1.1.0: 1. The ISAtab-class was extended to include the definition of assay.names, factors, treatments and groups. 2. The previous processAssayXcmsSet method was split into processAssayXcmsSet.1factor and processAssayXcmsSet to consider the first factor only (as it was in the previous definition) or all the factors, respectively. 3. More methods for processing mass spectrometry assays were added: - the method getMSAssayFilenames retrieves a list with the mass spectrometry assay filenames - the method getRawDataFiles retrieves a list with all the files listed under the column ‘Raw Spectral Data File’ within the mass spectrometry assays. - the method is.ms receives an object from the ISAtab-class and an assay filename as parameter, and retrieves TRUE if the assay filename is a mass spectrometry assay, or FALSE otherwise. 4. A method called suggestBiocPackage was added, which retrieves a list of packages in Bioconductor that might be relevant to the ISAtab dataset, according to its assays’ mesaurement and technology types. This method relies on the BiocViews annotations for each of the packages available in Bioconductor in a specific version. 5. Added AssayTab-class and subclasses for MS, Microarray, Seq and NMR. 6. Defined method getAssayRawDataFilenames and getRawDataFilenames 7. Defined method getExpressionSet for microarray assays relying on affy package.

0.99.16: seabird() no longer takes a vector for the stop argument

0.99.15: temporarily removed dependency on ROCR (and thus gdata)

0.99.14: normalized intensities as well as betas fixed a bug in as.methylumi

0.99.13:

0.99.12: Sentrix IDs should work (thanks to Elodie Portales-Casamar for bug report).

0.99.11:

0.99.10:

0.9.8: new MethyLumiSet method for pfilter RGtoy2 removed from data(minfitoy). This is because minfi now expects the manifest to be a package. swan function patched so that it can process subsets of array data (provided by Jovana Maksimovic). Now works with melon data set. as.methylumi generic function added. Gets fData from package:IlluminaHumanMethylation450k.db . The MethyLumiSet method is useful for ensuring methylumi objects contain this data. Andrew Teschendorff’s BMIQ function and a MethyLumiSet method added minfi 1.4.0 has a changed manifest structure resulting in SNP probes being left out of the MethylSet. This breaks genki() for the minfi objects and also the minfitoy data() set.
