      value of argument "distm" to "euclidean", in the function findTh()

      use "+" and "-" to signal "increasing" or "decreasing"
    o Improved: splitting strings now possible using "+" and "-" to signal
      "increasing" or "decreasing", when using sort.by in function truthTable()
    o Fixed: an outstanding bug assigning cases from truth table rows to solution,
      when subsetting based on the frequency threshold (thanks to Nena Oana and
      Carsten Schneider for the report)
    o Fixed: diagonal and middle guides in XYplot were drawing outside of the plot
      region when using multiple plots in the same graphics device
    o Fixed: bug in the GUI version of calibrate(), when switching from fuzzy to
      crisp it preserved the names of the thresholds and triggered an error
