# rxode2 3.0.4

- Add stable hashes for rxUi objects (#838, #689)

- Fix for iov simulation (#842)

- Fix for `rxnbinom()` called directly from R (#847) and expand it to
  match more close with R's `rnbinom()` including allowing named `mu=`
  calls.  In rxode2 ui, these are also now allowed.

# rxode2 3.0.3

- Add `logit`/`expit` named expressions, that is `logit(x, high=20)`
  becomes `logit(x, 0, 20)` in ui models.

- Updated random ui models like `rxnorm(sd=10)` to accept complex
  numeric expressions like `rxnorm(sd=10+1)`.

- Updated random ui models to accept complex non-numeric expressions
  like `rxnorm(sd=a+b)`

- Rework the `tad()` and related functions so they use the same
  interface as compartments (this way they do not depend on the order
  of compartments); See #815.  For mu-referencing, Also allow dummy
  variables to ignore state requirements (ie `podo(depot)` in a single
  line will not error when parsing mu-referenced equations).

- Add `getRxNpars` to api.  This allows the development version of
  `babelmixr2` to better check what model is loaded and unload/reload
  as necessary.

- Add `rxUdfUiControl()` to rxode2 user function to get control
  information from something like `nlmixr2`

- Bug fix for tracking time after dose when dosing to 2 compartments
  occur at the exact same time (#804, #819)

- Change `transit()` model so that it uses `tad0()`, `podo0()` and
  related functions for a bit more stable simulation and estimation

- Fix compile flags to work with BH 1.87 (#826)

# rxode2 3.0.2

- Bug fix for `api`, the censoring function pointer has been updated
  (#801).

- Query `rxode2.verbose.pipe` at run time instead of requiring it to
  be set before loading `rxode2`.

- Have correct values at boundaries for `logit`, `expit`, `probit`,
  and `probitInv` (instead of `NA`). For most cases this does not
  break anything.

- Add a new style of user function that modifies the `ui` while
  parsing or just before using the function (in the presence of
  `data`).

- Used the new user function interface to allow all random functions
  in `rxode2` ui functions to be named.  For example, you can use
  `rxnorm(sd=3)` instead of having to use `rxnorm(0, 3)`, although
  `rxnorm()` still works.

# rxode2 3.0.1

- Explicitly initialize the order vector to stop valgrind warning
  (requested from CRAN)

# rxode2 3.0.0

## Breaking Changes

- The model properties was moved from `$params` to `$props` so it does
  not conflict with the low level `rxode2` model `$params`

- Error when specifying `wd` without `modName`

- With Linear and midpoint of a time between two points, how `rxode2`
  handles missing values has changed.  When the missing value is lower
  than the requested time, it will look backward until it finds the
  first non-missing value (or if all are missing start looking
  forward).  When the missing value is higher than the requested time,
  the algorithm will look forward until it finds the first non-missing
  value (or if all are missing, start looking backward).

- The order of ODEs is now only determined by the order of `cmt()` and
  `d/dt()`. Compartment properties, `tad()` and other compartment
  related variables no no longer affect compartment sorting.  The
  option `rxode2.syntax.require.ode.first` no longer does anything.

- The handling of zeros "safely" has changed (see #775)

  - when `safeZero=TRUE` and the denominator of a division expression
    is zero, use the Machine's small number/`eps` (you can see this
    value with `.Machine$double.eps`)

  - when `saveLog=TRUE` and the x in the `log(x)` is less than or
    equal to zero, change this to `log(eps)`

  - when `safePow=TRUE` and the expression `x^y` has a zero for `x`
    and a negative number for `y` replace `x` with `eps`.

  Since the protection for divide by zero has changed, the results
  will also change. This is a more conservative protection mechanism
  than was applied previously.

- Random numbers from `rxode2` are different when using `dop853`,
  `lsoda` or `indLin` methods.  These now seed the random numbers in
  the same way as `liblsoda`, so the random number provided will be
  the same with different solving methods.

- The arguments saved in the `rxSolve` for items like `thetaMat` will
  be the reduced matrices used in solving, not the full matrices (this
  will likely not break very many items)

## Possible breaking changes (though unlikely)

- `iCov` is no longer merged to the event dataset.  This makes solving
  with `iCov` slightly faster (#743)


## New features

- You can remove covariances for every omega by piping with `%>%
  ini(diag())` you can be a bit more granular by removing all
  covariances that have either `eta.ka` or `eta.cl` by: `%>%
  ini(diag(eta.ka, eta.cl))` or anything with correlations with
  `eta.cl` with `%>% ini(diag(eta.cl))`

- You can also remove individual covariances by `%>% ini(-cov(a, b))`
  or `%>% ini(-cor(a,b))`.

- You can specify the type of interpolation applied for added dosing
  records (or other added records) for columns that are kept with the
  `keep=` option in `rxSolve()`. This new option is
  `keepInterpolation` and can be `locf` for last observation carried
  forward, `nocb` which is the next observation carried backward, as
  well as `NA` which puts a `NA` in all imputed data rows. See #756.

   - Note: when interpolation is linear/midpoint for
     factors/characters it changes to locf with a warning (#759)

   - Also note, that the default keep interpolation is `na`

- Now you can specify the interpolation method per covariate in the model:

  - `linear(var1, var2)` says both `var1` and `var2` would use linear
    interpolation when they are a time-varying covariate. You could
    also use `linear(var1)`

  - `locf()` declares variables using last observation carried forward

  - `nocb()` declares variables using next observation carried backward

  - `midpoint()` declares variables using midpoint interpolation

- `linear()`, `locf()`, `locb()`, `midpoint()`, `params()`, `cmt()`
  and `dvid()` declarations are now ignored when loading a `rxode2`
  model with `rxS()`

- Strings can be assigned to variables in `rxode2`.

- Strings can now be enclosed with a single quote as well as a double
  quote.  This limitation was only in the rxode2 using string since
  the R-parser changes single quotes to double quotes. (This has no
  impact with `rxode2({})` and ui/function form).

- More robust string encoding for symengine (adapted from
  `utils::URLencode()` and `utils::URLdecode()`)

- Empty arguments to `rxRename()` give a warning (#688)

- Promoting from covariates to parameters with model piping (via `ini()`) now
  allows setting bounds (#692)

 - Added `assertCompartmentName()`, `assertCompartmentExists()`,
  `assertCompartmentNew()`, `testCompartmentExists()`,
  `assertVariableExists()` `testVariableExists()`,
  `assertVariableNew()`, `assertVariableName()`, and
  `assertParameterValue()` to verify that a value is a valid nlmixr2
  compartment name, nlmixr2 compartment/variable exists in the model,
  variable name, or parameter value (#726; #733)

- Added `assertRxUnbounded()`, `testRxUnbounded()`, `warnRxBounded()`
  to allow `nlmixr2` warn about methods that ignore boundaries #760

- Added functions `tad0()`, `tafd0()`, `tlast0()` and `tfirst0()` that
  will give `0` instead of `NA` when the dose has not been
  administered yet.  This is useful for use in ODEs since `NA`s will
  break the solving (so can be used a bit more robustly with models
  like Weibull absorption).

