version 0.3.0: (2015-07-31)
- New slot BacthInfo in 'BASiCS_Data' class
- Batch-speficic technical variability parameters are allowed

graphical output)

version 0.3.1: (2015-09-17)
- New slot GeneNames in 'BASiCS_Data' class
- Changes in the constructor `newBASiCS_Data` to allow easier construction of 
`BASiCS_Data` objects
- Minor changes to some functions' output to use the new GeneNames slot of 
'BASiCS_Data' class

elements related to the parameter $\theta$)

This is helpful on situations where the default value led to slow mixing to 
the chains related to the normalising constants $\phi_j$'s.

- Same method as before but improved performance of C++ code

version 0.3.4: (2015-11-11)

optional use of `gamma` or `log-normal` priors for delta. 
- In `BASiCS_MCMC` function, change of default value of `s2.mu` to 0.5. Allows
better shrinkage in situations where a gene has zero counts across all cells.
- In `BASiCS_Data` class. Count matrices where a gene has zero counts across 
all cells are now allowed. However, a warning is returned in such case. 
Only use such matrices when running differential expression results.

chains with a variety of user-defined starting point. In general, we do not 
advise to use this argument as the default option has been tuned to 
facilitate convergence.

function (removing 'GeneNames' argument)
- Updated documentation for 'BASiCS_DV_TestDE' function.

version 0.99.12: (2017-10-17) 
- Update of NEWS with changes by @neling 
- Small typo fix in class validity from @neling last commit
- Changes in `BASiCS_Chain` and `BASiCS_Summary` classess to contain a single 
`list` slot where all parameters are stored. This allows greater flexibility 
to incorporate ongoing developments of BASiCS but does not affect user interface.

`BASiCS_DetectLVG`, `BASiCS_MCMC`, `BASiCS_TestDE`, `HiddenVarDecomp`, 
`newBASiCS_Chain` functions and all methods updated accordingly 
- `ChainSC` and `ChainRNA` example objects updated accordingly
- Unit tests updated accordingly
- Wiki page updated accordingly
- `updateObject` generic method imported from `BiocGenerics` 
- New generic methods definition moved to AllGenerics.R
- Change in class definition to store current packageVersion
- `BASiCS_LoadChain` function updated to deal with old class definition and
.txt storage.
- Shorter welcome message. 
- Sanity checks in `BASiCS_TestDE` moved to separate file. 
- Updated code indentation in `BASiCS_TestDE`
- Warning in `BASiCS_DetectHVG` and `BASiCS_DetectLVG` when user provides
posterior probability thresholds as input
- Unused argument removed from `HiddenEFDR` and `HiddenEFNR` functions
- Minor changes to pass R CMD check
- Check library passes R CMD BiocCheck
- Tidy up NAMESPACE
