                        Changes in version 1.0.0                        

The version used for the 2013 assessment cycle. Though the repository
was not tagged until 2015. Melissa Haltuch noted that in 2014 the code
was updated and a summary of those updates are provided below.

  - tpl file
      - 2 new options for bias estimation.
          - (5) Splines, which requires a new argument defining the
            knots.
          - (6) Linear interpolation between knots, which requires a new
            argument that defines the knots.
      - Changes the calculation of the best true age because the
        previous way led to strange plots.
      - Improvement to effective sample size calculation.
  - dat file
      - Read in one data set with missing entries, where there are no
        double reads. In the 2011-based code it allowed for reading in
        of multiple data sets.
      - Increased estimation speed because of how missing values are
        treated.
  - R files
      - Includes code to simulate data.
      - Includes a function to format input data from a csv with readers
        in columns and double reads in the rows.
      - Plot standardized outputs from the output file. These figures
        could still use some development.
      - Ability to step through multiple runs and catalog the output
        using the new StepwiseFn() function.
