Changes in version 2.10.5 BUG FIXES o corHMMDredge no longer proposes structurally invalid models during simulated annealing. The "drop" move could remove the last remaining free rate, producing an all-NA index matrix; this gave a no non-missing arguments to max warning and an invalid 'times' argument error, which was caught internally and so did not affect the returned models. Proposals are now checked at every rate category: a model must retain at least one free parameter and no state may be isolated (NA in both its row and its column). Irreversible models, in which a state has rates in only one direction, remain in the search space. corHMMDredgeBase now also rejects a degenerate rate.mat with an informative error. USER-VISIBLE CHANGES o Because invalid proposals are no longer generated, the random number stream during a dredge has changed. Runs using seed will not reproduce the trajectories of earlier versions. Dredges with hidden rate categories may also skip degenerate models they previously fit and accepted. Changes in version 2.7.1.4 USER-VISIBLE CHANGES o Equate/DropStateMatPars will take empty lists (and return the original matrix)
