mvglmmRank 1.2-5 (2026-06-09)

• Fixed handling of method = "N.mov" with home.field = FALSE. In previous versions this option was silently ignored because N_mov() forced home.field = TRUE internally.

• Fixed related no-home-field parameter indexing in the N_mov() and NB_mov() score/Hessian helpers.

• Fixed no-home-field binary fixed-effect assignment in the PB_cre() Hessian helper.

• Added neutral-site/home-field smoke coverage. Short regression coverage is run during package checks; the full option matrix can be run locally with NOT_CRAN=true.

• Refreshed user documentation, examples, references, and citation metadata.

• Default home.field = TRUE behavior is intended to be unchanged. Prior results are expected to be affected only for calls using method = "N.mov", home.field = FALSE.
