Changes in version 1.2.1 (2026-04-14)                  

IMPROVEMENTS

  - trs_plot_dated() gains a new x_breaks argument to control x-axis
    tick intervals
  - trs_plot_dated() now handles non-syntactic column names safely using
    make.names()
  - improved y-axis scaling and plot appearance for trs_plot_dated()
  - fix for trs_crossdate() so it behaves correctly when top_n is
    activated

BUG FIXES

  - read_fh() now safely handles non-UTF-8 characters by normalizing
    input with iconv()

DOCUMENTATION

  - added recent scientific publications citing the companion paper to
    the package
  - removed non-ASCII characters from function documentation

                 Changes in version 1.2.0 (2025-06-30)                  

NEW FEATURES

A new set of functions for tree-ring dating, analysis, and visualization
(trs_*)

  - Data generation and preparation: trs_pseudo_rwl(): Generate
    synthetic tree-ring datasets for testing and method development
    trs_select(): Select specific series from tree-ring data
    trs_remove(): Remove series from tree-ring datasets trs_trim():
    Remove leading and trailing NA's in tree-ring datasets or single
    series

  - Crossdating analysis: trs_crossdate(): Comprehensive crossdating
    analysis with multiple statistical measures trs_date_end(): Set end
    dates for tree-ring series based on crossdating results trs_tho():
    Calculate t-values according to the Hollstein (1980) transformation
    trs_tbp(): Calculate t-values according to the Baillie & Pilcher
    (1973) transformation trs_pv(): Calculate percentage of parallel
    variation including SGC, SSGC, and Gleichläufigkeit, with
    significance levels trs_tSt(): Calculate correlation measures
    (Pearson r and t-values)

  - Visualization: trs_plot_dated(): Display crossdating results with
    highlighting of parallel variation trs_plot_rwl(): Plot individual
    tree-ring series with customizable colors and styling

Enhanced workflow integration

Tree-ring analysis functions now seamlessly integrate with existing
felling date estimation (sw_* functions) Complete dendroarchaeological
workflow from data processing through crossdating to felling date
estimation Support for both synthetic data generation and real
dendrochronological datasets

NEW DATASET

  - Weitz_2025: New sapwood model for the Brussels region (Belgium)
    based on Weitz et al. (2025)

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2025-06-05)                  

  - Fixes to ensure that a user-defined sapwood dataset can be used with
    all relevant functions (fd_report(), sw_combine() and sw_sum().
  - Extra checks on the input (e.g. check_input(),
    check_duplicate_labels() and check_sapwood_data_user(). These
    additional functions have been added to 'helper-functions.R' and
    integrated into fd_report(), sw_combine() and sw_sum().
  - The example data sets for testing sw_combine() and sw_sum() and
    fd_report() have been renamed from trs_example(1 to 7) to
    sw_example(1 to 7).

                 Changes in version 1.0.3 (2025-05-24)                  

  - fix to fd_report() to allow user-defined sw_data.

                 Changes in version 1.0.2 (2024-05-22)
