contagionchannels 0.1.3 (2026-05-08)
- Address CRAN reviewer feedback (Benjamin Altmann): the
plot_qte_intensity() base-graphics fallback path mutated
graphics::par(mfrow = ...) and reset it manually at the end.
Replaced with the canonical oldpar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE); on.exit(par(oldpar)) idiom so the user's graphical parameters are
restored even if the function exits via an error.
contagionchannels 0.1.2
- Address CRAN auto-check feedback on 0.1.1: arXiv preprint references
in
DESCRIPTION must use the arXiv DOI form
<doi:10.48550/arXiv.YYMM.NNNNN>. Updated the Bhandari, Parida & Sahu
(2026) reference accordingly. The CITATION entry now also exposes the
arXiv DOI explicitly.
contagionchannels 0.1.1

arXiv:2604.26546, to DESCRIPTION, CITATION, and README.
