     and known general problems.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:


        1.  'hemisphere': An argument has been added called 'filename',
           with default value '"temp.ps"', giving the name of the
           postscript file. (February 2003)

        2.  Function 'time.plot' has been renamed to 'timeplot' to stop
           confusion with methods and generic functions. (June 2003)

        3.  'hemisphere': Argument 'filename' has been deleted. The
           plot is now written to the current device or a new window is
           opened. (June 2003)

        4.  'rotation': Argument 'psname' has been deleted. The plot is
           now written to the current device or a new window is opened.
           (June 2003)

        5.  'epicentres': Argument 'mapname' has been added. (July
           2003)

        6.  'epicentres.identify': Default on argument 'mapname' has
           been changed to '"world.lores"'. (July 2003)

        7.  'epicentres.identify': Changed example in documentation.
           (October 2003)

        8.  'world.lores' data object renamed to 'worldLores' and
           implemented as '.R' form in 'data/' directory rather than
           creating '.rda' file at install time. (October 2003)

        9.  'world.lores' map name in 'epicentres.identify' renamed to
           'world' to match 'maps_2.0-2'. (October 2003)

        10.  'epicentres': default value of argument 'mapname' changed
           from 'world2.lores' to 'world2' to match 'maps_2.0-2'.
           (November 2003)

        11.  'epicentres.identify': default value of argument 'mapname'
           changed from 'world' to 'world2'. (November 2003)

        12.  Minor documentation formatting changes, mainly to use
           '\dQuote' and '\pkg'. (January 2004)

        13.  'map1': New function. (February 2004)

        14.  'epicentres': now calls 'map1' to plot map. Is now plotted
           to the current device, not necessarily a postscript file.
           Colours are now not defined using the current palette, but
           explicitly using character strings. (February 2004)

        15.  'worldLores', 'hemisphere': Examples modified to make
           plotting region square. (February 2004)

        16.  'timeplot', 'depth.hist': 'ylim' extended so that tallest
           bar doesn't touch upper box boundary. (February 2004)

        17.  'texps1': has been deleted. (February 2004)

        18.  'magnitude.contour', 'bvalue.contour': Examples added, now
           plotted to current device rather than a postscript file.
           (February 2004)

        19.  'depth.hist', 'freq.cusum', 'magnitude.cusum',
           'magnitude.time', 'multigraph', 'plot.subset', 'timeplot':
           The statement 'if(length(dev.list()) == 0) X11()' has been
           removed, was required in S-PLUS. (February 2004)

        20.  'epicentres': Depth ranges added as a footnote in example
           plots. (February 2004)

        21.  'map1': calls the function 'map', whose argument 'color'
           has been changed to 'col'. (February 2004)

        22.  'rotation': x-axis label changed to make use of degree
           symbol. (March 2004)

        23.  'bvalue.contour', 'magnitude.contour': map added to
           example plot. (March 2004)

        24.  'worldLores': quotes added around package name in code,
           i.e. '"ssEDA"'. (7 May 2004)

        25.  'epicentres': function default values in arguments
           'magnitude' and 'depth' changed from using '1/0' to 'Inf'.
           (7 May 2004)

        26.  'threeD': a statement 'require(xgobi)' has been added to
           the code. This requirement is then no longer a "package"
           requirement. (7 May 2004)

        27.  A statement 'require(ssNZ)' has been added to the examples
           that use the NZ catalogue. Hence 'ssNZ' is no longer a
           "package" requirement of 'ssEDA'. (18 May 2004)

        28.  'epicentres': code modified so that argument 'events' can
           again be a catalogue. (9 Apr 2005)

        29.  'epicentres': 'expression' statement in examples with
           subtitle containing multiple inequalities changed to make
           syntactically compatible with recent R updates. (16 Apr
           2005)

        30.  'epicentres': Reference to 'postscript' graphics device
           eliminated from manual page. (21 Apr 2005)

        31.  'worldLores': now implemented directly as a 'data()' call,
           rather than via 'delay()', which has been deprecated. (9 Jun
           2005)

        32.  'freq.cusum': replace 'seq(begin, finish + 1) - 1900' with
           'formatC((seq(begin, finish + 1))%%100, width=2, flag="0")'.
           (22 Dec 2005)

        33.  'magnitude.cusum': replace 'at.breaks - 1900' with
           'formatC(at.breaks%%100, width=2, flag="0")'. (22 Dec 2005)

        34.  Package vignettes added. (22 Dec 2005)

        35.  Fix error in package vignettes. (04 May 2006)

        36.  'depth.hist', 'timeplot', 'freq.magnitude': removed
           redundant arguments in call to 'hist' when 'plot==FALSE'.
           Caused warning messages. (30 Jan 2007)

        37.  'major': new page containing a listing of major earthquake
           events. (14 May 2007)

        38.  The 'if require(catalogue)' syntax in all examples has

        39.  The 'DESCRIPTION' file has the following added: 'Suggests:
           xgobi, mapdata, ssNZ, ssPDE, ssSCEC'. (05 Jul 2007)

        40.  All occurences of 'subset.circle', 'subset.polygon',
           'subset.rect', 'subset.sphere' in the Examples have been
           changed to 'subsetcircle', 'subsetpolygon', 'subsetrect',
           'subsetsphere'. See Changes in 'ssBase'. (8 Nov 2007)

        41.  'threeD': modified to use the ggobi utility. See topic
           'threeD' for installation notes for ggobi. (21 Nov 2007)
