biometryassist 1.2.1 (2024-06-05)

The new summary_graph() function was accidentally left out of the CRAN submission.

Introduced the summary_graph() (#75) and heat_map() (#19) functions
Enabled arbitrary row, column, block and treatment columns to be provided in the autoplot.design() function, to enable more general plotting of designs. (#28)

Implemented the ability to plot designs with buffer plots. (#68)
Changed install_asreml() to check if there is a later version before downloading.
Enabled non-standard evaluation input of column names in autoplot.design().

Better checking of column names in data provided to multiple_comparisons() to prevent breaking. (#53)
Updated install_asreml() to work with ARM chip macOS devices. (#54)
Wrote a vignette with instructions for installing ASReml-R. (#55)
Fixed variogram to enable it to work with dsum models (i.e. MET models). (#61)

Fixed a bug introduced due to a change in names by predictmeans(). (#50)
Added a check for missing ar1() component in variogram(). (#49)
Added an error check for terms provided in the wrong order to multiple_comparisons() via classify. (#48)
Checked if model needs the present argument passed to predict.asreml(). (#41)

multiple_comparisons() now accepts power transformations and automatically back-transforms. It gains a new argument power to provide the transformation power applied in the model to undo. This enables more general Box-Cox transformations. (#36)
multiple_comparisons() no longer produces an error when the trans argument is supplied and offset is not. It now produces a warning and sets offset to 0 when not provided. (#37)
Added an option to turn off the start up message and version check. Add options(biometryassist.check = FALSE) to your .Rprofile file to disable. Partially fixes #6.
Enabled new colour-blind friendly palettes (#39)

Updated the required version of rlang (>=1.0.0)
Fixed a bug that didn't allow labels and the x axis to be rotated independently for autoplot.mct() (#35)
Fixed an issue where treatment columns were not determined correctly in multiple_comparisons() (#33)
Fixed a problem with variograms displaying grey values where NAs have been produced. (#24 and #25)
Fixed some warnings that would be introduced with the forthcoming version of ggplot2 (#42)

multiple_comparisons() no longer requires calls to predict.asreml() to be passed into the function, as the predicted values are now calculated internally. Additional arguments can be passed to predict.asreml() via the ... argument. (#27)

The order argument of multiple_comparisons() has been deprecated in favour of a new argument descending. This takes logical (TRUE or FALSE) values only, so default is no longer possible as it was producing incorrect results. (#8)
resplt() has been deprecated in favour of resplot() and will be removed in a future version (#20).
Warnings about lack of convergence are no longer output in logl_test(). (#17)

Aliased levels are printed properly in multiple_comparisons() now. (#14)
R.param and G.param are removed from the asreml() call on resplot() if not explicitly provided. (#21)
Fixed a bug where install_asreml() would not work on macOS Monterey. (#16)
