The first version of the ismev package was Version 1.0, constructed on 2002/11/25. The changes that have occured in subsequent versions are given below. Vesion 1.2 (2006/03/10): The column name "Sea Level" in the portpirie and fremantle datasets has been changed to "SeaLevel" to prevent problems with inclusion in formula arguments to functions in other R packages. The Maintainer thanks Thomas Yee for this suggestion. The maintainer address has changed. Version 1.1 (2003/11/25): If the profile likelihood functions gev.prof or gev.profxi calculated the likelihood at a point where the shape parameter was at or very close to zero the functions would error due to a mistake in the R port. This has been fixed. The Maintainer thanks Simon Brown for reporting this bug.
