Changes in version 2.0.2.9000                      

  - Added new function nfl_regular_season() which computes regular
    season matchups based on previous season standings and NFL regular
    season rules. (#64)

                 Changes in version 2.0.2 (2025-11-16)                  

  - Changed css styling of images in package documentation by CRAN
    request. (#61)

                 Changes in version 2.0.1 (2025-08-18)                  

  - nflseedR_compute_results() correctly adjusts Elo difference for
    postseason games. (#54)
  - nfl_standings() returns exit value consistent with nfl_simulations()
    if argument ranks = "DRAFT". (#56)
  - nfl_standings_prettify() shows exit (if available). (#56)
  - nfl_standings() now warns the user when the games argument includes
    both "season" and "sim" to avoid confusion. (#58)

                 Changes in version 2.0.0 (2025-03-24)                  

This is a major release that introduces a new generation of high
efficient standings and simulation code

New Features

  - New function nfl_standings() for high efficient standings
    calculation. The functions compute_division_ranks(),
    compute_conference_seeds(), and compute_draft_order() will be
    deprecated in a future release. (#45)
  - New function nfl_simulations() for a new, highly efficient approach
    to season simulations. This is a completely new design of the
    simulator, with the aim of achieving significantly faster run times
    and eliminating weaknesses in the old approach (in simulate_nfl()).
    The introduction of this function is supplemented by the two new
    utility functions nflseedR_compute_results(), and
    simulations_verify_fct(). These functions form the new standard for
    computing results (if the user does not have their own function for
    this) respectively allow verification of the functionality of their
    own functions instead of nflseedR_compute_results(). It is planned
    that simulate_nfl() will be deprecated in a future release so that
    the dependencies of nflseedR can be significantly reduced. (#47)
  - New function nfl_standings_prettify() computes a gt::gt() table of
    the output created with nfl_standings(). (#49)

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements

  - nfl_standings() now supports tiebreaker_depth = "POINTS" which
    breaks ties using combined point ranks and point differentials. This
    means that all tiebreakers except net touchdowns are now
    implemented. (#47)
  - Fixed a bug in nfl_standings() where the tie breaking procedure
    didn't restart correctly after some teams were eliminated while some
    others remained tied. (#47)
  - The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() explicitly sets the
    columns width of the logo column because those columns are hidden in
    some unclear scenarios.
  - The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now requires gt
    version v0.9.0 or higher to avoid warnings about deprecated
    arguments.
  - Fixed error in simulate_nfl() where it crashes because the "fake
    schedule" isn't a tibble. (#43)
  - The function load_sharpe_games has been deprecated. It was replaced
    a fairly long time ago by nflreadr::load_schedules(). (#47)
  - nflseedR now requires R 4.1 to allow the package to use R's native
    pipe |> operator. This follows the Tidyverse R version support
    rules. (#48)

                 Changes in version 1.2.0 (2023-01-05)                  

  - simulate_nfl() gained the new argument sim_include to allow more
    access to what is actually being simulated. This makes it possible
    skip playoff simulation or the (possibly heavy) computation of draft
    order. (#34)
  - The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now hides columns
    where all values are NA. This is useful if simulate_nfl() skips the
    postseason or draft order. The method also re-formats the number of
    simulations in the subtitle, e.g. from "10000" to "10k" (this
    requires scales >= 1.2.0, but it is a good idea to update scales
    anyways). (#35)
  - simulate_nfl() now uses data.table to combine simulation rounds
    data. This is a significant performance improvement. The returned
    list "sim_params" now includes the package version of nflseedR (for
    debugging) and the current system time when the simulation was
    finished. (#36)
  - Lots of internal improvements to reduce package dependencies and
    messaging. (#36)
  - The summary method summary.nflseedR_simulation() now uses
    fmt_pct_special() to format probability strings to avoid the
    impression of overconfidence by rounding to integer percentages.
    (#37)

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2022-07-07)                  

  - Added the data frame game_summary to the output of simulate_nfl()
    which aggregates matchups across all simulated seasons (#24)
  - Updated the description of some variables in load_sharpe_games()
    (#24)
  - The output of simulate_nfl() is now of class nflseedR_simulation
    which allows the implementation of a summary() method that computes
    a gt() table of the simulation summary data frame. (#26)
  - The standings data frame calculated by compute_division_ranks() now
    outputs losses and ties as well. (#27)

                 Changes in version 1.0.2 (2021-04-10)                  

  - Improved error handling of the function load_sharpe_games() for CRAN
    tests

                 Changes in version 1.0.1 (2021-03-31)                  

  - Added support for a fake schedule for simulating the upcoming season
    before the NFL has released the official schedule.

  - updated the documentation of the function load_sharpe_games() with
    the new columns away_qb_id, home_qb_id, away_qb_name and
    home_qb_name.

                        Changes in version 1.0.0                        

  - Initial release.
