RcmdrPlugin.DoE 0.12-4 (2022-04-23)

• corrected bug in Menu.rsmmodel (led to unusable follow-up dialog when directly using coded designs)
• modified help to show the new ability (from DoE.base 0.21-2, FrF2 1.2-3 and DoE.wrapper 0.8-3) to also treat a fractional factorial with center points with response surface methods (interesting for steepest ascent etc.)

RcmdrPlugin.DoE 0.10-2 (2011-02-21)

• added more (redundant) possibilities for exporting to the Design menu in order to spare users the necessity to get oriented in the File menu

• current model information was not stored for linear models based on design
• a harmless warning was not suppressed in menuLinearModelDesign

• keep further settings in export, import and add response menus, especially in case of errors, so that corrections can be made more comfortably
• small layout changes to Estimable Model tab for regular 2-level fractional factorials

• improvement for this situation: indication that search is in progress in the output window

RcmdrPlugin.DoE 0.6 (2009-10-19)

• changed strategy for error messages when generating designs (affects all design generating and design modifying menus): After pressing OK with options that lead to an error, instead of closing the menu and printing a warning in the messages log, the menu is re-opened with an error message in the messages log.

• added a help topic for choosing between screening and regular fractional factorial designs
• updated displayed available designs to reflect current status of designs implemented in package FrF2
• improved calls to plotting routines in 2-level effect plots menus under Analyse Design (enabled by methods for designs in package FrF2): calls were awkward before for main effects and interaction plots, and call documentation was incomplete for (half) normal effects plots
