huge 1.6 (2026-04-13)

• Fixed huge.roc() F1 score: precision was computed from rates instead of counts, inflating F1 in sparse graphs (TP rate and FP rate were correct; only F1 was affected).
• Fixed huge.select() missing support for tiger method (no default criterion, RIC/StARS refit, or opt.icov extraction).
• Fixed C++ performance regression for glasso (3-4x) and tiger (7x) vs 1.4: replaced scalar loops with BLAS ddot calls, precomputed column norms, and reverted glasso screening to proven basic method.
• Fixed plot.sim() graphics parameter leak (par() shadowing and missing on.exit() restore).
• Fixed ebic.score field naming mismatch in documentation.
• Fixed scr parameter documentation (incorrectly stated MB not supported).
• Fixed align parameter documentation in plot.huge (logically inverted).
• Removed dead fit$rss matrix from huge.mb() and huge.tiger().
• Added CI workflow for R CMD check on Linux and Windows.

huge 1.5 (2026-03-11)

• BLAS acceleration for graphical lasso and TIGER solvers (2-3x speedup at d >= 200).
• Added strong screening rule for graphical lasso.
• Removed RcppEigen dependency; the package now uses lightweight C++ headers with direct BLAS calls.
• Added testthat test suite.
• Added TIGER to DESCRIPTION text.
• Fixed Makevars.win BLAS linking.
• Fixed nonparanormal transform (huge.npn) rownames bug.
• Fixed documentation typos and parameter reference errors.
