A and B are polygons, the result is a polygon.

   o erosion, dilation, opening, closing

   Fixed.

   o distcdf
   Results were incorrect in some cases
   when W was a window and V was a point pattern.
   Fixed.

   o Kcross, Kdot, pcfcross, pcfdot
   Results were incorrect in some rare cases.
   Fixed.

	CHANGES IN spatstat VERSION 1.33-0

OVERVIEW

   o We thank Kurt Hornik and Brian Ripley for advice.

   o The package namespace has been modified.

   o Numerous internal changes.

   o Likelihood cross-validation for smoothing bandwidth.

   o More flexible models of intensity in cluster/Cox processes.

   o New generic function for smoothing.

   o Version nickname: 'Titanic Deckchair'

NEW FUNCTIONS

    o bw.ppl
    Likelihood cross-validation technique 
    for bandwidth selection in kernel smoothing.

    o is.lppm, is.kppm, is.slrm
    Tests whether an object is of class 'lppm', 'kppm' or 'slrm'

    o Smooth
    New generic function for spatial smoothing.

    Methods for Smooth
    (identical to smooth.ppp, smooth.fv, smooth.msr respectively)

    o fitted.kppm
    Method for 'fitted' for cluster/Cox models

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

    o namespace
    The namespace of the spatstat package has been changed.

    o internal functions
    Some undocumented internal functions are no longer visible,
    as they are no longer exported in the namespace. These functions
    can still be accessed using the form spatstat:::functionname.
    Functions that are not visible are not guaranteed to exist 
    or to remain the same in future. 

    o methods
    For some generic functions defined in the spatstat package,
    it is possible that R may fail to find one of the methods
    for the generic. This is a temporary problem due to a restriction
    on the size of the namespace in R 3.0.1. It will be fixed in 
    future versions of R and spatstat. It only applies to methods
    for a generic which is a spatstat function (such as nndist)
    and does not apply to methods for generics defined elsewhere
    (such as density). In the meantime, if this problem should occur, 
    it can be avoided by calling the method explicitly, in the form
    spatstat:::genericname.classname.

    o speed
    The package should run slightly faster overall, due to the
    improvement of the namespace, and changes to internal code.

    o envelope
    New argument 'envir.simul' determines the environment
    in which to evaluate the expression 'simulate'.

    o kppm
    More flexible models of the intensity, and greater control over the
    intensity fitting procedure, are now possible using the arguments
    'covfunargs', 'use.gam', 'nd', 'eps' passed to ppm.
    Also the argument 'X' may now be a quadrature scheme.

    o distcdf
    Arguments W and V can now be point patterns.

    o Kest
    New option: correction = "good" 
    selects the best edge correction that can be computed in reasonable time.

    o bw.diggle
    Accelerated.

    o predict.ppm
    Calculation of standard error has been accelerated.

    o smooth.ppp, smooth.fv, smooth.msr
    These functions will soon be 'Deprecated' in favour of
    the methods Smooth.ppp, Smooth.fv, Smooth.msr respectively.

    o stratrand, overlap.owin, update.slrm, edge.Trans, edge.Ripley
    These already-existing functions are now documented.

BUG FIXES

    o kppm, matclust.estpcf, pcfmodel
    The pair correlation function of the Matern Cluster Process
    was evaluated incorrectly at distances close to 0.
    This could have affected the fitted parameters 
    in matclust.estpcf() or kppm(clusters="MatClust").
    Fixed.

    o anova.ppm
    Would cause an error in future versions of R
    when 'anova.glm' is removed from the namespace.
    Fixed.

   If the grid spacing parameter 'eps' was specified,
   the quadrature scheme was sometimes slightly incorrect
   (missing a few dummy points near the window boundary).
   Fixed.

     for contributions.

   o Improvements to 3D summary functions.

   o A multidimensional point pattern (ppx) can now have 'local' coordinates
   as well as spatial and temporal coordinates and marks.

   Fits the stationary Strauss point process model
   using an exact maximum pseudolikelihood technique.
   This is mainly intended for technical investigation of algorithms.

   o split.ppx

   This also works for point patterns on a linear network (class 'lpp').

   o model.images
   This function is now generic, with methods for classes ppm, kppm, lppm

   o model.frame, model.matrix
   These generic functions now have methods for classes kppm, lppm

   o as.owin.kppm, as.owin.lppm
   New methods for 'as.owin' for objects of class kppm, lppm

   o ppx
   Arguments have changed.
   
   o class 'lpp'
   The internal format of lpp objects has been extended
   (but is backward-compatible). Many computations run faster.

   and is now controlled by the argument 'sphere'.

   o rmh, rmhstart
   The initial state ('start') can now be missing or null.

