CHANGES IN VERSION 1.2.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE:

* plot a dendrogram as first panel on heatmap plot clustered with hierarchical 
  clustering
* heatmap can be plotted as vector graphics (default for R scripting) or 
  raster graphics (default for web GUI)
* heatmaps can be sorted in increasing or decreasing order
* y-axis is annotated with cluster IDs and number of data rows (heatmap)
* x-axis is annotated with base pairs, e.g. 10bp, 1kb, 1.2Mb, etc.
* heatmaps can be plotted using GGplot2 package instead of R base graphics 
  system
* speed-up in motif plots thanks to faster, vectored implementation 
  of motif density data acquisition 
* code simplification - seqplots in Shiny GUI mode use all functions 
  from package core

GUI:

* feature-track pairs selection grid have UI elements to multi-select and batch 
  change labels/colors/etc.
* option to make a clustering repeatable (works by reusing a .Random.seed)
* option to plot selected cluster only as heatmap
* SeqPlots GUI updated to work with Bootstrap v3.3.1

BUGFIX:

* lines separating the clusters are drawn in correct places on 
  grDevices::quartz devices
* proper positioning of 3' ends of anchored region in motif plot
* fixed error with anchored plots and genomic feature width equals 1bp
* y-axis does respect cex.axis parameter
* GUI fixed to work with shiny 0.11.0 and above


CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE:

  in the package
* warning message if JS File API is not supported (old browsers)
* improved the performance of heatmap plotting by using list of matrices 
  instead concatenated matrix