- `rxode2` is has no more binary link to `lotri`, which means that
  changes in the `lotri` package will not require `rxode2` to be
  recompiled (in most cases) and will not crash the system.

- `rxode2` also has no more binary linkage to `PreciseSums`

- The binary linkage for `dparser` is reduced to C structures only,
  making changes in dparser less likely to cause segmentation faults
  in `rxode2` if it wasn't recompiled.

- A new model property has been added to `$props$cmtProp` and
  `$statePropDf`.  Both are data-frames showing which compartment has
  properties (currently `ini`, `f`, `alag`, `rate` and `dur`)
  in the `rxode2` ui model.  This comes from the lower
  level model variable `$stateProp` which has this information
  encoded in integers for each state.

- A new generic method `rxUiDeparse` can be used to deparse meta
  information into more readable expressions; This currently by
  default supports lower triangular matrices by lotri, but can be
  extended to support other types of objects like 'nlmixr2's
  `foceiControl()` for instance.

## Bug fixes

- Fix `ui$props$endpoint` when the ui endpoint is defined in terms of
  the ode instead of lhs. See #754

- Fix `ui$props` when the ui is a linear compartment model without `ka` defined.

- Model extraction `modelExtract()` will now extract model properties.  Note that the model property of `alag(cmt)` and `lag(cmt)` will give the same value. See #745

- When assigning reserved variables, the parser will error. See #744

- Linear interpolation will now adjust the times as well as the values
  when `NA` values are observed.

- Fix when keeping data has `NA` values that it will not crash R; Also
  fixed some incorrect `NA` interpolations. See #756

- When using `cmt()` sometimes the next statement would be corrupted
  in the normalized syntax (like for instance `locf`); This bug was
  fixed (#763)

- `keep` will now error when trying to keep items that are in the
  rxode2 output data-frame and will be calculated (#764)

## Big change

- At the request of CRAN, combine `rxode2parse`, `rxode2random`, and
 `rxode2et` into this package; The changes in each of the packages are
 now placed here:

### rxode2et (no changes before merge)

#### rxode2et 2.0.13

* Fix import of data where there are NA times

#### rxode2et 2.0.12

* Fix formatting issues identified by m1mac, as requested by CRAN

#### rxode2et 2.0.11

* Make the stacking more flexible to help rxode2 have more types of plots

* Add `toTrialDuration` by Omar Elashkar to convert event data to trial duration data

* Fix Issue #23 and prefer variable values over NSE values

#### rxode2et 2.0.10

* Fix dollar sign accessing of objects (like data frames), as pointed
  out by @frbrz (issue #16)

* Use `rxode2parse` functions for internal event table creation (where
  they were moved to).

* Dropped C++14 and let the system decide.

#### rxode2et 2.0.9

* Split off `et()`, `eventTable()` and related functions.

* Also split off `rxStack()` and `rxCbindStudyIndividual()` in this
  package.

* Added a `NEWS.md` file to track changes to the package.

### rxode2random (before merge)

- Fix a bug when simulating nested variables (#25)

#### rxode2random 2.1.0

- **Breaking Change** changed distributions from the standard C++
  `<random>` to `boost::random`.  Since this is not dependent on the
  compiler, it makes the random numbers generated from Mac, Windows
  and Linux the same for every distribution.  Unfortunately with a new
  random number transformation, the simulation results will likely be
  different than they were before.  The exception to this is the
  uniform number, which was always the same between platforms.

#### rxode2random 2.0.13

- Fixed formatting issues (as requested by CRAN and identified on `m1mac`)

#### rxode2random 2.0.12

- Added function `dfWishart` which gives (by simulation) an
  approximation of the degrees of freedom of a Wishart to match a
  `rse` value.

- Added function `swapMatListWithCube` which swaps omegaList with
  omegaCube values

- Ensure that the outputs are integers (instead of long integers) as
  requested by CRAN for some checking functions.

#### rxode2random 2.0.11

- Fix qassert LTO

#### rxode2random 2.0.10

- Moved fast factor to `rxode2parse` to allow `etTrans` to be moved there

#### rxode2random 2.0.9

* Initial release of `rxode2random`, which separates the parallel
  safe, random number generation from 'rxode2' into a separate package to
  reduce 'rxode2' compilation time. This should make CRAN maintenance
  a bit easier.

* Added a `NEWS.md` file to track changes to the package.


### rxode2parse (fixed before merging)

* As requested by CRAN remove the C code `SET_TYPEOF` which is no
  longer part of the C R API.

#### rxode2parse 2.0.19

* Added a evid suffix of 60 for cases where evid=2 adds an on event
  (fixes tad() calculation in certain edge cases)

* Initialize all variables to `NA`

#### rxode2parse 2.0.18

* Removed linear compartment solutions with gradients from rxode2parse
  (and rxode2) when compiled with intel c++ compiler (since it crashes
  while compiling).

* Fixed `m1mac` string issues as requested by CRAN

#### rxode2parse 2.0.17

* Added ability to query R user functions in a rxode2 model (will
  force single threaded solve)

* Moved core `rxFunParse` and `rxRmFunParse` here so that C and R user
  function clashes can be handled

* Model variables now tracks which compartments have a lag-time
  defined

* For compartment with steady state doses (NONMEM equivalent SS=1,
  SS=2), an additional tracking time-point is added at to track the
  time when the lagged dose is given.  As an upshot, the lagged dose
  will start at the steady state concentration shifted by + ii - lag
  in `rxode2` (currently for ode systems only)

* This release calculates non bio-availability adjusted duration for
  all rates instead of trying to figure the rate duration during
  solving.

* Make double assignment an error, ie  `a <- b <-`

* `NA` times are ignored (with warning)

* Steady state bolus doses with `addl` are treated as non steady state
  events (like what is observed in `NONMEM`)

* Timsort was upgraded; drop radix support in rxode2 structure

* `etTrans` now supports keeping logical vectors (with the appropriate
  version of `rxode2`).

* Security fixes were applied as requested by CRAN

#### rxode2parse 2.0.16

* Import `data.table` explicitly in the R code (before was imported only in C/C++ code)

#### rxode2parse 2.0.15

* Updates the make flags to support CXX17.

#### rxode2parse 2.0.14

* 'linCmt()' translations of 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma', 'k21', 'k31',
  'vc' now error instead of ignoring 'gamma' and 'k31' to give 2 cmt
  solution

* transit compartment internal code now changes dose to 0.0 when no
  dose has been administered to the depot compartment. This way dosing
  to the central compartment (without dosing to the transit
  compartment) will not give a `NA` for the depot compartment (and
  consequently for the central compartment)

* Moved `rxDerived` here and added tests for it here as well.

* Moved `etTransParse` here and added tests for it here as well (makes
  up most of `etTrans`). In addition the following changes were made
  to `etTransParse()`/`etTrans()`:

  * The internal translation (`etTrans()`) will not drop times when
    infusions stop. Before, if the infusion stopped after the last
    observation the time when the infusion stopped would be dropped.
    This interferes with `linCmt()` models.

