VIM 4.8.0

• fixed a bug in the distance computation when different variable types are used
• added imp_var and imp_suffix to irmi(), so it is more consistent with the other functions (#27)
• added parameter addRF, only RF to kNN(), to use random forest in combination with kNN()
• testthat package used for all tests
• added travis automatically building/checking

• new imputation function matchImpute() for imputing randomly within groups

VIM 4.7.0

• remove handling of impNA in hotdeck()
• add regression tests
• bugfix for irmi() with factors (#13). Thanks @Deleetdk
• bugfix with colorspace package (#4)

VIM 4.5.0

• new option for kNN(): weightDist to use the distances for the k nearest neighbours as weights
• The R function which.minN() is not used anymore, instead there is a C++ function, kNN() is now about 1.6 times faster on a replication (100x) of the sleep dataset
• Bytecompile is enabled

VIM 4.4.1

• bugfix wrong observations marked as imputed in hotdeck()
• random sorting is now used in hotdeck() if no ord_var is defined

VIM 4.3.0

• bugfix for hotdeck() with makeNA
• bugfix for the computation of distances for ordered variables
• bug fixed in irmi() with newer version of nnet (multinom) and if residual scale can not be computed (noise)
• Improvement Gower dist with only missing values in data.x or data.y
• new option for kNN() useImputedDist if the imputed values of a variable should be used in subsequent imputation of another variable.

VIM 4.1.0

• new parameter modelFormula in irmi()
• bug fixes in irmi()
• updated hotdeck() based on data.table -> faster and quite stable
• bug fix if range of a variable is 0 in gower.dist()
• small fixed kNN()
• small bugfix for using makeNA in `kNN()
• "Nothing to impute"-Error is now a warning
• imp_var now updates existing TF imp_vars (with warning)
