                        Changes in version 0.2.2                        

Major changes

  - Fixed issue due to high alphas which caused parametric Rao's to go
    to infinite (just added a warning for the multidimensional version).
  - Rao still deprecated but connected in the background with paRao(...,
    alpha=1) for continuity with older versions.

Major changes

    window=c(3,5)).
  - Multidimension paRao now working for np>1.

Minor changes

  - Vignette for multidimension Rao
    (rasterdiv_advanced_multimensionRao).

                        Changes in version 0.2.1                        

Major changes

  - A new function accRao to derive the accumulation function of
    parametric Rao's index over a range of alphas. A vignette
    (rasterdiv_advanced_accRao) to show how to apply this function was
    added to the package.

                        Changes in version 0.2.0                        

Major changes

  - New parametrization of Rao's quadratic entropy. This parametrisation
    reconciles abundance-based indexes with distance-based indexes
    (Rao). The new function is called paRao, which stands for parametric
    Rao's entropy.

  - Minor improvements in the structure of all main functions.
  - Option to save the output as a rasterstack for all main functions.
  - pbapply and pbmcapply for progress bars.