  * Breaking change/bug fix `evid=2` are considered observations when
    translating data to internal `rxode2` event structure

  * Fix edge case to find infusion duration when it is the first item
    of the dosing record at time 0.

 * Fixed a bug for certain infusions where the `rate`, `ii` and/or
   `ss` data items were dropped from the output when `addDosing=TRUE`


* Also have internal functions to convert between classic NONMEM
  events and rxode2 events

* Have an internal function that gives information on the linear
  compartmental model translation type, which could be useful for
  babelmixr2

* 'time' in model is now case insensitive

* Use function declaration in `rxode2parseGetTranslation()` to
  determine thread safety of functions available to rxode2

* Add check for correct number of function arguments to parser.

* Like R, known functions can be assigned as a variable and the
  function can still be called (while not changing the variable
  value).  For example you can have a variable `gamma` as well as a
  function `gamma()`.

* Fix garbled error messages that occur with certain messages.

* Fixed errors that occurred when using capitalized AMT variables in
  the model.

#### rxode2parse 2.0.13

* Version bump for dparser (so binaries will be built correctly)

#### rxode2parse 2.0.12

* Bug fix for strict prototypes

* Removed `sprintf` as noted by CRAN

* Made `rxode2parse` dll binary independent of `rxode2()`

#### rxode2parse 2.0.11

* Bug fix for strict aliasing as requested by CRAN

#### rxode2parse 2.0.10

* Use strict aliasing as requested by CRAN

#### rxode2parse 2.0.9

* Initial release to split of rxode2parse from rxode2 to reduce
  compilation time of 'rxode2'


# rxode2 2.1.3

## Bug fixes

- Make sure that the object is a uncompressed rxode2 ui for solving with `rxSolve` (See #661)

- Fix #670 by using the last simulated observation residual when there
  are trailing doses.

## New features

- Create a function to see if a rxode2 solve is loaded in memory
  (`rxode2::rxSolveSetup()`)

- Create a new function that fixes the rxode2 population values in the
  model (and drops them in the initial estimates); `rxFixPop()`

## Other changes

- Pendantic no-remap (as requested by CRAN)

- gcc USBAN fix (as requested by CRAN)

# rxode2 2.1.2

## Other changes

- `rxUi` compression now defaults to fast compression

- Fixes String literal formatting issues as identified by CRAN (#643)

- Removes linear compartment solutions with gradients for intel c++
  compiler (since they crash the compiler).

# rxode2 2.1.0

## Breaking changes

- Steady state with lag times are no longer shifted by the lag time
  and then solved to steady state by default.  In addition the steady
  state at the original time of dosing is also back-calculated. If you
  want the old behavior you can bring back the option with
  `ssAtDoseTime=FALSE`.

- "dop853" now uses the `hmax`/`h0` values from the `rxControl()` or
  `rxSolve()`.  This may change some ODE solving using "dop853"

- When not specified (and xgxr is available), the x axis is no longer
  assumed to be in hours

## New features

- User defined functions can now be R functions.  For many of these R
  functions they can be converted to C with `rxFun()` (you can see the
  C code afterwards with `rxC("funName")`)

- Parallel solving of models that require sorting (like modeled lag
  times, modeled duration etc) now solve in parallel instead of downgrading
  to single threaded solving

- Steady state infusions with a duration of infusions greater than the
  inter-dose interval are now supported.

- Added `$symengineModelNoPrune` and `$symengineModelPrune` for
  loading models into rxode2 with `rxS()`

- When plotting and creating confidence intervals for multiple
  endpoint models simulated from a rxode2 ui model, you can
  plot/summarize each endpoint with `sim`. (ie. `confint(model,
  "sim")` or `plot(model, sim)`).

  If you only want to summarize a subset of endpoints, you can focus
  on the endpoint by pre-pending the endpoint with `sim.`  For example
  if you wanted to plot/summarize only the endpoint `eff` you would
  use `sim.eff`. (ie `confint(model, "sim.eff")` or `plot(model,
  sim.eff)`)

- Added `model$simulationIniModel` which prepend the initial
  conditions in the `ini({})` block to the classic `rxode2({})` model.

- Now `model$simulationModel` and `model$simulationIniModel` will save
  and use the initialization values from the compiled model, and will
  solve as if it was the original ui model.

- Allow `ini(model) <- NULL` to drop ini block and `as.ini(NULL)`
  gives `ini({})` (Issue #523)

- Add a function `modelExtract()` to extract model lines to allow
  modifying them and then changing the model by piping or simply
  assigning the modified lines with `model(ui) <- newModifiedLines`

- Add Algebraic mu-referencing detection (mu2) that allows you to
  express mu-referenced covariates as:

``` r
cl <- exp(tcl + eta.cl + wt_cl * log(WT/70.5))
```

Instead of the

``` r
cl <- exp(tcl + eta.cl + wt_cl * log.WT.div.70.5)
```

That was previously required (where `log.WT.div.70.5` was calculated
in the data) for mu expressions.  The `ui` now has more information to
allow transformation of data internally and transformation to the old
mu-referencing style to run the optimization.

- Allow steady state infusions with a duration of infusion greater than
  the inter-dose interval to be solved.

- Solves will now possibly print more information when issuing a
  "could not solve the system" error

- The function `rxSetPipingAuto()` is now exported to change the way you
  affect piping in your individual setup

- Allow covariates to be specified in the model piping, that is `mod
  %>% model(a=var+3, cov="var")` will add `"var"` as a covariate.

- When calculating confidence intervals for `rxode2` simulated objects
  you can now use `by` to stratify the simulation summary.  For
  example you can now stratify by gender and race by: `confint(sim,
  "sim", by=c("race", "gender"))`

- When calculating the intervals for `rxode2` simulated objects you
  can now use `ci=FALSE` so that it only calculates the default
  intervals without bands on each of the percentiles; You can also
  choose not to match the secondary bands limits with `levels` but use
  your own `ci=0.99` for instance

- A new function was introduced `meanProbs()` which calculates the
  mean and expected confidence bands under either the normal or t
  distribution

- A related new function was introduced that calculates the mean and
  confidence bands under the Bernoulli/Binomial distribution
  (`binomProbs()`)

- When calculating the intervals for `rxode2` simulated objects you
  can also use `mean=TRUE` to use the mean for the first level of
  confidence using `meanProbs()`. For this confidence interval you can
  override the `n` used in the confidence interval by using `n=#`. You
  can also change this to a prediction interval instead using
  `pred=TRUE`.

- Also when calculating the intervals for `rxode2` simulated object
  you can also use `mean="binom"` to use the binomial distributional
  information (and ci) for the first level of confidence using
  `binomProbs()`.  For this confidence interval you can override the
  `n` used in the confidence interval by using `n=#`. You can also
  change this to a prediction interval instead using `pred=TRUE`. With
  `pred=TRUE` you can override the number of predicted samples with
  `m=#`

- When plotting the `confint` derived intervals from an `rxode2`
  simulation, you can now subset based on a simulated value like
  `plot(ci, Cc)` which will only plot the variable `Cc` that you
  summarized even if you also summarized `eff` (for instance).