   The pixel coordinates in an image object are now generated
   more accurately. This avoids a numerical error in plot.im.

   o eval.fv, eval.fasp
   Evaluation is now applied only to columns that contain
   values of the function itself (rather than values of the
   derivative, hazard rate, etc). This is controlled by the
   new argument 'dotonly'.

   "useRaster=TRUE can only be used with a regular grid."
   This was due to numerical rounding effects on the coordinates
   of a pixel image. 
   Fixed.
   
   o plot.fv
   If a formula was used to specify the plot,
   the names of variables in the formula were sometimes
   incorrectly matched to *functions*.
   Spotted by Farzaneh Safavimanesh.
   Fixed.

   o F3est
   Took a very long time if the containing box was very flat,
   due to the default value of 'vside'.
   Fixed.

   An erroneous warning about 'outdated format of rmhmodel object' 
   sometimes occurred.
   Fixed.

   o plot.fv
   Collisions between the legend box and the graphics are now detected
   and avoided.

   simulation using 'rmh', then print(x) and summary(x) show 
   information about the simulation parameters.

   and confidence intervals for the parameters,
   can now be printed for all Gibbs models 
   (but are printed only for Poisson models by default).

   Output improved.

BUG FIXES

   o linearK, linearKinhom
   If any data points were located exactly at a vertex of the 
   linear network, the weights for Ang's correction were incorrect, 
   due to numerical error. This sometimes produced infinite 
   or NA values of the linear K function.
   Fixed.
   
   o predict.ppm
   In some cases, predict.ppm(type="cif") generated a spurious warning 
   that "number of rows of result is not a multiple of vector length."
   Fixed.

   o crossing.psp
   Results were sometimes incorrect due to numerical rounding error
   associated with GCC bug #323.
   Fixed.

   o MultiHard, MultiStrauss, MultiStraussHard
   If the mark values contained non-alphanumeric characters,
   the names of the interaction coefficients in coef(ppm(...)) 
   were sometimes garbled.
   Fixed.

   o profilepl
   For edge corrections other than the border correction,
   an error message about 'rbord' would sometimes occur.
   Fixed.

	CHANGES IN spatstat VERSION 1.26-0

OVERVIEW 

   o We thank Jens Oehlschlaegel for contributions.

   o Further substantial acceleration of spatstat functions.

   o Numerous modifications to internal code.

NEW FUNCTIONS

   o RandomFieldsSafe
   There is a bug in the package 'RandomFields' (version <= 2.0.54)
   which causes a crash to occur, in the development version of R
   but not in R 2.15.0. To avoid crashing spatstat, we have written
   the temporary, undocumented function RandomFieldsSafe() 
   which returns TRUE if it is safe to use the RandomFields package.
   Examples in the spatstat help files for kppm, lgcp.estK, lgcp.estpcf
   and rLGCP are only executed if RandomFieldsSafe() returns TRUE.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o Many functions
   Many spatstat functions now run faster, and will handle larger datasets,
   thanks to improvements in the internal code, 
   following suggestions from Jens Oehlschlaegel.

   o Kest
   Now includes fast algorithm for 'correction="none"'
   which will handle patterns containing millions of points.

BUG FIXES

   o Kest, Lest
   Gave incorrect values in very large datasets, due to numerical overflow.
   `Very large' typically means about 1 million points in a random pattern, 
   or 100,000 points in a tightly clustered pattern.
   [Overflow cannot occur unless there are at least 46,341 points.]
   [Spotted by Sergiy Protsiv.]
   Fixed.

   o Kest, Lest
   Ignored 'ratio=TRUE' if the argument 'domain' was given.
   [Spotted by Jonathan Lee.]

   [Spotted by Daniel Esser.]
   Fixed.

   o as.im.owin
   Did not handle a binary mask with a 1 x 1 pixel array.
   Fixed.

   o predict.slrm
   Results of predict(object, newdata) were incorrect 
   if the spatial domain of 'newdata' was larger than the original domain.
   Fixed.

   o ppm
   If the model was the uniform Poisson process,
   the argument 'rbord' was ignored.
   Fixed.

   o image subset assignment "[<-.im"
   Generated an error if the indexing argument 'i' 
   was a point pattern containing zero points.
   Fixed.

   o hyperframe subset assignment "[<-.hyperframe"

   of the hyperframe was to be changed.
   Fixed.
   
   o help(bw.relrisk), help(rmh.ppm), help(plot.plotppm)
   These help files had the side-effect of changing some options
   in spatstat.options.
   Fixed.

     and is guaranteed to be the maximum pseudolikelihood fit.

   o plot.im
     Now handles many arguments recognised by plot.default
     such as 'cex.main'. Also handles argument 'box'.
     New argument 'ribargs' contains parameters controlling the

   o ppm
     Slightly accelerated.

