Changes in version 2.43.1                        

  - Updated package maintainer to Levi Waldron
    (lwaldron.research@gmail.com).
  - Refactored DESCRIPTION to use standard Authors@R fields, including
    maintainer ORCID and funding info (NCI 5U24CA180996).
  - Fixed invalid biocViews categories to strictly use acceptable
    ExperimentData terms.
  - Replaced the unnecessary affy dependency with Biobase in the package
    Suggests and the vignette.
  - Added a new CITATION file pointing to the 2018 Genome Biology
    meta-analysis paper (PMID: 30253799).
  - Initialized Git LFS to properly track .rda and .RData files.
  - Removed deprecated zzz.R warning.
  - Converted the vignette to RMarkdown (.Rmd).

                        Changes in version 1.0.0                        

  - Initial release of curatedCRCData, a comprehensive resource for
    clinically-oriented investigation of the colorectal cancer
    transcriptome.
  - It provides clinically-annotated expression data including The
    Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) RNASeqV2 and Agilent mRNA microarray
    datasets.
  - Probesets are mapped to official gene symbols using up-to-date maps.
  - All clinical annotations are hand-curated and machine-checked to
    ensure consistent syntax and maximum retention of available clinical
    variables.
  - ExpressionSet slots are populated with numerous metadata including
    PubMed IDs, citations, abstracts, study-specific warnings for
    retractions and duplicated samples, and probeset <--> gene maps.
  - The package vignette provides examples for selecting patients and
    datasets based on flexible rules, performing meta-analysis of
    potential biomarkers, creating publication-ready tables from
    ExpressionSet metadata, and simple exporting of data tables for non
    R-users.
