# LMMsolver 1.0.5.9000

-   A new argument `grpTheta` for `LMMsolve()` to give components in the model the same penalty. 
-   The dependency package `sp` is replaced by `sf`.
-   A small bug for models with more than 10.000 observations and only a numeric variable in the random part of the model is fixed.
-   Weights are now checked for missing values after removing observations with missing values in response. This prevents spurious errors when both response and weight are missing.

# LMMsolver 1.0.5

-   Small bugs in assignment of names to fixed model coefficients when columns were dropped from the model are fixed.  
-   Calculation of standard errors for coefficients, with `coef(obj, se = TRUE)`.
-   Implementation of Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) with additional argument `family` in `LMMsolve` function.
-   Variance components and splines can be conditional on a factor. For variance components, this is implemented in the `cf(var, cond, level)` function. For 1D and 2D splines, additional arguments `cond` and `level` are added. 
-   Several small bugs fixed. 

# LMMsolver 1.0.4

-   Improved computation time for calculation of standard errors. Implementation in C++ and using the 'sparse inverse'. 
-   Row-wise Kronecker product for `spam` matrices implemented in C++. Important for tensor product P-splines with improved computation time and memory allocation.  

# LMMsolver 1.0.3

-   Improved computation time and memory allocation, especially important for big data with many observations (the number of rows in the data frame).
-   Replaced the default `model.matrix` function by `Matrix::sparse.model.matrix` to generate sparse design matrices.
-   In function `obtainSmoothTrend` the standard errors are only calculated if `includeIntercept = TRUE`. 
-   Several small bugs fixed.

# LMMsolver 1.0.2

-   First and second order derivatives are now calculated correctly.
-   Several small bugs fixed.
-   Updated tests to pass checks on macM1.

# LMMsolver 1.0.1

-   `weights` argument in LMMsolve function added
-   Function `obtainSmoothTrend` returns in addition to the predictions the standard errors.
-   Generalized Additive Model (GAM) added for one-dimensional splines, i.e. more `spl1D()` components can be added to the `spline` argument of LMMsolve function
-   Improved efficiency of calculating the sparse inverse using super-nodes.
-   Replaced the original P-splines penalty `D'D` with a scaled version which is far more stable if there are many knots.    
-   Several bugs fixed.

# LMMsolver 1.0.0

-   Initial CRAN version
