          arguments.

	- removed some obselete lines of C code.

Version 0.16.0: 2010-10-25

	- fixed Rd files

	- bug fixes


Version 0.15.0: 2010-08-06

	  for a unuran object.

	- ud(): first argument has been renamed from 'distr' to 'obj'.
	  argument 'obj' can also be a generator object.

	- pinv.new(): when no 'center' is provided by the user, or
	  when the PDF vanishes or is not finite for the given 'center',
	  then the method tries to "guess" an appropriate
	  point for the 'center'.

        - special functions (like gamma function) are now taken from
	  the Rmath library.


Version 0.14.0: 2010-04-29

	- new argument 'smooth' for function pinv.new().

	- method PINV (pinv.new and pinvd.new) is now more robust 
          for distributions with "rough" PDFs (e.g. those created by

	  'return.list'. If 'return.list=TRUE' then the function returns
	  a list that contains some of the data.

	- some improved error messages

	- fixed bug that caused unuran.details() to hang


Version 0.11.0: 2009-11-17

	- method 'r' is defunct. 
	  Please use (the identical but faster function) 'ur'.

	- new functions for creating S4 distribution objects for
	  special distributions:        

          continuous distributions:
	    udbeta        ... beta
	    udcauchy      ... Cauchy
	    udchi         ... chi
	    udchisq       ... chi-squared
	    udexp         ... exponential
	    udf           ... F
	    udfrechet     ... Frechet
	    udgamma       ... gamma
	    udghyp        ... generalized hyperbolic
	    udgig         ... generalized inverse Gaussian
	    udgumbel      ... Gumbel
	    udhyperbolic  ... hyperbolic
	    udig          ... inverse Gaussian
	    udlaplace     ... Laplace
	    udlnorm       ... log normal
	    udlogis       ... logistic
	    udlomax       ... lomax
	    udnorm        ... normal
	    udpareto      ... Pareto
	    udpowerexp    ... powerexponential
	    udrayleigh    ... Rayleigh
	    udslash       ... Slash
	    udt           ... Student's t
	    udweibull     ... Weibull

          discrete distributions:
	    udbinom       ... binomial
	    udgeom        ... geometric
	    udhyper       ... hypergeometric
	    udlogarithmic ... logarithmic
	    udnbinom      ... negative binomial
	    udpois        ... Poisson

	- deprecated functions are defunct.
	  Please replace 

            uqhinv         by uq

            unuran.cmv     by unuran.cmv.new
	    unuran.cont    by unuran.cont.new
	    unuran.discr   by unuran.discr.new

            urhitro(n,...) by ur(hitro.new(...),n)
            urtdr(n,...)   by ur(tdr.new(...),n)


Version 0.10.1: 2009-08-06

	- bugfix: pinv.new() now also works for R versions compiled with 
          SunStudio compiler.


Version 0.10: 2009-06-22

	- new function 'unuran.packed' for packing 'unuran' objects.
          When packed, all information are stored as R lists and allows
	  handling of 'unuran' objects just as ordinary R objects, in
	  particular they can then saved and restored in future R sessions,
	  and they can be copied to other nodes in parallel computing.

	- uq() now also supports method 'DGT' (for discrete distributions).


Version 0.9: 2009-02-26

	- IMPORTANT:

	  Paramters 'lb' and 'ub' (lower and upper bound of domain)
	  do not have default values any more and are obligatory in
	  all functions with these arguments. Thus thee following
	  functions have been changed:

	   o Continuous distributions:
                unuran.cont.new
	        ars.new
	        itdr.new
	        pinv.new
	        srou.new
	        tdr.new
	     If R stops when calling these functions with the error
             message "domain ('lb','ub') missing", then one has to add
             the formerly defaults "lb=-Inf" and/or "ub=Inf" for the
             missing arguments.

	   o Discrete distributions:
	        unuran.discr.new
	        dari.new
	     If R stops when calling these functions with the error
             message "domain ('lb','ub') missing", then one has to add
	     the formerly defaults "lb=0" and "ub=Inf" for the missing
             arguments.

	  We observed a possible pitfall with the former interface.
	  When a user wanted to draw a sample from a distribution with
	  positive domain but forgot to set "lb=0" then it was
	  possible that the generator (silently!) did not work as
	  expected and caused invalid simulation results.
	  Forcing to set the domain reduces this risk.
	  Thus we decided to stay on the safe side.

	  We appologize for this inconvenience.

	- fixed syntax errors and inconsistent formating in Rd files.


Version 0.8: 2008-11-26

        - reorganized functions into three groups:

          * Runuran-Distribution:
            easy-to-use sampling algorithms for particular
            distributions.

	  * Runuran-Universal:
	    interface to a carefully selected collection of UNU.RAN
	    methods with their most important variants.

	  * Runuran-Advanced:
            wrapper to the UNU.RAN string API.

        - improved documentation,
          added vignette

	- new function uq() for computing quantiles approximately.

        - new functions for directly creating generator objects 
          for selected UNU.RAN methods:
    	    ars.new()
	    dari.new()
	    dau.new()
	    dgt.new()
	    hitro.new()
	    itdr.new()
	    pinv.new()
	    srou.new()
	    tdr.new()
	    vnrou.new()

        - new functions for creating UNU.RAN distribution 
          objects: 

  	    unuran.cmv.new(...)    replaces  unuran.cmv()
	    unuran.cont.new(...)   replaces  unuran.cont()
	    unuran.discr.new(...)  replaces  unuran.discr()

          Remark: The default for argument 'islog' has been changed to 
          'islog=FALSE'.

	- deprecated functions:
	     uqhinv()
             urdau()
	     urdgt()	
	     urhitro()
	     urtdr()

        - contains UNU.RAN version 1.3.0


Version 0.7: 2008-04-21

	- print() now shows some information about a generator
          object.

	- new function unuran.details() for printing detailed 
	  information about a generator object.

	- new function uqhinv() for compting quantiles approximately
	  using UNU.RAN method 'HINV'.


Version 0.6: 2007-12-10

        - added slots for a rectangular domain and the center 
          (point in main region of distribution) for multivariate 
          distribution class 'distr.cmv'.

        - new method 'MVTDR' in UNU.RAN.

        - fixed broken optional arguments in routines urtdr() and
          urhitro().

            (The optional arguments were not passed to the given
            density function in contradiction to the help page of
	    these routines.)


Version 0.5: 2007-08-01

	- added S4 classes for distribution objects:

	    This allows to define distributions by means of
	    R functions instead of using the UNU.RAN string API
	    (which is still supported).

	- added support for multivariate distributions.

	- added routine 'urtdr'.


Version 0.4: 2007-05-16

        - First public release.
