1.8-2 (NOT YET SUBMITTED TO CRAN)

• Added function print.xtableMatharray to enable easy creation of LaTeX code to enable an array to be included in a document.
• Added example to the gallery using sanitizing headings and row names to produce large bold headings and italic row names.
• Added code from Martin Gubri, martin.gubri@framasoft.org, to produce tables from the spatial econometrics packages, spdep, splm, and sphet.
• Extracted sanitize functions from print.xtable as stand-alone functions, and exported them. Added helper functions as.is and as.math for assistance with sanitization (supplied by Stefan Edwards sme@iysik.com in Feature Request #5303).
• Added option to produce math style exponents when sanitizing numbers, as suggested by Don Armstrong don@donarmstrong.com, who also provided code
• Fixed bug #6907. Warning was created when the data frame as no rows for type is 'html'. Added a test to create the matrix requested specially in that case. Original code was BTD2 <- matrix(align.tmp[(2-pos):(ncol(x)+1)], nrow = nrow(x), ncol = ncol(x)+pos, byrow = TRUE) which created a matrix with no rows, but gave a warning when there were no rows in the data frame being processed.
• Fixed bug #6260. Accepted the change suggested by Claudius Loehnert, which was to replace { and } by \begingroup and \endgroup respectively as the delimiters when size was to changed in a table.
• Added functions xtableList and print.xtableList to produce composite tables consisting of a number of subtables.
• Added xtableFtable and print.xtableFtable to format flat tables produced by ftable. Included examples in the xtable gallery.
• Produced new vignettes: 'The xtableList Gallery' to illustrate xtableList and print.xtableList; and 'The Other Packages Gallery' to illustrate methods for classes of objects from other packages.

1.8-0 (2015-11-02)

• autoformat, xalign, xdigits, xdisplay from Arni Magnusson, added along with help file. Feature request #5686.
• New argument 'auto' in xtable(), to call xalign, xdigits, and xdisplay at the time when xtable is created.
• Updated xtableGallery vignette, now with TOC and revised examples.

1.7-4 (2014-09-11)

• Changed tags in HTML to be all lower case, to be compatible with HTML5, part of feature request. (#5879)
• Fixed booktabs bug (#2309), more of an enhancement really. Updated xtableGallery.snw to illustrate the change.

1.7-3 (2014-03-06)

• Dealt with format.args bug (#4770). No code changes, but the documentation of print.xtable was changed to warn of the problem and to give a workaround as an example.

1.7-1 (2013-02-24)

• Fixed logicals bug. (Req #1911)
• Changed implementation of centering of tables. Instead of inserting a centered environment, now a \centering command is inserted. (Req #2104)
• Allow for margin tables as possible with document class tufte-handout. An example of usage is found in the vignette. produced by margintable.Rnw which is in inst/doc. (Req #2168)
• Added "timestamp" argument to print.xtable(). Set it to NULL if no timestamp is desired. (Req #2246)
• Added "comment" argument to print.xtable(). Set it to FALSE to exclude the version and timestamp comment. (Req #2246)
• Added "caption.width" argument. If not NULL then the caption is placed in a "parbox" of the specified width. (Req #2247)
• Remove the check on whether the "floating.environment" is in a list of known floating environments. Users want to use floating environments from multiple options LaTeX packages. (Req #2488, #2578)

1.7-0 (2012-02-10)

• Added some vectorization code to improve performance.
• Let "caption" be length 2, in which case the second value is the short caption used when creating a list of tables.
• Added "toLatex" method.
• Included "print.xtable" in the exported methods in the NAMESPACE file.
• Added "print.results" argument to "print" that can be used to suppress the printing.
• Added "format.args" argument to "print" that can be used to pass additional arguments such as "big.marks" to "formatC()".
• Added "rotate.colnames" and "rotate.rownames" arguments to "print.xtable".
• Added "booktabs" argument to use the "\toprule", "\midrule", and "\bottomrule" tags from the Latex "booktabs" package rather than using "\hline" for all horizontal lines.
• Added "scalebox" argument to include a "\scalebox" clause around the tabular environment with the specified value used as the scaling factor.
• Added "width" argument to allow specification of the width value in tabular environments such as "tabularx".
• Added "X" as an allowed alignment value in the "align()" replacement function.
• Changed the "print.xtable()" arguments to use "getOption()" to check the options for a default value. This was suggested since "print.xtable()" has a lot of arguments that the user will typically leave unchanged between tables.
• Added an "is.null()" check on the "table.placement" argument.
• Added examples using the new arguments to the vignette.

1.6-0 (2011-10-07)

• Allow "table*" as a value for "floating.environment" in print.xtable().
• Fix bug under which multiple logical columns were formatted incorrectly.

• Accommodated logicals by converting to characters.
• Add an extra space at end of each line for LaTeX tables.
