VIGNETTE: - Fixed fetching CRAN page for version history to fail gracefully when access is down. - Updated units in Table 3. Changes in version 0.1.5 (2021-02-17) NEW FUNCTIONS: - plot.FourPHFfit.bulk - Wrapper function around FourPHFfit for multiple samples. UPDATED FUNCTIONS: - FourPHFfit - Added warning for low germination percentages. Modified to return NA output for zero total germination inputs with non-converging fits so as not to break FourPHFfit.bulk. VIGNETTE: - Removed cairo dependency.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS: - FourPHFfit - Added more checks for the input arguments umax, umin, xp, tries and tmax. - MeanGermPercent, MeanGermNumber, GermSynchrony, GermUncertainty, TimsonsIndex, GermRateGeorge, GermSpeed, GermSpeedAccumulated, FirstGermTime, GermValue, PeakValue, WeightGermPercent, t50, MeanGermRate, MeanGermTime, germination.indices, FourPHFfit and FourPHFfit.bulk - Fixed the check for uniformity of intervals to handle non-integer values correctly. Closes issue #3.(Thanks to Jonas Ohlsson [@jonasoh]) - TimsonsIndex and GermRateGeorge- Fixed to handle interval data other than days. VIGNETTE: - Fixed details of Median germination time in Table 3. - Fixed typo in formula for CUG in Table 3. - Added reference for Coefficient of variation of the germination time in Table 3. - Reverted to using system certificates instead of RCurl ones for fetching and displaying version history as suggested by Prof. Brian Ripley (ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk).
