Changes for version 0.8-2 [2019-03-03]

• moved most CCT-related functions to package spacesXYZ, which is now imported
• in probeOptimalColors(), changed to zonohedral representation of the color solid.
• added function sectionOptimalColors()
• changed argument list for plotOptimals3D()
• added function plotOptimals2D()
• in planckSpectra() changed constant c2 unit from nmK to mK to agree with the rest of the literature

• in vignette Phenol Red - pH Indicator, now display RGB matrix explicity, both before and after scaling
• additions and improvements to colorSpec User Guide
• now Imports package minpack.lm

Changes for version 0.6-2 [2017-12-03]

• bug fix: print.colorSpec() and summary.colorSpec() were sending output to stderr(), instead of stdout()
• improved reading of CGATS files with standard whitespace convention
• in all sample CGATS files, changed spaces in field names to underscores

Changes for version 0.6-1 [2017-11-16]

• renamed proofs.Rmd to proofs.txt - to avoid "Files named as vignettes but with no recognized vignette engine:"

Changes for version 0.6 [2017-11-16]
