Changes in version 1.9.17                        

  - small fixes after CRAN feedback:
      - supressable output
      - on.exit() instead of finally() to reset working directory
      - remove \dontrun or replace \dontrun with \donttest in
        documentation

                       Changes in version 1.9.14                        

  - significant performance improvements in retrieve_kin()

                        Changes in version 1.9.9                        

  - package metadata and documentation cleanup for CRAN submission
  - refreshed release references in the README

                        Changes in version 1.9.7                        

  - new: parallelization!
      - one can provide a list of seeds or a list of sup-filenames and
        all those simulations will be executed in parallel
      - read_opop and read_omar will read several result files into one
        dataframe, if the user supplies a list of seeds or a list of
        filenames instead of only one seed. These functions increment
        ids so that ids will not collide.
  - printing to the console:
      - removed lots of unneccessary print statements
      - replaced lots of sprintf statements in the C/C++ code with safer
        wrapper functions
      - most simulation log-file statements are now "debug-level" and
        will not pollute the log-file
  - Making the package CRAN-ready by removing lots of warnings
  - fixed some issues/inconsistencies in retrieve_kin and estimate_rates
  - added more test simulations
  - Bugfix:restore input/output folder naming behavior from
    version 1.5.9

                         Changes in version 1.9                         

  - improved marriage queue:
      - array based index
      - 1.9.2: for performance, one can now sample n males instead of
        all males from the marriage queue
          - default marriage_sample_size = 1000 *change in sup-file with
            the keyword "marriage_sample_size 2000"

                        Changes in version 1.8.5

      - the code is based on
        https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim_workshop_paa?tab=readme-ov-file#23-create-initial-population-and-marriage-files
  - merged bugfixes that caused crashes in socsim since December 2024

                        Changes in version 1.6.0

    them into rsocsim format
      - See https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim/issues/28

                        Changes in version 1.5.9                        

  - removed keyword register in load.cpp (See
    https://github.com/MPIDR/rsocsim/issues/11; it causes errors on Mac)
