v0.4.2

Package v0.4.2

Introduction of Function Classes

• This version introduces classes to each of the main function outputs (antcolony.lavaan == "antcolony", simulatedAnnealing == "simulatedAnnealing", tabuShortForm == "tabu")
• This will allow for plot and print methods for each of these functions

Broken functionality: antcolony_plot

• The function antcolony_plot was replaced with plot.antcolony (aka, a plot method)

New functionality: S3 method for plotting

• With the addition of classes, a plot method and accompanying documentation has been added.
• Future updates will expand S3 methods for print() and summary()

Bugfixes

• Bugfixes to the main functions when using them to create shortforms of bifactor models.
• They should now produce actual bifactor shortforms (in v0.4.1, sometimes the item names would be cut off in later iterations [FIXED] and the relationship between latent variables would be changed when they should have been kept constant [FIXED]).

Added a package loading message

• Now, when using an interactive R session, a package message is printed out (with a little Penguin holding it all up)!
