Changes in version 0.99.6                        

  - Bugfix: Open MP was not working correctly because of missing
    compiler flags. For this reason, the Makevars file has been created.
  - Calculation of column ranks now uses matrixStats::colRanks instead
    of an apply statement with base::rank.

                       Changes in version 0.99.0                        

  - Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package. This is the
    first public version of the package.
