[R-sig-genetics] adegenet 2.0.0 on CRAN!

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Dear all,
(sorry about the double-posting)

the new release of adegenet, 2.0.0, has hit the CRAN!

This is a major release with some breaking of backward compatibility, but it is all for the greater good.

You can find a list of the main changes in the ChangeLog:
 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/adegenet/ChangeLog

Amongst other things, here are some highlights:
- genind objects now allow different individuals to have different ploidy
- Zhian Kamvar has implemented hierarchical structure in genind and genlight objects
- the generic label system has been removed
- handling genind objects is now a lot easier and more powerful
- a bunch of new accessors to make your life easier
- better integration with hierfstat, pegas, and other packages

All of this is documented in tutorials. The main ones will be the basics, taking you through data structure, handling etc:

and the one on strata:

We are slowly moving the old website onto github. As of now, this is where you should be finding the most up-to-date infos:

Many thanks to the whole team (especially Zhian Kamvar and Roman Lustrik) for the last push to get this on CRAN.

All the best
Thibaut
