-# PlackettLuce 0.2
+# PlackettLuce 0.2-1
+
+## New features
+
+* Add **pkgdown** site.
+* Add content to README (fixes #5).
+* Add `plot.PlackettLuce` method so that plotting works for a saved 
+`"PlackettLuce"` object
+
+## Improvements
+
+* Improved vignette, particularly example based on `beans` data (which has been
+updated).
+* Improved help files particularly `?PlackettLuce` and new 
+`package?PlackettLuce`. (Fixes #14 and #21).
+
+## Changes in behaviour
+
+* `maxit` defaults to 500 in `PlackettLuce`.
+* Steffensen acceleration only applied in iterations where it will increase the 
+log-likelihood (still only attempted once iterations have reached a solution 
+that is "close enough" as specified by `steffensen` argument).
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* `coef.pltree()` now respects `log = TRUE` argument (fixes #19).
+* Fix bug causes lack of convergence with iterative scaling plus 
+pseudo-rankings.
+* `[.grouped_rankings]` now works for replicated indices.
+
+# PlackettLuce 0.2-0

+## Comments
+
+On Mac/Ubuntu, R CMD check only returns note that this is a new submission.
+
+On Windows, R CMD check returns the same note in the log, however in the 
+terminal there is the following warning:
+
+   * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Warning: running command '"pandoc
+" "C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce\README.md
+" -s --email-obfuscation=references --self-contained -o "C:\Users\hturner
+\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpyQZw3Z\READMEcf025d05abf.html"' had status 99
+
+The warning seems to be due to pandoc not finding image files in `man/figures`.
+I could successfully run the pandoc command by either changing directory to
+"C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce" and calling 
+pandoc on "README.md", or adding `--resource-path
+"C:\Users\hturner\PlackettLuce.Rcheck\00_pkg_src\PlackettLuce` to the call shown
+in the warning.
