NEWS file for the `ergm.ego` package

ergm's new nodal attributes user interface has been extended to ergm.ego.
mixingmatrix.egodata and degreedist.egodata now have an option to ignore sampling weights.
Simulation frmo an ergm.ego fit now inherints the constraints.
It is now possible to specify the (pseudo)population network temlate directly by passing it to control$ppopsize.
It is now possible to infer main effects (nodefactor and nodecov) when the attribute has only been obseved on the egos.

A wide variety of minor bugs has been fixed. See commit log and issue tracker for details.

A number of robustifications have been made.
ergm.ego now produces sensible error messages when terms have alter categories that egos do not.
Chad Klumb has been added as a contributor.
gof.ergm.ego's default MCMC.interval is now the MCMC.interval of the ergm fit scaled by the ratio between the fit's MCMC.samplesize and GoF control's nsim.
gof.ergm.ego now only calculates GOF for degree values up to twice the highest observed in the data or 6, whichever is higher with an additional category to catch the higher values.

mm term has been implemented. degreedist now has an option to not plot, and returns the calculated degree distribution (invisibly, if plotting).
offset terms are now handled.
More EgoStat now handle more options that their ergm counterparts do.
ergm.ego's ppopsize control parameter and simulate method for ergm.ego's popsize argument now take a data frame of egos to use as the pseudopopulation.

Package now works with ergm 3.9.
degreedist now handles sampling weights correctly, and has been fixed in other ways.
Bootstrap and jackknife now handle one-dimentional stats correctly.
mixingmatrix.egodata now handles ego ID column names other than vertex.names. Thanks to Deven Hamilton for reporting this bug. Non-numeric ego IDs are also handled correctly.
mixingmatrix.egodata no longer rounds the row probabilities before returning when called rowprob=TRUE.