BUG FIXES

   o nncross, distfun, AreaInter
     Results of nncross were possibly incorrect 
     when X and Y did not have the same window. 
     This bug affected values of 'distfun' and may also 
     have affected ppm objects with interaction 'AreaInter'.
     [Spotted by Thierry Onkelinx]
     Bug introduced in spatstat 1.9-4 (June 2006).
     Fixed.

   o rCauchy
     Simulations were incorrect in the sense that 
     the value of 'omega' was inadvertently doubled 
     (i.e. omega was incorrectly replaced by 2 * omega).
     Bug introduced in spatstat 1.25-0.
     Fixed.

   o plot.im
     White lines were present in the image display, on some graphics devices,
     due to changes in R 2.14.

   o data in spatstat is now lazy-loaded

   o bug fixes 

NEW FUNCTIONS

   o Triplets
   Geyer's triplet interaction, for point process models

   o coef.summary.ppm
   New method coef.summary.ppm
   You can now type 'coef(summary(fit))' to extract a table
   of the fitted coefficients of the point process model 'fit'

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o data in spatstat are now lazy-loaded
   so you don't have to type data(amacrine), etc.

   o rmh.default, rmh.ppm, simulate.ppm
   These now handle the 'triplets' interaction
   
   o fryplot
   Now has arguments 'to' and 'from', allowing 
   selection of a subset of points.

   o fryplot, frypoints
   These functions now handle marked point patterns properly.

   o Kcross, Kdot, Kmulti
   New argument 'ratio' determines whether the numerator and denominator
   of the estimate of the multitype K-function will be stored. 
   This enables analysis of replicated point patterns, 
   using 'pool.rat()' to pool the K function estimates.

   o rmh.ppm, simulate.ppm, default.expand
   For point process models which have a trend depending only on x and y,
   the simulation window is now taken to be the same as the original 
   window containing the data (by default). 
   That is, `expansion' does not take place, by default.
   (In previous versions of spatstat the simulation window was larger
   than the original data window.)
   
   o rmh.ppm, simulate.ppm
   The argument sequence for these functions has changed.
   New argument 'expand' allows more explicit control over simulation domain.

   o Kcom, Gcom
   New argument 'conditional' gives more explicit control
   over choice of edge correction in compensator.
   Simplified defaults for edge correction.

    o   envelope.pp3: simulation envelopes for 3D point patterns

    o   npoints: number of points in a point pattern of any kind

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

    o   rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm:
    	It is now possible to simulate Gibbs point process models
	that are fitted to multitype point patterns using a
	non-multitype interaction, e.g.
	     data(amacrine)
	     fit <- ppm(amacrine, ~marks, Strauss(0.1))
	     rmh(fit, ...)

    o   rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm, rmh.default, rmhmodel.default:
    	Hard core models can be simulated.

    o	rmh.default, rmhmodel.default:
   	The argument 'par' is now required to be a list, in all cases
	(previously it was sometimes a list and sometimes a vector).

    o   Fest:
        Calculation has been accelerated in some cases.

    o   summary.pp3 now returns an object of class 'summary.pp3'
    	containing useful summary information. It is plotted by
	'plot.summary.pp3'.

    o   F3est, G3est, K3est: these functions now accept 
        'correction="best"' 

    o   union.owin, intersect.owin: 
    	these functions now handle any number of windows.

    o   envelope.ppp, envelope.ppm, envelope.kppm: 
        argument lists have changed slightly

BUG FIXES

    o   Fest: The result of Fest(X, correction="rs") had a slightly
    	corrupted format, so that envelope(X, Fest, correction="rs")
	in fact computed the envelopes based on the "km" correction.
	(Spotted by Ege Rubak).
	Fixed.

    o   rmh (rmh.ppm, rmhmodel.ppm):
	rmh sometimes failed for non-stationary point process models,
	with a message about "missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed".
	(Spotted by Andrew Bevan).
	Fixed.

    o   diagnose.ppm, lurking:
        Calculations were not always correct if the model
	had conditional intensity equal to zero at some locations.
	Fixed.

    o   ppm, profilepl:
        If data points are illegal under the model (i.e. if any
        data points have conditional intensity equal to zero)
        the log pseudolikelihood should be -Inf but was sometimes
	returned as a finite value. Thus profilepl did not always 
	work correctly for models with a hard core.
	Fixed.

    o   F3est, G3est: 
    	Debug messages were printed unnecessarily.
	Fixed.

HEADLINES

    o   A point pattern is now allowed to have a data frame of marks
        (previously the marks had to be a vector).

NEW FUNCTIONS

    o	pixellate.psp,  as.mask.psp
    	Convert a line segment pattern to a pixel image or binary mask

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

    o   A point pattern is now allowed to have a data frame of marks
        (previously the marks had to be a vector).

        a data frame of marks. 
	These include print.ppp, summary.ppp, plot.ppp, split.ppp.

    o   finpines, nbfires, shapley:
        The format of these datasets has changed. 
        They are now point patterns with a data frame of marks.
