CHANGES IN VERSION 1.24.1
-------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o spicy() with weights = TRUE: when every prediction of the weight model was
      at or below 0.1, all weights became NA and the condition was silently
      dropped from the model (topPairs() then failed with "coef not a column
      name"). The pair is now fitted with equal weights and a warning.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.18.0
-------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Added functionality for survival and mixed effect survival analysis.
    
    o Added new plotting functions for survival analysis.
    
    o Added support for using weights for alternative results.
    

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed issue with bubble plot where unicode characters don't show up on
      certain operating systems.
    
    o Fixed issue with bubble plot where legend was not accurately showing 
      conditions or phenotypes on the plot.


SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

    o Vignette has been updated with new dataset showcasing more functionality
      of spicyR.
