v0.22-0 (2011-12-08)

o documentation updated
o slight changes in vignette 'DEnss.Rnw' (to reduce time
to build package)

v0.21-5 (2011-12-01)

o fixed: in 'GAopt', optional arguments for 'mclapply'
(multicore) were not passed. An example for passing an
argument was added to file 'unitTests/multicore.R'.
o documentation for 'GAopt' updated
o code examples in subdirectory 'NMOFex' updated

v0.21-4 (2011-11-29)

o 'GAopt' now has an argument 'algo$methodOF' that supports
'loop' (default) but also 'snow' or 'multicore'. See
'Examples and Extensions for the NMOF package'(with code
in subdirectory 'NMOFex') for an example.
o vignette 'TAportfolio' updated (now with example for
rank-deficient matrix)

v0.21-3 (2011-11-25)

o fixed: 'gridSearch' with 'printDetail=TRUE' did not give
a meaningful message
o experimental: 'GAopt' now has an argument 'algo$methodOF'
that can be 'loop' (default) but also 'snow' or 'multicore'
(currently, only 'snow' is operational). If 'algo$methodOF'
is not 'loop', the evaluation of the objective function will
be distributed. See 'Examples and Extensions for the NMOF
package'(with code in subdirectory 'NMOFex') for an example.

v0.21-2 (2011-11-22)

o fixed: with 'printDetail' greater than zero, 'TAopt' did
not print the best solution, but the current solution
(but internal book keeping worked correctly, and the best
solution was returned)
o 'bracketing', 'gridSearch', 'restartOpt': when 'cl' argument
is not NULL, then argument 'method' is set to 'snow' (but as
before it is checked whether package 'snow' is available)
o the latest pdf-version of 'Examples and Extensions
for the NMOF package' is now available from
http://enricoschumann.net/files/NMOFex.pdf
o code examples in subdirectory 'NMOFex' updated

v0.21-1 (2011-11-15)

o the 'printDetail' option for opt-functions is now more consistent:
a positive integer 'i' greater than one means that information
is printed at every 'i'th iteration
o minor changes in vignettes
o unit tests for 'callCF' added (in file 'unitTests/unitTests5.R')
