        \item \code{plot.glmsmurf}, \code{plot_reest.glmsmurf} and \code{plot_lambda.glmsmurf}: Link to \code{plot.default} instead of \code{plot} (\pkg{graphics}) to avoid warnings on R-4.0.0.

 \subsection{Changes in \code{R}-code:}{
  \itemize{
    \item Select first element of \code{class(obj)} when \code{obj} might be a \code{matrix} object as \code{matrix} objects will also inherit from class \code{array} in R 4.0.0 (and hence \code{class(obj)} will be of length > 1).
    \item Add an extra test for the output of a \code{glmsmurf} object where a Graph-Guided Fused Lasso is used.