- When the rxode2 ui is a compressed ui object, you can modify the ini
  block with `$ini <-` or modify the model block with `$model <-`.
  These are equivalent to `ini(model) <-` and `model(model) <-`,
  respectively. Otherwise, the object is added to the user defined
  components in the function (ie `$meta`).  When the object is
  uncompressed, it simply assigns it to the environment instead (just
  like before).

- When printing meta information that happens to be a `lotri`
  compatible matrix, use `lotri` to express it instead of the default
  R expression.

- Allow character vectors to be converted to expressions for piping
  (#552)

- `rxAppendModel()` will now take an arbitrary number of models and
  append them together; It also has better handling of models with
  duplicate parameters and models without `ini()` blocks (#617 / #573
  / #575).

- `keep` will now also keep attributes of the input data (with special
  handling for `levels`); This means a broader variety of classes will
  be kept carrying more information with it (for example ordered
  factors, data frame columns with unit information, etc)

- Piping arguments `append` for `ini()` and `model()` have been
  aligned to perform similarly.  Therefore `ini(append=)` now can take
  expressions instead of simply strings and `model(append=)` can also
  take strings.  Also model piping now can specify the integer line
  number to be modified just like the `ini()` could.  Also
  `model(append=FALSE)` has been changed to `model(append=NULL)`.
  While the behavior is the same when you don't specify the argument,
  the behavior has changed to align with `ini()` when piping.  Hence
  `model(append=TRUE)` will append and `model(append=FALSE)` will now
  pre-pend to the model.  `model(append=NULL)` will modify lines like
  the behavior of `ini(append=NULL)`.  The default of `model(line)`
  modifying a line in-place still applies.  While this is a breaking
  change, most code will perform the same.

- Labels can now be dropped by `ini(param=label(NULL))`. Also
  parameters can be dropped with the idiom `model(param=NULL)` or
  `ini(param=NULL)` changes the parameter to a covariate to align with
  this idiom of dropping parameters

- `rxRename` has been refactored to run faster

## Internal new features

- Add `as.model()` for list expressions, which implies `model(ui) <-
  ui$lstExpr` will assign model components.  It will also more
  robustly work with character vectors

- Simulated objects from `rxSolve` now can access the model variables
  with `$rxModelVars`

- Simulation models from the UI now use `rxerr.endpoint` instead of
  `err.endpoint` for the `sigma` residual error.  This is to align
  with the convention that internally generated variables start with
  `rx` or `nlmixr`

- Sorting only uses timsort now, and was upgraded to the latest
  version from Morwenn

## Bug fixes

- Simulating/solving from functions/ui now prefers params over `omega`
  and `sigma` in the model (#632)

- Piping does not add constants to the initial estimates

- When constants are specified in the `model({})` block (like `k <- 1`), they will not
  be  to the `ini` block

- Bug fix for `geom_amt()` when the `aes` transformation has `x`

- Bug fix for some covariate updates that may affect multiple compartment
  models (like issue #581)

## Maintenance fixes

- Modify plot code to work with development `xgxr`

# rxode2 2.0.14

- CRAN requested that FORTRAN `kind` be changed as it was not portable;
  This was commented code, and simply removed the comment.

- Bug-fix for `geom_amt()`; also now uses `linewidth` and at least `ggplot2 3.4.0`

- Some documentation was cleaned up from `rxode2` 2.0.13

# rxode2 2.0.13

## Bug fixes

- A bug was fixed so that the `zeroRe()` function works with correlated omega
  values.

- A bug was fixed so that the `rename()` function works with initial
  conditions for compartments (`cmt(0)`)

## New features

- A new function `zeroRe()` allows simple setting of omega and/or sigma values
  to zero for a model (#456)

- Diagonal zeros in the `omega` and `sigma` matrices are treated as
  zeros in the model. The corresponding `omega` and `sigma` matrices
  drop columns/rows where the diagonals are zero to create a new
  `omega` and `sigma` matrix for simulation.  This is the same idiom
  that NONMEM uses for simulation from these matrices.

- Add the ability to pipe model estimates from another model by
  `parentModel %>% ini(modelWithNewEsts)`

- Add the ability to append model statements with piping using `%>%
  model(x=3, append=d/dt(depot))`, still supports appending with
  `append=TRUE` and pre-pending with `append=NA` (the default is to
  replace lines with `append=FALSE`)

- rxSolve's keep argument will now maintain character and factor classes from
  input data with the same class (#190)

- Parameter labels may now be modified via `ini(param = label("text"))` (#351).

- Parameter order may be modified via the `append` argument to `ini()`
  when piping a model.  For example, `ini(param = 1, append = 0)` or
  `ini(param = label("text"), append = "param2")` (#352).

## Internal changes

- If lower/upper bounds are outside the required bounds, the
  adjustment is displayed.

- When initial values are piped that break the model's boundary
  condition reset the boundary to unbounded and message which boundary
  was reset.

- Added `as.rxUi()` function to convert the following objects to
  `rxUi` objects: `rxode2`, `rxModelVars`, `function`.  Converting
  nlmixr2 fits to `rxUi` will be placed in the `s3` method in the
  corresponding package.

- `assertRxUi(x)` now uses `as.rxUi()` so that it can be extended
  outside of `rxode2`/`nlmixr2`.

- `rxode2` now supports `addl` with `ss` doses

- Moved `rxDerived` to `rxode2parse` (and re-exported it here).

- Added test for transit compartment solving in absence of dosing to the
  transit compartment (fixed in `rxode2parse` but solving tested
  here)

- Using `ini()` without any arguments on a `rxode2` type function will
  return the `ini()` block.  Also added a method `ini(mod) <-
  iniBlock` to modify the `ini` block is you wish.  `iniBlock` should
  be an expression.

- Using `model()` without any arguments on a `rxode2` type function
  will return the `model()` block.  Also added a new method
  `model(mod) <- modelBlock`

- Added a new method `rxode2(mod) <- modFunction` which allows
  replacing the function with a new function while maintaining the
  meta information about the ui (like information that comes from
  `nonmem2rx` models).  The `modFunction` should be the body of the
  new function, the new function, or a new `rxode2` ui.

- `rxode2` ui objects now have a `$sticky` item inside the internal
  (compressed) environment.  This `$sticky` tells what variables to
  keep if there is a "significant" change in the ui during piping or
  other sort of model change.  This is respected during model piping,
  or modifying the model with `ini(mod)<-`, `model(mod)<-`,
  `rxode2(mod)<-`.  A significant change is a change in the model
  block, a change in the number of estimates, or a change to the value
  of the estimates.  Estimate bounds, weather an estimate is fixed or
  estimate label changes are not considered significant.

- Added `as.ini()` method to convert various formats to an ini
  expression.  It is used internally with `ini(mod)<-`.  If you want to
  assign something new that you can convert to an ini expression, add
  a method for `as.ini()`.

- Added `as.model()` method to convert various formats to a model
  expression.  It is used internally with `model(mod)<-`.  If you want to
  assign something new that you can convert to a model expression, add
  a method for `as.model()`.

