                       Changes in version 2.40.2                        

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

  - Package data has been successfully offloaded to Zenodo
    (https://zenodo.org/records/21415886) and is no longer directly
    embedded in the package. The data is now dynamically retrieved and
    cached via BiocFileCache.

NEW FEATURES

  - Added new retrieval functions getCuratedBreastDataExprSetList() and
    getClinicalData() to access the remote dataset from Zenodo.
  - Embedded a miniature test dataset archive in inst/extdata for rapid
    local testing and offline execution without remote dependencies.
  - Added curatedBreastData_pData (pre-concatenated phenotype metadata
    from all datasets) to the package reference index, manual vignette,
    and documentation.
  - Configured a new pkgdown documentation site to host the package
    reference manual and manual vignette.

BUG FIXES

  - Fixed operator precedence bugs and replaced deprecated 1:... loop
    sequence generators with type-safe seq_along() and seq_len().
  - Converted sapply calls to type-safe vapply() in collapseDupProbes().
  - Updated DESCRIPTION metadata to include the latest R dependency
    (>= 4.6.0), missing biocViews, URL, and BugReports fields.

INTERNAL CHANGES

  - Migrated all package documentation to roxygen2 and removed legacy
    .Rd manual pages.
  - Converted the package vignette from Sweave (.Rnw) to R Markdown
    (.Rmd) for improved readability and compilation performance.
  - Added README.md and _pkgdown.yml mirroring the design of
    MultiAssayExperiment.
  - Configured GitHub Actions CI workflows for automated R CMD check and
    Bioconductor compliance validation (BiocCheck).

                       Changes in version 0.99.0                        

  - Initial package release.
