# dbscan 1.1-12 (2023-11-28)

## Bugfix
* point_density checks now for missing values (reported by soelderer)
* Removed C++11 specification.
* ANN.cpp: fixed Rprintf warning.

# dbscan 1.1-11 (2022-10-26)

## New Features
* kNNdistplot gained parameter minPts.
* dbscan now retains information on distance method and border points.
* HDBSCAN now supports long vectors to work with larger distance matrices. 
* conversion from dist to kNN and frNN is now more memory efficient. It does no longer 
  coerce the dist object into a matrix of double the size, but extract the distances directly
  from the dist object.
* Better description of how predict uses only Euclidean distances and more error checking.
* The package now exports a new generic for as.dendrogram().

## Bugfix
* is.corepoint() now uses the correct epsilon value (reported by Eng Aun).
* functions now check for cluster::dissimilariy objects which have class dist 
  but missing attributes.

# dbscan 1.1-10 (2022-01-14)

## New Features
* is.corepoint() for DBSCAN.
* coredist() and mrdist() for HDBSCAN.
* find connected components with comps().

## Changes
* reachability plot now shows all undefined distances as a dashed line.

## Bugfix
* memory leak in mrd calculation fixed.

# dbscan 1.1-9 (2022-01-10)

## Changes
* We use now roxygen2.  

## New Features

# dbscan 1.1-8 (2021-04-26)

## Bugfixes
* LOF: fixed numerical issues with k-nearest neighbor distance on Solaris.

# dbscan 1.1-7 (2021-04-21)

## Bugfixes
* Fixed description of k in knndistplot and added minPts argument.
* Fixed bug for tied distances in lof (reported by sverchkov).

## Changes
* lof: the density parameter was changes to minPts to be consistent with the original paper and dbscan. Note that minPts = k + 1.

# dbscan 1.1-6 (2021-02-24)

## Improvements 
* Improved speed of LOF for large ks (following suggestions by eduardokapp). 
* kNN: results is now not sorted again for kd-tree queries which is much faster (by a factor of 10).
* ANN library: annclose() is now only called once when the package is unloaded. This is in preparation to support persistent kd-trees using external pointers.
* hdbscan lost parameter xdist.

## Bugfixes
* removed dependence on methods.
* fixed problem in hullplot for singleton clusters (reported by Fernando Archuby).
* GLOSH now also accepts data.frames.
* GLOSH returns now 0 instead of NaN if we have k duplicate points in the data.

# dbscan 1.1-5 (2019-10-22)

## New Features
* kNN and frNN gained parameter query to query neighbors for points not in the data.
* sNN gained parameter jp to decide if the shared NN should be counted using the definition by Jarvis and Patrick.


# dbscan 1.1-4 (2019-08-05)

## New Features
* kNNdist gained parameter all to indicate if a matrix with the distance to all 
  nearest neighbors up to k should be returned.

## Bugfixes
* kNNdist now correctly returns the distances to the kth neighbor 
  (reported by zschuster).
* dbscan: check eps and minPts parameters to avoid undefined results (reported by ArthurPERE).


# dbscan 1.1-3 (2018-11-12)

## Bugfix
* pointdensity was double counting the query point (reported by Marius Hofert).

# dbscan 1.1-2 (2018-05-18)

## New Features
* OPTICS now calculates eps if it is omitted.

## Bugfix
* Example now only uses igraph conditionally since it is unavailable 
  on Solaris (reported by B. Ripley).

# dbscan 1.1-1 (2017-03-19)

## Bugfix

* Fixed problem with constant name on Solaris in ANN code (reported by B. Ripley).

# dbscan 1.1-0 (2017-03-18)

## New Features

* HDBSCAN was added.
* extractFOSC (optimal selection of clusters for HDBSCAN) was added.
* GLOSH outlier score was added.
* hullplot uses now filled polygons as the default.
* hullplot now used PCA if the data has more than 2 dimensions.
* Added NN superclass for kNN and frNN with plot and with adjacencylist().
* Added shared nearest neighbor clustering as sNNclust() and sNN to calculate
  the number of shared nearest neighbors.
* Added pointdensity function.
* Unsorted kNN and frNN can now be sorted using sort().
* kNN and frNN now also accept kNN and frNN objects, respectively. This can 
  be used to create a new kNN (frNN) with a reduced k or eps.
* Datasets added: DS3 and moon.

  cluster assignments.