# rxode2 2.0.11

- Give a more meaningful error for 'rxode2' ui models with only error
  expressions

- Break the ABI requirement between `roxde2()` and `rxode2parse()`

- The new `rxode2parse` will fix the `sprintf` exclusion shown on CRAN.

# rxode2 2.0.10

- Time invariant covariates can now contain 'NA' values.

- When a column has 'NA' for the entire id, now 'rxode2' warns about
  both the id and column instead of just the id.

- To fix some CRAN issues in 'nlmixr2est', make the version dependency
  explicit.

# rxode2 2.0.9

- Remove log likelihoods from 'rxode2' to reduce compilation time and
  increase maintainability of 'rxode2'. They were transferred to
  'rxode2ll' (requested by CRAN).

- Remove the parsing from 'rxode2' and solved linear compartment code
  and move to 'rxode2parse' to reduce the compilation time (as requested
  by CRAN).

- Remove the random number generation from 'rxode2' and move to
  'rxode2random' to reduce the compilation time (as requested by
  CRAN).

- Remove the event table translation and generation from 'rxode2' and
  move to 'rxode2et' to reduce the compilation time (as requested by
  CRAN).

- Change the `rxode2` ui object so it is a compressed, serialized
  object by default.  This could reduce the `C stack size` problem
  that occurs with too many environments in R.

- Warn when ignoring items during simulations

- Export a method to change 'rxode2' solve methods into internal integers

- Bug fix for time invariant covariates identified as time variant
  covariate when the individual's time starts after `0`.

# rxode2 2.0.8

## Breaking changes

- `rxgamma` now only allows a `rate` input.  This aligns with the
  internal `rxode2` version of `rxgamma` and clarifies how this will
  be used. It is also aligned with the `llikGamma` function used for
  generalized likelihood estimation.

- ui `cauchy` simulations now follow the ui for `normal` and `t`
  distributions, which means you can combine with transformations.
  This is because the `cauchy` is a `t` distribution with one degree
  of freedom.

- ui `dnorm()` and `norm()` are no longer equivalent to `add()`.  Now
  it allows you to use the loglik `llikNorm()` instead of the standard
  `nlmixr2` style focei likelihood.  This is done by adding `dnorm()`
  at the end of the line.  It also means `dnorm()` now doesn't take
  any arguments.

- Vandercorput normal removed (non-random number generator)

## New features

- Allow models in the `nlmixr2` form without an `ini({})` block

- Allow model piping of an omega matrix by `f %>% ini(omegaMatrix)`

- Standard models created with `rxode2()` can no be piped into a model function

- Families of log-likelihood were added to `rxode2` so that mixed
  likelihood nonlinear mixed effects models may be specified and run.

- The memory footprint of a `rxode2` solving has been reduced

- Piping now allow named strings (issue #249)

## Bug fixes

- `rxode2`'s symengine would convert `sqrt(2)` to `M_SQRT_2` when it
  should be `M_SQRT2`.  This has been fixed; it was most noticeable in
  nlmixr2 log-likelihood estimation methods

- `rxode2` treats `DV` as a non-covariate with `etTran` (last time it
  would duplicate if it is in the model).  This is most noticeable in
  the nlmixr2 log-likelihood estimation methods.

## New features

- A new flag (`rxFlag`) has been created to tell you where in the
  `rxode2` solving process you are.  This is useful for debugging. If
  outputting this variable it will always be `11` or calculating the
  left handed equations.  If you are using in conjunction with the
  `printf()` methods, it is a double variable and should be formatted
  with `"%f"`.

- An additional option of `fullPrint` has been added to `rxode2()`
  which allows `rprintf()` to be used in almost all of `rxode2()`
  steps (inductive linearization and matrix exponential are the
  exception here) instead of just the integration `ddt` step.  It
  defaults to `FALSE`.

# rxode2 2.0.7

- Removed accidental `^S` from news as requested by CRAN.

- Bug fix for more complicated mu-referencing.

- Change rxode2 md5 to only depend on the C/C++/Fortran code and
  headers not the R files.  That way if there is binary compatibility
  between `nlmixr2est` and `rxode2`, a new version of `nlmixr2est`
  will not need to be submitted to CRAN.

# rxode2 2.0.6

## Breaking changes

### Solving controls

* The options for `rxControl` and `rxSolve` are more strict.
  `camelCase` is now always used.  Old options like `add.cov` and
  `transit_abs` are no longer supported, only `addCov` is supported.

* A new option, `sigdig` has been added to `rxControl()`, which
  controls some of the more common significant figure options like
  `atol`, `rtol`, `ssAtol`, `ssRtol`, with a single option.

### Simulations

* For simulations, `$simulationSigma` now assumes a diagonal matrix.
  The sigma values are assumed to be standard normal, and uncorrelated
  between endpoints.  Simulation with uncertainty will still draw from
  this identity diagonal matrix

* Parallel solving now seeds each simulation per each individual based
    on the initial seed plus the simulation id.  This makes the
    simulation reproducible regardless of the number of cores running
    the simulation.

### Other breaking changes

* Solved objects now access the underlying rxode model with `$rxode2`
  instead of `$rxode`

* Since this change names, `rxode2`, `rxode` and `RxODE` all perform
  the same function.

* Options were changed from `RxODE.syntax` to `rxode2.syntax`.

* Assigning states with `rxode2.syntax.assign.state` (was
  `RxODE.syntax.assign.state`) is no longer supported.

* Enforcing "pure" assignment syntax with `=` syntax is no longer
  supported so `rxode2.syntax.assign` is no longer supported (was
  `RxODE.syntax.assign`).

* Since R supports `**` as an exponentiation operator, the pure syntax
  without `**` can no longer be enabled. Hence
  `rxode2.syntax.star.pow` (was `RxODE.syntax.star.pow`) no longer has
  any effect.

* The "pure" syntax that requires a semicolon can no longer be
  enabled.  Therefore `rxode2.syntax.require.semicolon` (was
  `RxODE.syntax.require.semicolon`) no longer has any effect.

* The syntax `state(0)` can no longer be turned
  off. `rxode2.syntax.allow.ini0` (was `RxODE.syntax.allow.ini0`) has
  been removed.

* Variable with dots in variable and state names like
  `state.name` works in R. Therefore, "pure" syntax of excluding `.` values
  from variables cannot be enforced with `rxode2.syntax.allow.dots`
  (was `RxODE.syntax.allow.dots`).

* The mnemonic `et(rate=model)` and `et(dur=model)` mnemonics have
  been removed.  `rate` needs to be set to `-1` and `-2` manually instead.

* The function `rxode2Test()` has been removed in favor of using testthat
  directly.

* Transit compartments need to use a new `evid`, `evid=7`.  That being
  said, the `transitAbs` option is no longer supported.

* `ID` columns in input parameter data frames are not sorted or merged
  with original dataset any more; The underlying assumption of ID
  order should now be checked outside of `rxode2()`.  Note that the
  event data frame is still sorted.

## Additional features

* The UI functions of `nlmixr` have been ported to work in `rxode2`
  directly.

* `rxModelVars({})` is now supported.

