Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this section.

[0.5.1] - 2022-08-03

``` Added (none)

Changed - Bug fixes for nonuniform data inputs (missing values, actors without actions in a period, etc.). (Note: missing values are not treated as a separate category. This does not yet support different temporal bracketing, empty turns within a period, etc.)

Removed (none) ```

[0.5.0] - 2022-08-02

``` Added (none)

Changed - Switched to electron.js framework (Chromium browser; runs on node.js; npm for package management; electron-packager for distributions) - Changes simplicity measure from HHI to [-1 * ShannonEntropy]

Removed (none) ```

Development Versions (^0.5.0): - based on electron.js framework from the electron-R/Shiny project: https://github.com/COVAIL/electron-quick-start. See also: https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

Archived Versions (Deprecated): - see https://github.com/sdownin/sequencer-proto for changelog of previous versions before framework changed to electron.js
