Changes in version 0.99.9 (2025-03-27)                 

  - Minor updates to vignette content.

                 Changes in version 0.99.8 (2025-03-21)                 

  - The neighbourhood entropy calculation now includes the index cell's
    initial subcluster label. This is to ensure that distinct cells
    existing in otherwise completely homogeneous space are taken into
    account when measuring neighbourhood heterogeneity.
  - Following additional parameter testing on simulated data, changed
    the default values of spread for Gaussian distribution (from 0.05
    to 0.3) and clustering k (from 5 to 10), and recommended value of
    spread for exponential distribution (from 20 to 5).
  - Moved all helper functions to the utilities.R file.
  - Minor updates to the column names in which initial cluster and
    subcluster labels are stored after first clustering step.
  - Updated the descriptions of all functions in the package.
  - Improved the tutorial vignette content.

                 Changes in version 0.99.7 (2025-01-08)                 

  - Minor updates.
  - Renamed the example dataset from example.RData to
    ClustSignal_example.RData
  - Updated DESCRIPTION file to add bluster package version (>= 1.16.0)
    required to run ClustSIGNAL.

                 Changes in version 0.99.6 (2024-12-11)                 

  - Modified adaptiveSmoothing() function to improve its runtime.
  - Improved the tutorial vignette content.
  - Added step-by-step ClustSIGNAL run guide to the tutorial vignette.
  - Removed the user parameter cells. The package automatically uses the
    column names of the input SpatialExperiment object as the cell ID.
  - Added a cell id check - throws error if duplicates found among
    column names of input SpatialExperiment object.

                 Changes in version 0.99.5 (2024-11-28)                 

  - Fixed issue where absence of spatial coordinates was not throwing
    error at the beginning of the run.

                 Changes in version 0.99.4 (2024-11-28)                 

  - Corrected character check for output format type.

                 Changes in version 0.99.0 (2024-09-19)                 

  - Submitted to Bioconductor.

                 Changes in version 0.00.3 (2024-10-31)                 

  - Clustering parameter options added to package
  - Initial and final clustering steps are now in separate functions
  - Test units added to the package

                 Changes in version 0.00.2 (2024-10-08)                 

  - Updated parallel runs in smoothing function for faster runs