* You may now combine 2 models in `rxode2` with `rxAppendModel()`. In
  fact, as long as the first value is a rxode2 evaluated ui model, you can
  use  `c`/`rbind` to bind 2 or more models together.

* You may now append model lines with piping using `%>% model(lines,
  append=TRUE)` you can also pre-pend lines by `%>% model(lines,
  append=NA)`

* You may now rename model variables, states and defined parameters
  with `%>% rxRename(new=old)` or if `dplyr` is loaded: `%>%
  rename(new=old)`

* You can fix parameters with `%>% ini(tcl=fix)` or `%>% ini(fix(tcl))` as well as unfix parameters with
  `%>% ini(tcl=unfix)` or `%>% ini(unfix(tcl))`

## Internal changes

* Strict R headers are enforced more places

* Since there are many changes that could be incompatible, this
  version has been renamed to `rxode2`

* `rxode2()` printout no longer uses rules and centered headings to
  make it display better on a larger variety of systems.

## Bug fixes

* `tad()` and related time features only reset at the start of an
  infusion (as opposed to starting at the beginning and end of an
  infusion)

# RxODE 1.1.3

* Change handling of missing covariates while interpolating "nocb" so
  that the time-varying covariates use "nocb" interpolation (#469)

# RxODE 1.1.2

* Fix subject initialization of `focei` problem (#464)

* Fix LHS offset to allow internal threading and more parallel
  processing in the future.

* Remove warnings for duration and rate

* Don't export pillar methods any more (simply register at load if present)

* As requested by CRAN, change fortran and C binding for BLAS an LINPACK

# RxODE 1.1.1

* Fix the LTO issue that CRAN identified.

* Move the omp files so they come first to support clang13, as identified by CRAN.

* For now, be a little more conservative in `dur()` and `rate()`
  warnings because `linCmt()` models in `nlmixr` currently produce
  irrelevant warnings.

# RxODE 1.1.0

* Always calculate "nolhs" for using numeric differences when the
  inner problem. This allows the inner problem to fallback to a finite
  difference approximation to the focei objective function.

* Updated the parser C code grammar using latest dparser CRAN package

* Added a new cbind function that is used to mix data frame input with
  simulated individual parameters and residual parameters,
  `rxCbindStudyIndividual()`.

* Now data frame input can be mixed with simulating from omega and
  sigma matrices (though not yet in nested simulations)

* Race conditions when simulating random numbers is solved by chunking
  each simulation into groups that will always be performed per each
  thread.  This way the simulation is now reproducible regardless of
  load.  Because of the chunking, simulations with random numbers generated
  inside of it are now threaded by default (though a warning is
  produced about the simulation only be reproducible when run with the
  same number of threads)

* Simulations were double checked and made sure to use the engine
  reserved for each core run in parallel; Some of the random
  generators were not taking random numbers from the correct engine,
  which was corrected.  Therefore, simulations from this version are
  expected to be different (in parallel) than previous versions.

* Added function `rxSetSeed()` to set the internal RxODE seed instead
  of grabbing it from a uniform random number tied to the original R
  seed.  This will avoid the possibility of [duplicate
  seeds](https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2016/01/29/random-number-generator-seed-mistakes/)
  and is the best practice.

* Updating parameter pointers is done once per ID and locked based on
  ID to remove the recursion in #399, but still have the correct
  behavior see #430

* Parsing updated to retain "param()" in normalized model, #432.

* Handle edge case of interpolation at first index correctly, fixes #433

* Instead of storing each dose information sequentially, store dose
  information at the same index of the `evid` defining the dose.  This
  memory rewrite is to fix the issue #435.

* Start using strict headers as it is required for the forthcoming
  release of `Rcpp`.  Thanks to Dirk Eddelbuettel for some of the
  fixes and alerting us to this change.

* Check arguments for `add.dosing()` more strictly. See Issue #441

* Issue a warning when either `dur()` or `rate()` is in the model but
  the modeled rate and duration is not included in the event table.

* When the data requires a modeled rate and modeled duration but it is
  not in the model, warn about the mismatch in data

* Added a back-door for debugging. If you specify
  `options(RxODE.debug=TRUE)` then each solve saves the solving
  information to the file `"last-rxode.qs"` before actually solving
  the system.

* Only will try to solve RxODE problems on compatible models; If the
  model is not supported it will throw an error instead of crashing
  (See #449)

* Turn off parallel ODE solving whenever the system needs to sort
  times based on model dosing.  Currently this type of solving is not
  thread safe.

* Update timsort headers to latest version.

# RxODE 1.0.9

* At the request of CRAN, stripping the debugging symbols for the CRAN
  release is no longer performed.  This means a larger binary size for
  RxODE in this release.

* At the request of CRAN the `liblsoda` code has been changed so that
  the memory in C defined by `_C()` is now defined by `_rxC()`. This
  will be seen in some of the error messages, which will no longer
  match the error messages of unmodified liblsoda.

* `iCov` behavior has shifted to merge on the input event dataset.
  See Issue #409; This is more in line with expectations of `iCov`
  behavior, and reduces the amount of code needed to maintain `iCov`.

  The `iCov` in the pipeline is no longer supported because it simply
  is a merge with the event dataset.

  This can be a breaking change depending on the code you use.  Note
  that clinical trial simulations, resampling is likely better than
  trying to fill out `iCov` for every individual which was the prior
  use.

* Bug fix for crashes with string covariates or factor covariates,
  issue #410. Also factor column names are compared with case
  insensitivity just like the rest of the column names for event
  tables or data sets in `RxODE`.

# RxODE 1.0.8

* Fix issue #399

# RxODE 1.0.7

* Change syntax vignette to use markdown option
  `screenshot.force=FALSE`.  This should get rid of the `webshot`
  error

* Change to depend on dparser 1.3.0, which has some memory fixes

# RxODE 1.0.6

* RxODE imports but does not link to `checkmate` any longer.  This change
   should make recompilation of RxODE to work with different releases
   of `checkmate` unnecessary.

* Default Solaris solver changed back to "lsoda"

* Fix Bug #393, where in certain circumstances `rxSolve(...,theta=)`
  did not solve for all subjects.

* Will not ignore NEWS and README when building the package so that
  they will show up on CRAN.  You can also access the news by
  `news(package="RxODE")`

* Changed `ODR` model names from time id to `_rx` followed by the
  `md5` hash id and a per-session counter id; For packages the id is
  `_rxp` followed by the `md5` hash and a per-session counter id.

* Changed `qs` to be more conservative in hash creation. Add a check
  hash as well as NOT using altrep stringfish representation.

# RxODE 1.0.5

* Maintenance release -- use `std::floor` and cast variables to
  `double` for internal C functions.  This should allow a successful
  compile on Solaris CRAN.

* Changed `units` from an Imports to a Suggests to allow testing on
  Solaris rhub

* Changed `ODR` model names from time id to `_rx` followed by the
  `md5` hash id; For packages the id is `_rxp` followed by the `md5`
  hash.

