[R-pkgs] New version of the TraMineR package (1.8-2)

[Gilbert Ritschard]

Hi all,

It is our pleasure to announce that the new version 1.8-2 of TraMineR 
has been released on the CRAN.

Alongside the fixes of a series of small bugs and some speed 
improvements, the main changes are:

     - a new information display when creating state sequence object 
which permits
       better checking of the correspondence between alphabet, state 
names and labels;
     - representative sequences now can also account for case weights;
     - the group argument of seqplot() can now be a a list of variables;
     - new "from.start" and "from.end" values for the sortv argument of 
seqiplot;
     - the support of event subsequences can now be determined by any of 
Joshi's 5 counting methods.

See http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/TraMineR/NEWS  for a complete 
list of changes.

Additional functions currently in test may be available in our 
development version and/or the
TraMineRextras package on https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=743.

Best,

Gilbert, Alexis, Matthias and Nicolas
