Changes in version 1.4.4                        

    o   Fixes a minor bug in the NEWS file.

                        Changes in version 1.4.3                        

    o   Bug Fix: Fix dittoFreqPlot() calculation machinery to properly
	target all cell types and only necessary groupings for every
	sample. Removes the 'retain.factor.levels' input because proper
	calculations treat 'var'-data as a factor, and groupings data
	as non-factor.

                        Changes in version 1.4.2                        

    o   Bug Fix: Make 'do.label' machinery robust to NAs.

    o   Bug Fix: Allows dittoHeatmap() to properly 'drop_levels' of
	annotations by ensuring 'annotation_colors' will not be
	populated with colors for the empty levels that need to be
	dropped.

                        Changes in version 1.4.1                        

    o   Build & Test Infrastructure Fix/Update: Removes the remaining
	Seurat code from the vignette and makes all unit-testing of
	Seurat interactions conditional on SCE to Seurat conversion.

    o   Vignette Update: Adds a 'Quick-Reference: Seurat<=>dittoSeq'
	section

    o   Documentation Update: 'metaLevels()'

                         Changes in version 1.4                         

    o   Added 1 new Visualization function: 'dittoFreqPlot()'.

    o   Added interaction with 'rowData' of SE and SCEs via a
	'swap.rownames' input, e.g. to simplify provision of 'var's via
	symbols vs IDs.

    o   Improved & expanded 'split.by' capabilities by: 1- adding them
	to 'dittoBarPlot()', 'dittoDotPlot()', and
	'dittoPlotVarsAcrossGroups()'; 2- adding 'split.adjust' input
	to all functions for passing adjudstments to underlying
	'facet_grid()' and 'facet_wrap()' calls; 3- adding
	'split.show.all.others' input to 'dittoDimPlot()' and
	'dittoScatterPlot()' to allow the full spectrum of points,
	rather than just points excluded with 'cells.use', to be shown
	as light gray in the background of all facets; 4- Bug fix:
	splitting now works with labeling of Dim/Scatter plots, with
	label position calculated per facet, and without affecting
	facet order.

    o   Improved 'dittoPlot()'-plotting engine (also effects
	'dittoPlotVarsAcrossGroups()', and 'dittoFreqPlot()') by: for
	y-axis plotting, 1- extended geom dodging to also work on
	jitters when 'color.by' is used to add subgroupings & 2- added
	a 'boxplot.lineweight' control option; for x-axis / ridge
	plotting, 1- added an alternative histogram-shaping option (Try
	'ridgeplot.shape = "hist"') & 2- improved use of white space
	via a new 'ridgeplot.ymax.expansion' input.

    o   Standardized output logic so that 'do.hover = TRUE' will lead
	to plotly conversion even when 'data.out = TRUE'.

    o   'dittoHeatmap()': 'order.by' can also now accept multiple
	gene/metadata names to order by & bug fix: when given an
	integer vector, that vector will be used directly to set the
	order of heatmap columns.

    o   'dittoBarPlot()': grouping & 'var' order control improved via
	addition of a 'retain.factor.levels' input.

                         Changes in version 1.2                         

    o   Added 3 New Visualization Functions, 'dittoDotPlot()',
	'dittoDimHex()' & 'dittoScatterHex()'.

    o   Expanded SummarizedExperiment compatibility across the entire
	toolset.

    o   Added ComplexHeatmap integration to 'dittoHeatmap()',
	controlled by a new input, 'complex'.

    o   Added Rasterization for improved image editor compatibility of
	complex plots. (See the dedicated section in the vignette for
	details.)

    o   Added 'labels.split.by' input & 'do.contour', 'contour.color',
	and 'contour.linetype' inputs to scatter/dim-plots.

    o   Added 'order' input to scatter/dim-plots for control of
	plotting order.

    o   Added 'metas' input for displaying such data with
	'dittoHeatmap()'.

    o   Added 'adjustment' input to 'meta()', which works exactly as in
	'gene()' (but this is not yet implemented within data grab of
	visualiation functions).

    o   Added 'adj.fxn' input to 'meta()' aand 'gene()' for added
	control of how data might be adjusted (but this is not yet
	implemented within data grab of visualiation functions).

    o   Replaced (deprecated) 'highlight.genes' input with
	'highlight.features' in 'dittoHeatmap()'.

    o   Replaced (deprecated) 'OUT.List' input with 'list.out' for all
	'multi_*' plotters.

                        Changes in version 1.0.0                        

    o   Submitted to Bioconductor.
