## Release History of the airGR Package



### 1.7.8 Release Notes (2025-12-12)

#### Bug fixes

- `RunModel_CemaNeige()` now run alone without GR models at the hourly time step. ([#179](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/179))
- `SeriesAggreg()` now correctly handles time series provided with diverse input time steps (e.g., 15-minute data aggregated to monthly values). ([#149](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/149))
- `SeriesAggreg()` now correctly compute `LayerFracSolidPrecip`. This variable, representing a fraction, was previously aggregated using a sum, which was incorrect. It is now recalculated from the aggregated liquid and solid precipitation values to ensure physically consistent results. ([#160](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/160))
- `SeriesAggreg()` now correctly handles inputs provided as `tibble` format. ([#187](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/187))
- Restored the missing `IsIntStore` argument in `CreateCalibOptions()`, which had been unintentionally since version 1.4.1.18. Without it, the GR5H model with interception storage was using the parameter transformations of the version without interception, leading to suboptimal calibration results. ([#165](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/165))
- `CreateRunOptions()` now run when used with `RunModel_Lag()`, preventing the error and ensuring compatibility with RunModel_Lag() and potential future non-GR models. ([#167](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/167))
- `CreateRunOptions()` and `RunModel_GR5H*()` now properly handle cases where the Imax argument is set to `NULL`. Previously, no error was raised and a default warm-up configuration was silently applied, which could lead to incorrect simulations. ([#181](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/181))
- `ErrorCrit_RMSE()` now correctly ignores missing values in either the observed or the simulated time series due to inv" or "log" transformations producing additional `NA` values in simulated flows.


#### Major user-visible changes

- `RunModel_*()` and `Calibration_Michel()` now run faster thanks to multiple optimizations: 
`.GetFeatModel()` now preloads `.FeatModels` from an RDA file instead of a CSV file, model features are stored as an attribute of InputsModel (eliminating redundant calls in `CreateIniStates()`), and unnecessary sentinel-to-NA conversions have been removed. ([#176](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/176))


#### Minor user-visible changes

- `RunModel_CemaNeigeGR4J()` example and the 'cemaneige_hysteresis' vignette now reflect the correct use of the CemaNeige hysteresis formulation as described in Riboust et al. (2019).
The `MeanAnSolidPrecip` argument of `CreateRunOptions()` must now be specified with distinct values for each elevation zone when hysteresis is activated. ([#141](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/141))
- Added the features diagram to the 'Get Started' vignette to provide a visual summary of the main airGR functions and their relationships. ([#186](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/186))
- Refactored the handling of criterion logic to decentralize the definition of CritBestValue and Multiplier across the individual `ErrorCrit_*()` functions. ([#199](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/199))
- `citation("airGR")` now returns the digital object identifier (DOI) provided by the CRAN ([#189](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/189))


#### Version control and issue tracking

- Removed embedded functions from regression test lists to avoid false positives in test comparisons. ([#202](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/202))


#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- Now depends on R >= 3.6.0. ([#176](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/176))

- `RunModel_CemaNeige*()` now takes into account the case when `dG = 0`. ([#178](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/178))


#### Minor user-visible changes

- `Calibration_Michel()` now runs faster as the `ProposeCandidatesGrid()` was improved to create the propose candidates grid. ([#157](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/157)) 
- `TransfoParamGR5J()` now returns the correct error message when the number of parameters is incorrect. ([#168](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/168)) 


#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- `frun_*` Fortran subroutine does not use anymore the 'DLLEXPORT' command. ([#180](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/180))

Added the `CreateInputsCrit_Lavenne()` to define a composite criterion based on the formula. Added the `CreateErrorCrit_GAPX()` function to compute an error criterion based on the GAPX formula. ([#111](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/111))
- `OutputsModel`, returned by the `RunModel_*GR*()` function, gains a `RunOptions` element which is a list and contains 2 sub-elements: `WarmUpQsim` (vector series of simulated discharge on the warm-up period) and `Param` (vector of the model parameter values). ([#123](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/123))
- `plot.OutputsModel()` gains a `AxisTS` argument in order to manage x-axis representing calendar dates and times. It avoids to display ugly x-axis. ([#122](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/122))

- `DataAltiExtrapolation_Valery()` now correctly extract HypsoData values for each elevation layers. The selected indices were wrong (one less than expected) ([#144](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/144))
- `CreateIniStates()` does not return anymore an error message when `IntStore` is set and `RunModel_GR5H` is used. ([#144](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/145))


#### Major user-visible changes

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.6.12 Release Notes (2021-04-27)

#### New features

- `CreateInputsModel()` gains a `QupstrUnit` argument in order to manage the unit of the flow in the `Qupstream` argument in case of the use of a semi-distributed version of a hydrological model. ([#110](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/110))
- `RunModel_Lag()` gains a `QcontribDown` argument containing the time series of the runoff contribution of the downstream sub-basin in case of the use of a semi-distributed version of a hydrological model. ([#109](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/109))


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `RunModel`. The `RunModel_Lag()` can now be passed to the `FUN_MOD` argument. ([#108](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/108))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_Lag()`. The function no longer returns two values for a single time step run. ([#102](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/102))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_Lag()`. The `StateEnd` value is now correct when there are more than a single upstream basin. ([#103](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/103))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_Lag()`. The `StateEnd` value is now correct when the upstream flow unit is mm/time step. ([#104](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/104))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_CemaNeigeGR5H()`. The solid precipitation are now taken into account in the GR5H model. ([#105](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/105))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_CemaNeige()` and `CreateInputsModel()`. `RunModel_CemaNeige()` now runs at the hourly time step. ([#106](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/106))
- Fixed the 'param_optim' vignette. The starting points used for the multi-start approach are now in the transformed space.([#101](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/101))


#### Major user-visible changes

- `LengthHydro` must now be set in kilometers (not anymore in meters) in the `CreateInputsModel()` function. ([#112](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/112))
- `TransfoParam_GR5H()` now use the same transformation as `TransfoParam_GR4H()` for the X1 parameter. The previous transformation set by Ficchì seems unnecessary as it provokes irrealistically high X1 values. ([#50](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/50))


#### Minor user-visible changes

- The `RunModel*()` functions now run faster. The computation times are significantly shorter for long times series with many time steps (e.g. hourly times series), due to a better management of the missing values in and out the Fortran codes. Only simulation computation times have been improved (it is largely invisible to the user for calibration computation times). ([#113](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/113))
- The external calibration algorithms used in 'param_optim' and 'param_mcmc' vignettes now run faster. The `RunModel_*()` functions used during the parameter estimation process now run faster because the outputs contain only the simulated flows (see the `Outputs_Sim` argument in the `CreateRunOptions()` help page).
- Added `.FeatModels()` and `.GetFeatModel()` functions in order to repectively store and get model features (e.g. name, number of parameters, time unit). Therefore the codes of the `CreateInputsModel()` and the `CreateRunOptions()` functions have been simplified. ([#106](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/106))


#### Version control and issue tracking

- The CI pipelines now fail when the checks return a warning message (and not just an error message). ([#86](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/86))
- The reverse dependencies packages (e.g. the 'airGRteaching' or the 'airGRdatassim') are now checked by the CI pipelines. ([#86](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/86))

#### Major user-visible changes

- `Imax()` now returns an error message when `IndPeriod_Run` doesn't select 24 hours by day, instead of `numeric(0)`. ([#92](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/92))


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Fixed warning returned by GCC Fortran when compiling `frun_GR5H.f90`. ([#93](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/93))


#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- Coerce `character` dates into `POSIXlt` in `RunModel_GR1A()` example and in `SeriesAggreg()` tests in order to avoid bad subsetting on time series due to mixing UTC and local time (error returned on macOS flavors). ([#94](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/94))

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.6.9.27 Release Notes (2021-01-18)

#### New features

- Added `SeriesAggreg` S3 method with functions for `InputsModel`, `OutputsModel`, `list`, `data.frame` class objects. This new version of the `SeriesAggreg()` function also allows to compute regimes. ([#25](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/25))
- Added `.GetAggregConvertFun()` private function in order to choose automatically the `ConvertFun` to apply on each element of objects used in `SeriesAggreg.InputsModel()` and `SeriesAggreg.OutputsModel()`.
- Added `.AggregConvertFunTable` data.frame that allows the user to see what names of list items or data.frame column names are guessed and eventually customise this correspondence table.
- `PE_Oudin()` now presents a `RunFortran` argument to run the code in Fortran or in R. The Fortran mode is the fastest. ([#62](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/62))
- Added `RunModel_Lag()` which allows to perform a single run for the Lag model over the test period in order to run semi-distributed GR models. ([#34](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/34))
- Added the 'sd_model' vignette to explain how to manage the use of semi-distributed GR models. ([#34](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/34))
- Added `[` S3 method for `InputsModel` class object in order to extract subsets of it. ([#67](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/67))


#### Deprecated and defunct

- The `TimeFormat` argument is now deprecated in `SeriesAggreg()`. ([#41](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/41))
- The `NewTimeFormat` argument is now deprecated in `SeriesAggreg()` and replaced by the `Format` argument. ([#41](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/41))
- The deprecated `RunSnowModule` argument has been removed from the `CreateRunOptions()` function. ([#23](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/23))


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in`SeriesAggreg()`. The function now runs when `TimeLag >= 3600`.
([#41](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/41))
- Fixed bug in`SeriesAggreg()`. The function now runs when the time series contain some columns entirely filled with missing values. ([#43](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/43))
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_GR1A()`. Reversed PotEvap and Precip outputs are now reordered (in the previous versions PotEvap contained the precipitation values and Precip contained the evapotranspiration values, the Qsim values were already correct). ([#65](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/65))


