For maximum backwards compatibility, all of the hierarchy methods still exist, but they are deprecated and will print a warning with the proper function to use.

NEW FEATURES

• The default plot for the index of association will now be a single histogram. The user has the option to visualize the standardized index of association (index = "rbarD", default) or the classic index of association (index = "Ia"). If the user uses the function ia with the argument valuereturn = TRUE, then the resulting object can be plotted with the plot function.
• The function poppr will now plot all populations in a single faceted plot instead of one plot per population.
• aboot and bruvo.boot will now be able to utilize any function to generate trees (suggested in issue #18).
• The mlg slot in the genclone object can now optionally hold an MLG class object. This object will contain different definitions of multilocus genotypes, allowing the user to switch between observed, custom, and mlgs defined given a genetic distance threshold.

• minimum spanning network functions gain the ability to collapse multilocus genotypes by genetic distance with the option threshold.

• plot_poppr_msn now gives users the option to exclude the legends.
• Default plotting for mlg.table will no longer produce one plot per population. It will now produce a single ggplot object for all populations. Note that the bars are no longer colored by count.
• poppr will no longer calculate "Hexp". Instead, Simpson's index will be calumniated, but the old index can be retrieved by using (N/(N - 1))*lambda.
• poppr can now take any statistic that can be calculated from a table of multilocus genotype counts.
• genind2genalex gains the ability to selectively write different strata.

• filter_stats will show you graphical output of all the algorithms in mlg.filter.
• cutoff_predictor will predict the cutoff threshold from mlg.filter.
• bitwise.dist can efficiently calculate absolute genetic distance for genlight objects.

NEW CLASSES

• snpclone is an extension of the genlight object that acts very much like genclone. It contains an mlg slot.

poppr 1.0.5

NOTABLE CHANGE

• The default shuffling algorithm for calculating the index of association has changed from multilocus-style sampling to permutation of alleles.
