Changes in version 0.1.9 (2026-05-29)                  

Fixes:

  - Added a note in the help page of the broadcaster class regarding
    possibly incompatible functions (#4).
  - Fixed the "nand" operator to be correctly defined as !(x & y), and
    bypasses the low-level 'C++' short-circuit evaluation issues.

New operators:

  - Added new Boolean & bit-wise operation: "nor", defined as !(x | y)
  - Added new string operation: "lcss" (longest common sub-string).

Other:

  - Slight performance improvement for integer relational operations.

                 Changes in version 0.1.8 (2026-02-20)                  

  - Slightly relaxed the behaviour for NAs/NaNs for the + and -
    operators involving complex numbers.
  - Streamlined some internal code here and there.
  - Changed the internal code to avoid the false-positive issue message
    in 'Rchk'.
  - Built the package with the recently updated version of 'Rcpp'.
  - Added the checkNULL() and checkNA() methods.
  - Added a new linear algebra function for statistics: ecumprob().

                 Changes in version 0.1.7 (2025-12-14)                  

Consistency fixes:

  - In bc.b(), in the case of a result with length zero:
    the result will be of type "raw" if both x and y are raw, and
    logical otherwise
    (until now, the result was always logical, which is not consistent
    with the regular case).
  - In bc.d():
    the d==, d!= etc. operators now also accept the case where both x
    and y are integer or logical.
  - Most methods and operators now also preserve the comment attribute.

Other changes:

  - Added more examples in the reference manual.
  - Added more tests.
  - Fixed several linguistic errors in the help page of
    cast_shallow2atomic().

                Changes in version 0.1.6.1 (2025-11-09)                 

  - Replaced all uses of abs()/fabs() with std::abs() in the internal
    source code.

                        Changes in version 0.1.6                        

  - Bug fix: There was a bug in acast(), where it would, under certain
    circumstances, incorrectly specify dimnames to the output, leading
    to an error. This is now fixed.
  - Small speed improvement for nearly all operations.
  - The acast() method now allows unequal groups even when x is of type
    raw.
  - Added the cast_shallow2atomic() casting method.
  - The cast_hier2dim() method can now set dimnames automatically by
    specifying the new direction.names argument.
  - Added the bc_strrep() method.
  - Added the vector2array() and undim() helper functions.
  - Added bcr as short-hand for broadcaster.
  - Added mbroadcasters().
  - If one of the input arrays in bind_array() is a broadcaster, then
    the result will also be a broadcaster.
  - Added more tests.

                Changes in version 0.1.5.3 (2025-10-10)                 

  - Replaced abs function with labs function when using long integers in
    src/rcpp_bcFact_int.

                       Changes in version 0.1.5.2                       

  - Reduced the installation time and size of the compiled library, with
    almost no performance loss.

                 Changes in version 0.1.5 (2025-10-02)                  

Update of first CRAN release.

Argument Changes:

The recurse_classed argument in the casting methods has been replaced
with the recurse_all argument.
Before, the argument recurse_classed controlled if the casting methods
recurse through classed lists.
Now, recurse_all, controls if the casting methods recurse through
classed and/or dimensional lists.

Moreover, the S3 methods in this package now check for unknown arguments
given through the ellipsis (...).

Behavioural Changes:

  - The as_* functions now also preserve the broadcaster class
    attribute.
  - If both x and y in the bc.b() method are of type raw, bc.b() will
    return type of raw.

New Methods:

  - Added the hiernames2dimnames() method, to make it easier to compose
    dimnames for the result of cast_hier2dim().

Documentation Improvements:

  - Added on-attach package start-up message.
  - Fixed some spelling errors that went under the radar.
  - Fixed some inconsistent usage of Title Case in the titles of the
    help pages.
  - Shortened the main help page.
  - Fixed some "See Also" sections in some of the help pages.
  - Improved the "Examples" sections in some of the help pages.

More tests:

  - Added and adapted the unit tests for the above changes.
  - Re-ran the unit tests coverage report shown on the website.
