?logrank_test and ?logrank_weight).
The Moore-Penrose inverse of the conditional covariance matrix can
now be extracted (see ?covariance).
For tests of conditional independence within blocks, the partial
linear statistic for each block and its conditional expectation and
variance as well as its conditional covariance and corresponding
Moore-Penrose inverse can now be extracted (see ?statistic,
?expectation, ?variance and ?covariance).

The internal storage of the linear statistic and its conditional
expectation and covariance, i.e., slots linearstatistic,
expectation and covariance in classes inheriting from
"IndependenceLinearStatistic", as well as the Moore-Penrose inverse
of the conditional covariance, i.e., slot covarianceplus in classes
inheriting from "QuadTypeIndependenceTestStatistic", has been
changed. In particular, the conditional covariance and its Moore-Penrose
inverse now use a memory-efficient packed format.

?malformations, ?jobsatisfaction and ?vision).
The test size, i.e., the actual significance level, of approximative
(Monte Carlo) and exact tests can now be computed (see ?size).
The centered linear statistic can now be extracted (see
?statistic).
P-values can now be extracted from objects of class
"PValue" using pvalue().
Adjusted p-values based on the approximative (Monte Carlo) marginal null distributions were incorrect under some circumstances.
The point and/or interval estimate of the ratio of scales parameter (for tests against scale alternatives) were incorrect when using the asymptotic null distribution.
Exact distributions of symmetry tests for paired data, e.g., the exact sign and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, used the Streitberg-Röhmel algorithm for independent samples instead of the more efficient version for dependent samples.
The class definition of "PValue" erroneously included the
midpvalue and pvalueinterval slots; these slots are now part
of the "NullDistribution" subclass (as they should have been
originally).
Asymptotic and exact p-values smaller than machine precision,
i.e., .Machine$double.eps, or approximative (Monte Carlo)
p-values smaller than resampling precision, i.e., 1 /

method = "discrete" in pvalue() is now defunct and has
been removed.
The dperm(), pperm() and qperm() methods for
objects of class "AsymptNullDistribution" are no longer needed and
have been removed.
Objects of class "AsIs" were handled incorrectly in some
cases, leading to, e.g., misleading error messages or test statistics
having the wrong sign.
Supplying decreasing scores for ordered factors with two levels
using the test functions' scores argument resulted in increasing
normalized scores, leading to test statistics having the wrong sign.
The transformation function for ordered factors did not return
normalized scores in the two-level case when argument scores was
used.
Precision issues in confidence intervals for location and scale problems.
When the general symmetry and marginal homogeneity tests were
applied to an object of class "table", the levels of the
measurement conditions were not preserved (but reordered alphabetically).

test procedures by setting distribution = "none".
The mid-p-value can now be computed and is accompanied by a 99
% mid-p confidence interval when resampling has been used to obtain
the null distribution (see ?midpvalue).

The Brown-Mood median test p-value computation used the wrong tail of the null distribution in the one-sided case.
The test statistic of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test had the wrong sign under some circumstances, due to being based on the sum of the absolute values of the negative differences, instead of the positive, between the paired measurements.
The Friedman test did not warn when weights were supplied.
Maximally selected statistics did not handle user-specified scores for ordinal variables correctly.
Two-sample problems were not identified as such if the grouping
variable had unused factor levels, causing problems if, e.g., trying to
use the subset argument of formula methods.

levels, causing problems, e.g., if trying to use the subset
argument of the formula methods.

The density function of exact permutation distributions returned a zero-length vector for values not included in the support; the probability of such values are now reported as 0.
The distribution and quantile functions of asymptotic permutation distributions for maximum-type tests were not handling vector arguments correctly.
The quantile function of exact permutation distributions reported
NA when the 100 % quantile was requested under some circumstances.
The support of exact permutation distributions for stratified tests was not guaranteed to be distinct and ordered, which in turn caused failure when trying to obtain values from the density and quantile functions.
The printed output of the Pearson chi-squared test and the generalized Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test claimed that a Linear-by-Linear Association Test had been carried out even in the singly ordered case, i.e., when either the response variable or the explanatory variable is an ordered factor; these are now reported as Generalized Pearson Chi-squared Test and Generalized Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Test respectively.
The printed output of the Fisher-Pitman permutation test reported the parameter tested in the two-sample case when the explanatory variable was an ordered factor.
The printed output of the one-sided Ansari-Bradley test reported the opposite direction of the specified alternative (but performed the test in the specified direction and thus reported the correct p-value).

The Pearson chi-squared test, the generalized
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Friedman test,
the Fligner-Killeen test and the marginal homogeneity test no longer
features the distribution argument (but still allow the type of
null distribution to be specified).

argument (but still allows the alternative hypothesis to be specified).
When the general symmetry test or the marginal homogeneity test is applied to a table, the variable indicating the measurement conditions has been renamed to conditions (from groups).
The teststat argument no longer allows the use of
maximum-type statistics and quadratic forms to be specified using
"maxtype" and "quadtype" respectively.

preserving the behavior of algorithm = "shift" in previous versions
of the package.
The shift algorithm (exact(algorithm = "shift")) no longer
silently switches to the split-up algorithm when non-integer scores are
detected; it now fails with an error message.
Single-step adjusted p-values based on the joint distribution of the test statistics are now computed slightly faster due to using only the unique realizations of the test statistics.
