Changes in version 1.3.0.9000                      

                 Changes in version 1.3.0 (2025-12-01)                  

Major changes

  - Refactored and unified the S3 class system across the package, and
    added helper methods for inspecting the internal structure of
    vecmatch objects.
  - Added get_select_params() and run_selected_matching() to streamline
    the re-estimation step after the main optimization workflow.
  - Reduced and cleaned up package dependencies in DESCRIPTION, and
    improved how suggested packages are handled in the code.

Minor changes and bug fixes

  - Fixed a bug in raincloud(), where facet labels were reversed when
    using facet.
  - Removed backend handling from optimize_gps(). The parallel backend
    must now be registered outside the function.
  - Updated the optimization vignette to use run_selected_matching().
  - Corrected a typo in the cancer dataset.
  - Added examples for all exported functions and wrapped long-running
    examples in \donttest{}.
  - Updated badges in the README.
  - Added automated tests to check reproducibility of results.

                 Changes in version 1.2.0 (2025-07-08)                  

Major changes

  - Added optimize_gps(), make_opt_args(), and select_opt() to support a
    new GPS‐optimization workflow.
  - Modified csregion() so the GPS can be reestimated after dropping
    observations.

Minor changes

  - Fixed factor handling in raincloud() and mosaic(), now allowing
    custom facet ordering via releveling.
  - Added SMD and p-value labels to raincloud().
  - Updated the raincloud() legend to show group names with their
    observation counts.

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2025-04-24)                  

Major changes

  - csregion() now allows specifying how to handle observations at the
    borders of the Common Support Region (CSR) using the new borders
    argument.
  - match_gps() has been updated to support datasets with only two
    unique treatment groups.

Minor changes

  - Added a vignette demonstrating usage and functionality.
  - Introduced this NEWS.md file to document package changes.
