poweRlaw 0.40.0 (not on CRAN)

• Add ByteCompile flag. Testing suggests that bootstrapping is now around twice as fast.
• Added seed and package_# poweRlaw to the output of bootstrap and bootstrap_p.
• Added poisson random number generator.

poweRlaw 0.30.2

• Bug fix: Plotting the data cdf failed when data values were larger than xmax (https://github.com/csgillespie/poweRlaw/issues/40). Thanks to @LaurentFranckx

poweRlaw 0.30.1

• Bug fix: pdf and cdf functions should now handle values of q less than xmin in a sensible way (Thanks to Pierce Brookss)

poweRlaw 0.30.0

• New package title to satisfy CRAN
• A new xmax argument has been added to the bootstrap and estimate_xmin functions. This argument limits the search space when calculating the KS statistic.

poweRlaw 0.20.5

• Further changes to the tolerance in the test suite comparison (Solaris-sparc failed to build)
