Changes in version 2020-08-26                      

  - New vech() function: performs half-vectorization on a symmetric
    matrix. This is the vector-form of the lower triangular matrix only.
    Unlike other functions on CRAN, vech() inherits any names from the
    matrix.

Bug Fixes

  - dmatrixnorm: Clarified by replacing the name of argument use.log
    with log for consistency in argument name with mvtnorm and stats
    package.
      - is.symmetric(), is.positive.definite(),
        is.positive.semi.definite():
          - if A is not symmetric, these functions NOW return FALSE
            instead of stopping the function. Restructured helper
            find.eval().
          - if A contains a missing value (NA), these functions NOW
            return NA.
      - rmatrixnorm: Added the first argument s to draw many random
        samples. Only 1 sample is still drawn; the argument currently
        has no effect but acts as a placeholder in future releases.
      - Clarified documentation.
      - Added session information and version details to the vignette.
        The updated versions of the packages listed do not affect the
        results of matrixNormal functions.

                      Changes in version 2019-12-5                      

  - The documentation is clarified.
      - Submitted to CRAN but failed to be released.

                     Changes in version 2019-07-09                      

  - Vignette is added, replacing the package R file. Included the use
    and uniqueness of matrixNormal distribution. Also included an
    example that uses the package. Added additional packages to be
    imported in Documentation.
      - Documentation clarified.
      - Minor Changes in Examples: ** Changed order of examples in
        rmatnorm() for reproducibility ** Made clearer in using the
        dataset package in pmatnorm() example ** Removed installation of
        matrixcalc package in is.symmetric.matrix examples.
      - is.positive.definite(), is.positive.semi.definite() returns NA
        if the matrix contains missing value (bug fix).
      - pmatnorm(), dmatnorm(), rmatnorm() now throws error if the
        parameters of the matrix Normal Distribution M, U, or V contain
        any missing values.
      - rmatnorm() now returns a matrix with rownames from U and the
        colnames from V.
      - In rmatnorm(), pre0.9_9994 that was passed from rmvnorm()
        function in mvtnorm library is removed, because it is not
        needed. This argument was introduced in mvtnorm library to fix a
        bug in version 0.9-9993, but matrixNormal uses a version of at
        least 1.0.8. This argument is just not needed, and if
        pre0.9_9994 is set to TRUE, nothing will happen.

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2022-01-03)                  

  - pmatnorm: Included argument keepAttr to pass to mvtnorm::pmvtnorm()
    v.1.1-2: logical allowing users to attach error and message to the
    return value. See .
    
      - rmatnorm:
        
          - Added argument checkSymmetry = FALSE to mvtnorm::rmvnorm()
            as the matrices are already checked for symmetry. See .
          - U and V are incorrectly switched, (thanks, @prockenschaub,
            https://github.com/phargarten2/matrixNormal/issues/1)
              - Added warning to earlier versions of R
              - Changed reference cited.
              - Made argument method clearer
    
      - Documentation clarification, thanks #1