* Removed AD linear compartment solutions for Windows R 3.6, though
  they still work for Windows R 4.0 (You can get them back for Windows
  R 3.6 if you install `BH` 1.66.0-1 and then recompile from source).

   - This will cause `nlmixr` to fail with solved systems on Windows 3.6.
     Currently the Stan Headers do not compile on this system so they are
     disabled at this time.

 * RxODE imports but does not link to `qs` any longer; This change
   should make recompilation of RxODE to work with different releases
   of `qs` unnecessary.

 * RxODE now checks for binary compatibility for `Rcpp`, `dparser`,
   `checkmate`, and `PreciseSums`

# RxODE 1.0.4
## Breaking changes

* RxODE can only use supported functions (could be breaking); You may
  add your own functions with `rxFun` and their derivatives with `rxD`

* RxODE now uses its own internal truncated multivariate normal
  simulations based on the threefry sitmo library.  Therefore random
  numbers generated within `RxODE` like providing
  `rxSolve(...,omega=)` will have different results with this new
  random number generator.  This was done to allow internal re-sampling
  of sigmas/etas with thread-safe random number generators (calling R
  through `mvnfast` or R's simulation engines are not thread safe).

* `RxODE` now moved the precise sum/product type options for `sum()`
  and `prod()` to `rxSolve` or `rxControl`

* `cvPost` now will returned a named list of matrices if the input
  matrix was named

* `rxSolve` will now return an integer `id` instead of a factor `id`
  when `id` is integer or integerish (as defined by checkmate).
  Otherwise a factor will be returned.

* When mixing ODEs and `linCmt()` models, the `linCmt()` compartments
  are 1 and possibly 2 instead of right after the last internal ODE.
  This is more aligned with how PK/PD models are typically defined.

* `EVID=3` and `EVID=4` now (possibly) reset time as well.  This
  occurs when the input dataset is sorted before solving.

* When `EVID=2` is present, an `evid` column is output to distinguish
  `evid=0` and `evid=2`

## New features

* Add the ability to order input parameters with the `param()`
  pseudo-function

* Add the ability to resample covariates with `resample=TRUE` or
  `resample=c("SEX", "CRCL")`.  You can resample all the covariates by
  `ID` with `resampleID=TRUE` or resample the covariates without
  respect to `ID` with `resampleID=FALSE`

* Comparison of factors/strings is now supported in `RxODE`; Therefore
  ID=="Study-1" is now allowed.

* Completion for elements of `rxSolve()` objects, and `et()`
  objects have been added (accessed through `$`)

* Completion of `rxSolve()` arguments are now included since they are
  part of the main method

* Allow simulation with zero matrices, that provide the simulation
  without variability.  This affects `rxSolve` as well as `rxMvnrnd` and
  `cvPost` (which will give a zero matrix whenever one is specified)

* `et()` can dose with `length(amt) > 1` as long as the other
  arguments can create a event table.

* Rstudio notebook output makes more sense

* Printing upgraded to cli 2.0

* Caching of internal C data setup is now supported increasing speed
  of `optim` code when:
  - Event Table doesn't change
  - The size of the parameters doesn't change
  - `inits` do not change (though you can specify them as `cmt(0)=...`
    in the model and change them by parameters)
  - See Issue #109

* Allow `while(logical)` statements with ability to break out if them
  by `break`. The while has an escape valve controlled by `maxwhere`
  which by default is 10000 iterations. It can be change with
  `rxSolve(..., maxwhere = NNN)`

* Allow accessing different time-varying components of an input
  dataset for each individual with:

  - `lag(var, #)`
  - `lead(var, #)`
  - `first(var)`
  - `last(var)`
  - `diff(var)`

Each of these are similar to the R `lag`, `lead`, `first`, `last` and
`diff`.  However when undefined, it returns `NA`

* Allow sticky left-handed side of the equation; This means for an
  observation the left handed values are saved for the next
  observations and then reassigned to the last calculated value.

  This allows NONMEM-style of calculating parameters like tad:

```r
mod1 <-RxODE({
    KA=2.94E-01;
    CL=1.86E+01;
    V2=4.02E+01;
    Q=1.05E+01;
    V3=2.97E+02;
    Kin=1;
    Kout=1;
    EC50=200;
    C2 = centr/V2;
    C3 = peri/V3;
    d/dt(depot) =-KA*depot;
    d/dt(centr) = KA*depot - CL*C2 - Q*C2 + Q*C3;
    d/dt(peri)  =                    Q*C2 - Q*C3;
    d/dt(eff)  = Kin - Kout*(1-C2/(EC50+C2))*eff;
    if (!is.na(amt)){
        tdose <- time
    } else {
        tad <- time - tdose
    }
})
```

It is still simpler to use:

```r
mod1 <-RxODE({
    KA=2.94E-01;
    CL=1.86E+01;
    V2=4.02E+01;
    Q=1.05E+01;
    V3=2.97E+02;
    Kin=1;
    Kout=1;
    EC50=200;
    C2 = centr/V2;
    C3 = peri/V3;
    d/dt(depot) =-KA*depot;
    d/dt(centr) = KA*depot - CL*C2 - Q*C2 + Q*C3;
    d/dt(peri)  =                    Q*C2 - Q*C3;
    d/dt(eff)  = Kin - Kout*(1-C2/(EC50+C2))*eff;
    tad <- time - tlast
})
```
If the `lhs` parameters haven't been defined yet, they are `NA`

* Now the NONMEM-style `newind` flag can be used to initialize `lhs`
  parameters.

* Added `tad()`, `tad(cmt)` functions for time since last dose and time
  since last dose for a compartment; Also added time after first dose
  and time after first dose for a compartment `tafd()`, `tafd(cmt)`;
  time of last dose `tlast()`, `tlast(cmt)` and dose number
  `dosenum()` (currently not for each compartment)

* Changed linear solved systems to use "advan" style `linCmt()`
  solutions, to allow correct solutions of time-varying covariates
  values with solved systems; As such, the solutions may be slightly
  different.  Infusions to the depot compartment are now supported.


* Added sensitivity auto-differentiation of `linCmt()` solutions.
  This allows sensitivities of `linCmt()` solutions and enables
  `nlmixr` focei to support solved systems.
  - One solution is to use Stan's auto-differentiation which requires
    `C++14`

* When calculating the empirical Bayesian estimates for with `rxInner`
  (used for nlmixr's 'focei') ignore any variable beginning with `rx_`
  and `nlmixr_` to hide internal variables from table output.  This
  also added `tad=tad()` and `dosenum=dosenum()` to the `ebe` output
  allowing grouping by id, dose number and use TAD for individual plot
  stratification.

* Added ability to prune branching with `rxPrune`. This converts
  `if`/`else` or `ifelse` to single line statements without any
  `if`/`then` branching within them.

* Added ability to take more complex conditional expressions, including:
  - `ifelse(expr, yes, no)`
  - `x = (x==1)*1 + (!(x==1))*2`
  - `if (logic){ expr} else if (logic) {expr} else {}`.  The preferred
    syntax is still only `if`/`else` and the corresponding parsed code
    reflects this preference.
    - Note `ifelse` is not allowed as an ODE compartment or a variable.

