descr 1.1 (2015-04-14)

• Change:
• The plot.CrossTable() function now plots a mosaic graphic with rows and columns that mirror the output table. The x and y arguments of crosstab() were renamed indep and dep, respectively, to avoid the confusion with what should be xlab and ylab. The arguments user.missing.x and user.missing.y were also renamed.
• Bug fix:
• Use format.pval() to print p-value in print.CrossTable().

• Bug fixes:
• R/labels2R.R: Accept negative values.
• R/xtable.R: Add row and column total proportions to xtable (thanks to Johannes Herrmann for reporting the bug).
• Changes:
• New argument for compmeans: missing.include (thanks to Olivier Armand for reporting the issue that led to this change).
• New argument for CrossTable: drop.levels.
• New option: descr.na.replacement.

descr 1.0.3 (2014-08-01)

• Bug fixes:

• Make CrossTable() to print only what is set to TRUE.
• CrossTable() doesn't output chisq.test() warnings if chisq = FALSE and prop.chisq = FALSE.
• News functions: data.frame2txt() and labels2R().

descr 1.0.1 (2013-01-15)

• Bug fix:
• src/fwf2csv.c: Free no longer used allocated memory.
• Implement weighted boxplot for compmeans (code written by Stefan Kraft for the simPopulation package). Change:

• Replace method odfTable.CrossTable with function forODFTable to avoid dependency on odfWeave which currently is not installable on Windows.
• Bug fix:
• CrossTable(): Improve documentation about default values of chisq, resid, sresid, and asresid. Set the value of expected to TRUE if residuals are requested (thanks for David Carlson for reporting the bugs).

descr 0.4.1 (2011-09-06)

• Bug fix:

• Changes:
• Inverted colors in the mosaic plot produced by crosstab().
• Only add cumulative percent to frequency table if the object is "ordered".
• print.CrossTable():
• Removed the message "Total Observations in Table", since the number is printed in the table anyway.
• Removed vertical bars from the output to give room for longer factor labels.
• getOption("OutDec") now is used to format the numbers.
• Expected frequency now is always printed with one decimal digit.
• New features:
