CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.1
------------------------------

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

    o The Seqnames package will have functions which will be moved from 
    AnnotationDbi , GenomicRanges

   o List of 9 functions moved from AnnotationDbi
     supportedSeqnameMappings, findSequenceRenamingMaps, 
     supportedSeqnameStyles,  supportedSeqnames, 
     extractSeqnameSet, testSeqnames, isSupportedSeqnamesStyle,
     listAllSupportedStylesBySpecies, listAllSupportedSeqnameStyles.
        
   o makeSeqnameIds moved from GenomicRanges
     
   o keepStandardChromosomes moved from GenomicRanges 
     
   o rename:
     keepStandardChromosomes -> keepChromosomes 

NEW FEATURES
 
   o added new functions:
     supportedOrganisms()  
     supportedSeqnameMappingsWithGroup()  
     extractSeqnameSetByGroup() 

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.6 
----------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

   o add new functions()
     seqnamesInGroup which will take a character vector of chromosomes and 
     return the chromosomes specified by the group parameter supplied by the 
     user. The user can also give the species and the style.
     seqnamesOrder() internally calls Herve's function makeSeqnameIds()
   o add seqnameStyles generic and method from GenomicRanges

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o rename:
     testSeqnames -> isSupportedSeqnames

   o move SeqnamesStyle generic from GenomicRanges and define a new method which
     works on a character vector.
         
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

   o deprecate listAllSupportedStylesBySpecies(), 
     listAllSupportedSeqnameStyles(), supportedOrganisms()
     supportedSeqnameMappingsWithGroup()
       
DEPRECATED AND USED INTERNALLY(NOT EXPORTED)

   o deprecate supportedSeqnameMappings(), supportedSeqnameStyles(), 
     isSupportedSeqnamesStyle(),issupportedSeqnames()

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.7

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o rename:
     isSupportedSeqnames -> .isSupportedSeqnames
     supportedSeqnameStyles -> .supportedSeqnameStyles
     supportedSeqnameMappings -> .supportedSeqnameMappings
     isSupportedSeqnamesStyle -> .isSupportedSeqnamesStyle

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.14
----------------------------------

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o rename:
     package: Seqnames --> GenomeInfoDb

     supportedStyles -> genomeStyles

     makeSeqnameIds --> rankSeqlevels   (add to export)
     seqnamesOrder --> orderSeqlevels

     extractSeqnameSet -> extractSeqlevels
     extractSeqnameSetByGroup -> extractSeqlevelsByGroup
     findSequenceRenamingMaps --> mapSeqlevels
     seqnamesInGroup --> seqlevelsInGroup
     seqnamesStyle --> seqlevelsStyle
     "seqnameStyle<-" --> "seqlevelsStyle<-" 

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.17
----------------------------------

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

   o keepStandardChromosomes: Make 'species' argument optional and remove 
     'style' argument.
