                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2026-07-19)                  

Earlier versions marked several estimators as experimental. This release
promotes them to stable.

New features

  - GLS, ULS, categorical DWLS and ULS, mixed continuous and ordinal
    indicators, and FIML, each with one or several groups, now work for
    both single models and nested comparisons.
  - A fiml.convention argument selects the FIML information convention.
    The default disagrees with lavaan but has better statistical
    properties; set fiml.convention = "lavaan" to reproduce lavaan's
    numbers exactly.
  - New vignettes cover measurement invariance with ordinal indicators
    and latent growth models under FIML.

Bug fixes

  - The reweighted least-squares statistic was read as NULL under
    lavaan 0.7-2 and is now correct. semTests requires lavaan
    (>= 0.7-2).

Removed

  - Nested method 2001 is withdrawn because of its poor performance.
  - Full WLS is refused because its correction reduces to the ordinary
    chi-square.
