Release 1.24.0
  + QuantStudio (LifeTechnologies) output files are now supported
  + All packages that were 'depended on' are not explicitly 'imported from'. This has the effect that scripts depending on ddCt may explicitly load libraries (such as RColorBrewer and Biobase) to use functions therein.
  + ColMap is now simplied to contain only three slots: Sample, Detector, and Ct.
  + Class 'CSVReader' is now renamed into 'TSVReader' since it supports rather tab-delimited file, instead of comma-separated file
  + A direct way to convert a data.frame to a InputFrame object is documented. See 'example(InputFrame)'.

Release 1.3.1
Changes:
    + Add RT-PCR-Script-ddCt.Rnw as an executive script for RT-PCR analysis
    + Expose getDir method

Release 0.99.9 (Rudi)
Changes:
    + (r42686) Add classes "InputFrame","InputReader","SDMReader", "CSVReader" and "ColMap" Not documented nor tested yet, therefore internal for now.
    + (r42686) remove classes "SDMFrame" Not documented nor tested yet, therefore internal for now.
    + (r42686) function "SDMFrame" is now Deprecated
    + (r42686) function "readSDM" is now Defunct
    + Modify the errBarchart method to support lattice either conditional on the samples or the detectors
    + Change out-dated documents (on-going)

Release 0.99.9 (not finished yet, David)
Changes:
    + (r42509) Add methods "replaceDetector", "replaceSample", "removeSample", "removeDetector". Not documented nor tested yet, therefore internal for now. 
    + (r42528) 'replaceDetector', 'replaceSample', 'removeSample' and 'removeDetector' have been thoroughly tested and documented

Release 0.99.8 (2009-10-02, David)
API Changes:
    + Add function 'writeSimpleTabCsv' for both human-reader and machine friendly reporting of tables.

Release 0.99.7 (2009-09-04, David)
API Changes
    + Add Class 'errBarchartParameter' to organize errBarchart parameters.

Release 0.99.6 (2009-09-04, Rudolf)
API Changes
    + replaced hardcoded label 'NA' for undetectable values with 'ND'

Release 0.99.5 (2009-08-12)
API Changes
    + '[' method of 'SDMFrame' objcet returns an object of SDMFrame with the data subset (formly it returns the data.frame)
    + '[' method does not raise warnings any more by dropping the index parameter names
    + 'Ct' has now a method for the 'SDMFrame' object, returns a vector of Ct values in the SDMframe core data.
    + 'SDMFrame' object can be converted to data.frame by 'as.data.frame' (S3 method)
Internal Changes:
    + 'ddCtExec' is modified to adapt to the API changes.
Documentation:
    + The above changes have been reflected in the documentation
Bug Fixes:
    + The 'ddCtErrBarchart' method checks whether all the expression values are 'NA', if so it stops execution.

Release 0.99.4 (2009-08-06)
Documentation
    + Vignette uses 'verbatim' instead of 'listings' package to show script codes, since the Windows server of Bioconductor does not install the package.

Release 0.99.3 (2009-08-04)
New feature
    + 'rightCensoring' method is added. It performs the right censoring of the
    Ct value and sets those values above a given threshold as NA or other given
    value 
API Changes
    + 'coreData' and 'coreData<-' methods are exported now for the SDMFrame-class

Release 0.99.2 (2009-08-04)
API Changes
    + 'withoutPath' slot is removed from the 'SDMFrame' class.
Bug Fixes
    + 'warningStream' parameter is really passed in the 'ddCtExpression'
    function. This parameter was neglected in the older version.
