 NEW FEATURES
 
-    o There is a new predict() method for compar.gee().
+    o mantel.test() has a new argument 'alternative' which is
+      "two-sided" by default. Previously, this test was one-tailed
+      with no possibility to change.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o Branch lengths were wrongly updated with bind.tree(, where = <tip>,
+      position = 0). (Thanks to Liam Revell for digging this bug out.)
+
+    o Simulation of OU process with rTraitCont() did not work correctly.
+      This now uses formula from Gillespie (1996) reduced to a BM
+      process when alpha = 0 avoiding division by zero.