* Switched to `symengine` instead of using `sympy`
  - Remove dependence on python.
  - Since symengine is C-based and doesn't require the python
    interface it is much faster than `sympy`, though some functions in
    `sympy` are no longer accessible.
  - Also symengine requires R 3.6, so now RxODE requires R 3.6

* Added new ODE solving method "indLin", or inductive linearization.
  When the full model is a linear ODE system this becomes simply the
  matrix exponential solution.  Currently this requires a different
  setup.

* Added arbitrary function definition to RxODE using `rxFun`
  - Requires function, arguments and corresponding C-code
  - Derivatives (if required) can be added to the derivative table
    `rxD`.  When taking deviates without a derivative function, RxODE
    will use numerical differences.

* Will error if RxODE does not know of a function that you are trying
  to use; This could be a breaking change.  Currently:
  - C's functions from `math.h` are supported
  - R's function returning and taking doubles are supported
  - Other functions can be added using `rxFun` and `rxD`

* Added `NA`, `NaN`, `Inf` and `+Inf` handling to a RxODE model.  Can
  be useful to diagnose problems in models and provide alternate
  solutions. In addition, added R-like functions `is.nan`, `is.na`,
  `is.finite` and `is.infinite` which can be called within the RxODE
  block.

* Allowed the following data variables can be accessed (but not
  assigned or used as a state):
  - `cmt`
  - `dvid`
  - `addl`
  - `ss`
  - `amt`
  - `rate`
  - `id` which requires calling the id as factor `ID=="1"` for
    instance.

* Kept `evid` and `ii` as restricted items since they are not part of
  the covariate table and are restricted in use.

* Added the following random number generators; They are thread safe
  (based on `threefry` `sitmo` and c++11) and your simulations with
  them will depend on the number of cores used in your simulation (Be
  careful about reproducibility with large number of threads; Also
  use parallel-solve type of RxODE simulations to avoid the [birthday
  problem](https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2016/01/29/random-number-generator-seed-mistakes/)).


  During ODE solving, the values of these are `0`, but while
  calculating the final output the variable is randomized at least for
  every output. These are:

  - `rxnorm()` and `rxnormV()` (low discrepancy normal)
  - `rxcauchy()`
  - `rxchisq()`
  - `rxexp()`
  - `rxf()`
  - `rxgamma()`
  - `rxbeta()`
  - `rxgeom()`
  - `rxpois()`
  - `rxt()`
  - `rxunif()`
  - `rxweibull()`

  In addition, while initializing the system, the following values are
  simulated and retained for each individual:

  - `rinorm()` and `rinormV()` (low discrepancy normal)
  - `ricauchy()`
  - `richisq()`
  - `riexp()`
  - `rif()`
  - `rigamma()`
  - `ribeta()`
  - `rigeom()`
  - `ripois()`
  - `rit()`
  - `riunif()`
  - `riweibull()`

* Added `simeta()` which simulates a new `eta` when called based
  on the possibly truncated normal `omega` specified by the original
  simulation.  This simulation occurs at the same time as the ODE is
  initialized or when an ODE is missing, before calculating the final
  output values.  The `omega` will reflect whatever study is being simulated.

*  Added `simeps()` which simulates a new `eps` from the possibly
  truncated normal `sigma` at the same time as calculating the final
  output values. Before this time, the `sigma` variables are zero.

  All these change the solving to single thread by default to make sure the
  simulation is reproducible. With high loads/difficult problems the
  random number generator may be on a different thread and give a
  different number than another computer/try.

  Also please note that the `clang` and `gcc` compiler use different
  methods to create the more complex random numbers.  Therefore
  `MacOS` random numbers will be different than `Linux`/`Windows` at
  this time (with the exception of uniform numbers).

  These numbers are still non-correlated random numbers (based on the
  sitmo test) with the exception of the vandercorput distributions, so
  if you increase the number of threads (cores=...) the results should
  still be valid, though maybe harder to reproduce.  The faster the
  random number generation, the more likely these results will be
  reproduced across platforms.

* Added the ability to integrate standard deviations/errors of omega
  diagonals and sigma diagonals.  This is done by specifying the omega
  diagonals in the theta matrix and having them represent the
  variabilities or standard deviations. Then these standard deviations
  are simulated along with the correlations using the IJK correlation
  matrix (omega dimension < 10) or a correlation matrix or Inverse
  Wishart-based correlation matrix (omega dimension > 10).  The
  information about how to simulate this is in the variability
  simulation vignette.

* Now have a method to use `lotri` to simulate between occasion
  variability and other levels of nesting.

* Added lower gamma functions See Issue #185

* Upgraded comparison sort to timsort 2.0.1

* Changed in-place sort to a modified radix sort from
  `data.table`.  The radix search was modified to:
 - Work directly with `RxODE` internal solved structures
 - Assume no infinite values or `NA`/`NaN` values of time
 - Always sort time in ascending order
 - Changed sorting to run in a single thread instead of taking over
   all the threads like data.table

* Changed method for setting/getting number of threads based on
  `data.table`'s method

* Added function `rxDerived` which will calculate derived parameters
  for 1, 2, and 3 compartment models

* More descriptive errors when types of input are different than expected

## Engine changes

* Moved many C functions to C++.  CRAN OpenMP support requires C++
  only when C and C++ are mixed.  See:

  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54056594/cran-acceptable-way-of-linking-to-openmp-some-c-code-called-from-rcpp

* No longer produces C code that create the model variables. Instead,
  use `qs` to serialize, compress and encode in base91 and then write
  the string into the C file. The `qs` package then decodes all of
  that into the model variables.  This also increases the compilation
  speed for models in RxODE.

* Pre-compile RxODE headers once (if cache is enabled), which
  increases compilation speed for models in RxODE

* `RxODE`'s translation from the mini-language to C has been refactored

## Bug fixes:
 - Occasionally RxODE misidentified dual `lhs`/`param` values.  An
   additional check is performed so that this does not happen.

 - For solved matrices with similar names (like "tadd" and "tad")
   RxODE will now prefer exact matches instead of the first match
   found when accessing the items with `$tad`.

 - A fix where all ID information is kept with `keep=c(""..."")`

 - Transit compartment models using the `transit` ODE or variable are
   now allowed.  Also check for more internally parsed items (see
   Issue #145).

 - Bug fix for `etSeq` and `etRep` where greater than 2 items were
   mis-calculated

# RxODE v0.9.2-0
* New plotting engine
* Various bug fixes for upcoming R 4.0 release:
  - Dropped some imports for 21 imports restriction
  - Fixed incompatibility with new `ggplot2` 3.3.0
  - Fixed allowing `NA`s in RxODE dataset
  - Fixed setting all compartment default values for bioavailability, rate, etc.
  - Added additional protection against floating point -> NaN for power functions

# RxODE v0.9.1-9
* Minor namespace/documentation changes for R 4.0 compatibility

# RxODE v0.9.1-8
* Added the ability to have an input parameter to be assigned to a new
  value (Issue #135)
* Added LINPACK authors as contributors
* Added a `NEWS.md` file to track changes to the package
