Changes in version 0.4.0 (2026-11-07)                  

First CRAN release.

Breaking changes

  - The Shiny module functions (esWidgetUI(), esWidgetServer(),
    power2_ui(), power2_sever(), gstTippingPoint_ui()) and app_sys() are
    no longer exported. They are internal to gst_power_app() and
    make_forestplot_app(), which are unchanged
  - sim_power() now uses one core by default (ncore = 1L, previously 4)
    and no longer prints progress or timing. Set verbose = TRUE for
    progress messages

Minor changes

  - get_n() documentation now states that it returns the sample sizes n0
    and n1
  - Every exported function documents its return value and has a
    runnable example
  - Title and Description rewritten, with references to O'Brien (1984)
    and Luo et al. (2025)
  - Removed the non-standard pdr role from the maintainer's Authors@R
    entry
  - License field changed to the standard Apache License (== 2.0); the
    license itself is unchanged
  - Requires R >= 4.1.0 (the package uses the native pipe)
  - Import only the needed ggplot2 and plotly functions, which removes
    the last_plot() import warning
  - Use TRUE/FALSE instead of T/F throughout
  - Removed the empty wei_lachin() placeholder
  - Smaller vignette screenshot

                        Changes in version 0.3.1                        

Minor Changes

  - Point the package site, issue links, and in-app help links at the
    xni7/gst fork
  - Cite Luo et al. (2025) in the reference vignette and in obt(), and
    remove the private white-paper link
  - Record Xiao Ni as the maintainer contact
  - Reword the sartheme() title; the function name and app colors are
    unchanged

                        Changes in version 0.3.0                        

Last release on GitLab. gst will move to GitHub for all future
development

Major Changes

  - Added obrien_plus() to compute power for joint endpoints and any
    individual endpoint

  - Added obt() to perform O'Brien truncated closed testing

Minor Changes

  - Improved functionality and UI of make_forestplot_app() and
    gst_power_app()

                        Changes in version 0.2.0

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

Initial release.

Includes functions to launch two shiny applications:

  - GST Power App: gst_power_app()
  - Make Forestplot App: make_forestplot_app()

GST Power App can be used to run power and sample size calculations for
the Global Statistical Test under a variety of scenarios. Additional
details can be found in the vignette.

Make Forestplot App allows users to easily generate a forestplot by
uploading data, copy/pasting from a spreadsheet, or manually typing. The
resulting plot can be resized and visually customized in a variety of
ways. Also included are options to handle endpoints with inverted
directionality and different scales. See the vignette for additional
details.
