News for Package vcd

agreementplot() now allows to add marginals to the plot
abbreviate argument of labeling_border() renamed to abbreviate_labs to prevent name clash with abbreviate_foo args in labeling_cells()
Several partial matches fixed in code

Bug fix: assoc() would not plot tables with 0 residuals
Bug fix: structable() adds dimnames and dimname names if none are specified
Bug fix: print error message when subsetting/selecting of structable objects using more than 2 indices
‘NEWS’ file changed to .Rd format

Add aperm method for structable objects
For use with shading_Friendly(), shading_hsv() now sets the line type of borders corresponding to abs(residual) < eps to lty[1] in addition to setting color to line_color.
In fourfold(), modified default colors[3:4] for non-significant log odds ratios to be more visually distinct from the fully saturated colors[5:6] for significant ones.
In fourfold(), allow the function to work with tables with more than 3 dimensions, by restructuring all strata dimensions into a single combined 3rd dimension.
In fourfold(), modified defaults for mfrow/mfcol to give landscape display, nr <= nc, rather than nr >= nc. If length(dim(x)) > 3, set nr=dim(x)[3].

Fixed Ord_plot() for devices where the default filling is "white" and not "transparent" by explicitly setting it to the latter.
Bug fix in as.table.structable(), returning the table in a different order than defined in the structable object, confusing in particular plot.structable().
add parameter to ternaryplot() to control the positioning of the plot labels.

Corrected df handling in goodfit() with ML estimation: only non-zero cells are used. This is backward compatible with versions <= 1.2-4.
Fixed bug in goodfit() for binomial distribution with specified "size" parameter (introduced in 1.2-5).

Bundesliga data set has been augmented with the results of the seasons 2006/7, 2007/8, 2008/9 (thanks to Torsten Hothorn).
goodfit() was modified to treat zero cells better: ‘Internal’ zero cells (i.e., counts below the maximal observed count that did not occur in the sample) are retained (and not dropped as before). ‘Trailing’ zero cells (i.e., counts above the maximal observed count) are still not considered. The documentation now points out the problems with the minimum-chi-squared method in the latter situation.
sieve() now accepts a gp_tile argument to control the appearance of the cells (apart from the sieve color)

Bug fix: labeling arguments were incorrectly handled when the options were not provided as named vector
ternaryplot() now makes use of the cex argument also for the rendering of optional labels, if any

strucplot() now accepts a df argument that is passed to the shading functions. Also, expected values are no longer computed if residuals are given.

Moved color palettes from vcd to colorspace, including vignette("hcl-colors"). Package colorspace is (as before) loaded automatically with vcd.
