Version 1.4-3:
1. Pancreas cancer model, PancPRO, added to the package

Version 1.4-2:
1. MMRpro and brcapro prediction algorithm uses hazard function and accounts for death from other causes.
2. calc.future.risk function added.
3. make.BM.object function removed.
4. death.othercauses data set added.
5. MMRpro and brcapro output objects of class BayesMendel for use in generic plot function.

Version 1.4-1:
1. Changed all referenes of 'crcapro' to 'MMRpro'
2. Incorporated a new 3-gene version of 'MMRpro', Ngene.  Ngene completely replaces aveG and margene for both
brcapro and MMRpro.
3. Moved parameter specification part of MMRpro to MMRparams
4. Removed 'cancerrisk' and 'summary.cancerrisk' - now incorporated into 'brcapro'
5. Note the rows and columns of the posterior probability matrix for brcapro have been switched.
6. New .Rdata files 'MMRpenet' and 'MMR.fam' replace 'HNPCCpenet.2004' and 'crca.fam'.
7. Output for brcapro and MMRpro is now in list format
8. Function 'makeBMobject' added for enabling use of generic plot function to plot pedigree structure

Version 1.3-2:
1. Added generic 'plot' option to display pedigree structure and probabilities

Version 1.3-1:
1. Updated penetrance estimates for breast and ovarian cancers
2. Oophorectomy history can be included in the model
3. Molecular marker information can be included in the model

Version 1.2-5:
1. Fixed a typo in brcapro.R (It does not affect the calcuation though)
2. Added a patch (margenerec.c) so that BayesMendel can handle models
with recessive mode of inheritance. See the help file for aveG(),
which can now be specified to do recessive calculations. 
3. Replace Australian.R with LAMBDA.R, use the help file for LAMBDA() for details.

Version 1.2-4:
1. Fixed a bug in cancerrisk.R

Version 1.2-3:
1. Updated BRCApenet.AJ.2004 and BRCApenet.nonAJ.2004

Version 1.2-2:
1. Added in MakeRelationship.R
2. Added in BRCApenet.Italian.RData, the BRCA penetrance object for
the Italian population (Marroni 2004)
3. Added in Australian.R (Apicella 2003)
4. Improved the documentations 

Version 1.2-1:
1. Added in new BRCA penetrances for AJ and nonAJ (Chen 2004)
   BRCApenet.AJ.2004
   BRCApenet.nonAJ.2004
2. Updated HNPCCpenetrance
   HNPCCpenet.2004
3. Impoved documentation for the penetrance objects

Version 1.1-15: 
1. Improved output description (documentation)
2. Fixed the problem with endometrial cancer in CRCAPRO
