Changes in version 1.0 (2026-07-22)                   

This is the first official CRAN release of FES, the reference R
implementation of Fisher exact scanning for dependency.

Package interface

  - Converted the original scripts into an installable, documented R
    package.

  - Renamed the public analysis function from fisherScan() to the
    concise package-level interface fes().

  - Standardized the public spelling of the Sidak correction in the
    returned Sidak component and the plot.sidak argument.

  - Replaced the fixed Figures/ output switch with output.dir, so files
    are written only to a directory explicitly supplied by the user.

  - Added opt-in window-level results and structure plots so FES can
    locate and characterize dependencies in addition to testing for
    their presence.

Statistical and computational improvements

  - Restored the intended active-resolution count in the global p-value
    calculation; a historical sum() call with no argument always
    returned zero.

  - Added input validation, numerically stable Sidak corrections,
    bounded p-values, and safe handling of resolutions with no testable
    windows.

Visualization and examples

  - Improved plotting and corrected the window-level Sidak adjustment
    used in plots. Scan panels now use colorblind-friendly shared
    scales, informative annotations, observation overlays, and
    high-contrast significance outlines.

  - Added visual demos covering the original example, nonlinear
    dependence, localized dependence, dependency maps, local direction
    changes, and evidence across scanning resolutions.

  - Added demos showing how FES learns local direction changes, circular
    structure, and alternating association patterns.

  - Structure maps now default to a single automatically selected
    partition stratum, avoiding hard-to-read overlaps across resolution
    levels. Explicit stratum selection and an opt-in cross-resolution
    overlay remain available.

Quality and release infrastructure

  - Added automated tests, package citation metadata, and continuous
    integration.
