Version 2.1.1

• Fixed a bug in sim.fbd.rateshift.taxa which led to trees being simulated with the wrong rates. NB: Any dataset simulated with this function before the fix is invalid and needs to be rerun.

Version 2.1.0

New functionality

• The new function fossils.to.pyrate can be used to convert objects generated by this package into PyRate format.
• The new functions fossils.to.BEAST.constraints and fossils.to.BEAST.start.tree.Rd can be used to convert objects generated by this package into BEAST2 format.
• The new functions subsample.fossils.oldest, subsample.fossils.oldest.and.youngest, subsample.fossils.uniform and subsample.fossils.youngest can be used to subsample fossil occurrences.

Function changes

• The innovative rates model has been integrated into the independent model in the function sim.trait.values. Parameters are unchanged.
• The asymmetric plot function has been renamed rangeplot.asymmetric and separated from the SAtree objects.

Bugfixes

• Fixed several bugs in rangeplot.asymmetric that could lead to crashes or plots with missing edges.
• Fixed a bug in SAtree.from.fossils where SAtree objects were not created properly when using an empty fossils object.
