Changes in version 1.1.3                        

  - Roll back some experimental TMB changes (moved to SparseNUTS
    package)

  - Remove GHA checks

  - Redo the pkgdown site

  - This is likely the last formal release with no plans to update the
    CRAN version

                 Changes in version 1.1.2 (2021-03-02)                  

  - Improve console output for RStudio users. Was broken for NUTS chains
    and in serial.

  - Add new argument 'verbose' which suppresses almost all console
    output when set to FALSE

  - Update demo file, vignette and README in preparation for submission
    to CRAN

  - Add new function plot_uncertainties

  - Expand continuous testing

  - Add slot 'par_names' to objects of type adfit

                        Changes in version 1.1.1                        

  - Add slot for par_names to adfit objects

  - Add method as.data.frame for class adfit

  - Improved and expanded testing via continuous integration

  - Print the ADMB command to console when it fails to run properly to
    help user diagnose issues

  - Improve console output for RStudio users. It will now print at
    conclusion of parallel runs.

  - Fix bugs in model names for MacOS (use ./model instead of model
    internally)

  - Fix small bug with mceval=TRUE for newest version of stock synthesis

  - Fix sample_tmb to work again for short-term use

                        Changes in version 1.1.0                        

  - Change from sample_admb to sample_nuts and sample_rwm to run the
    NUTS and RWM algorithms, respectively.

  - Rework metric options to allow user to access ADMB 12.2's new dense
    mass matrix adaptation scheme. Added new section demonstrating this
    in the vignette.

  - Add more control to via 'skip_monitor', 'skip_unbounded', and
    'skip_optimization' arguments

  - Remove TMB references from documentation and vignette, instead
    pointing users to package 'tmbstan', and collate deprecated R code
    into a single file

  - Migrate to new github repo: github.com/Cole-Monnahan-NOAA per NOAA's
    policy

  - Add testing via testthat package

  - Turn on calculation of ESS and Rhat manually, which get used in
    subsequent functions

  - Created S3 class 'adfit' and generic methods print, summary, and
    plot

  - Updated pairs_admb to have an 'order' argument for quickly plotting
    slow/fast parameters

  - Add new function plot_marginals for quickly plotting posterior
    histograms

  - Add new function plot_sampler_params to plot NUTS sampling

  - Make parallel the default and deprecate the 'parallel' argument.

  - Fix bug in parallel path which failed when it was absolute. Now can
    be relative or absolute.

  - Add check for valid version of ADMB

  - Minor bug fixes and documentation updates

  - Improve error handling and testing routines

                 Changes in version 1.0.1 (2019-04-04)                  

  - Update ADMB algorithms to use "-maxfn 0 -phase 1000" instead of
    "-noest". This helps with Stock Synthesis and likely other models
    where some initialization is skipped with -noest which can lead to
    unusual and undesirable behavior. Also changed behavior with
    inits=NULL to pull MLE values from the admodel.hes file instead of
    pulling from the .par file for inits. This fixes some models when
    negative phases are used.

  - Add function check_identifiable which examines a .hes file and
    reports which parameters are not well identified.

  - Add function sample_inits to generate inits from a previous fitted
    object.

  - Read in MLE values from the .hes file when inits=NULL, instead of
    from the .par file.

  - Add informative errors for common issues.

  - Minor bug fixes and updates.

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2018-02-08)                  

Initial release.