#### Major user-visible changes

- Added output to `RunModel_GR2M()` function (Ps). ([#51](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/51))
- `PE_Oudin()` can now run for several locations (i.e. several latitudes) in the Fortran mode (`RunFortran = TRUE`). In this case `Lat` must be of the same length as `Temp`. ([#62](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/62))
- `RunModel()` now allows to run semi-distributed GR models. ([#34](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/34))
- The `ConvertFun` argument of the `SeriesAggreg()` function can now be set to names of aggregation functions that return value of length 1 (not only `"sum"` or `"mean"`, but e.g. `"min"`, `"max"`, `"Q95"`). ([#82](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/82))


#### Minor user-visible changes

- The `.FortranOutputs()` function is no longer exported in the namespace.
- `RunModel_GR1A()` now uses the Fortran version of the model code. This code is no longer duplicated: the R version which was used was removed. ([#65](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/65))
- Character argument verification now use partial matching in `PE_Oudin()` and `SeriesAggreg()` functions. ([#37](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/37))
- `RunModel_*()` funcions were cleaned up, with no effect on their outputs. ([#14](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/14))
- `.ErrorCrit()` function now returns a warning message when a criterion computed on less than 10 time-steps (whatever the unit of the time step). ([#14](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/14))
- Added the diagram of GR5H in the `RunModel_GR5H()` documentation. ([#49](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/49))
- The `Exch` was renames `AExch` in the `RunModel_GR2M()` output. ([#87](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/87))
- Added 'Es' and 'Ps' on the GR2M diagram available in the `RunModel_GR2M()` help page. ([#88](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/88))
- The `plot.OutputsModel()` function does not check anymore the time step by comparing the calculation of the difference of the last two time steps because it is already checked by the class of the `OutputsModel` object, which is therefore assumed to be necessarily valid. ([#56](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/56))


#### Version control and issue tracking

- Implement automatic tests in the package. ([#52](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/52))


#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- 'airGR' now depends on R >= 3.1.0 because of the use of the `anyNA` function.
- The 'hydroPSO' package is back on CRAN and it is again suggested (cf. the 'param_optim' vignette). ([#38](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/38))
- For more safety, the following "basic" packages are now imported : 'graphics', 'grDevices', 'stats', 'utils. ([#74](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/74))

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.4.3.65 Release Notes (2020-02-28)

#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- The run period is reduced in the example of the `Imax()` function in order to run faster.
- The 'hydroPSO' package is no longer suggested (but the code linked to its use and is always present in the 'param_optim' vignette).

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.4.3.60 Release Notes (2020-01-29)

#### New features

- A digital object identifier (DOI) now allows to identify the manual of the 'airGR' package. When you use 'airGR' in your work, please always cite both the article and the manual. The last one allows to know the version of the package that is used in order to enhance reproducible research. The references can be displayed with the `citation("airGR")` command.

#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `Imax()`. The default value of the `TestedValues` argument was wrong due to a mistyped argument name in the `seq()` function.

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.4.3.52 Release Notes (2020-01-21)


#### New features

- `plot.Outputsmodel()` now allows to draw actual evapotranspiration when `which = "ActEvap"` or `which = "All"` (overlaid to potential evapotranspiration if already drawn). ([#2](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/2))
- Added `RunModel_GR5H()` and `RunModel_CemaNeigeGR5H()` functions to run the hourly model GR5H (with or without the CemaNeige module). These models present an optional additionnal interception store. ([#13](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/13))
- Added `Imax()` which allows to estimate the maximum capacity of the GR5H interception store. ([#13](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/13))


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `TransfoParam_GR1A()`. The number of model parameters was wrong (2 instead of 1) which caused an error during the GR1A model calibration. ([#1](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/1))
- Fixed bug in `plot.OutputsModel()`. The function does not return any error message when `log_scale = TRUE`, `Qobs = NULL` and user want to draw flows time series.
- Fixed bug in `RunModel_*GR*()`. The functions do not return any error message anymore due to slightly negative values returned by GR4H, GR4J, GR5J or GR6J Fortran codes (the message was returned by `CreateIniStates()` when the final states were created). The `RunModel_*GR*()` functions now return zero instead of these slightly negative values, except for the ExpStore where negatives values are allowed.
- Fixed bug in the `.ErrorCrit()` function. The Box-Cox transformation formula is now corrected when the `ErrorCrit*()` functions are used.


#### Major user-visible changes

- Added outputs to `RunModel_GR4H()` function (Pn, Ps, AExch1, AExch2).


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Added the diagram of GR2M in the `RunModel_GR2M()` documentation.
- Fortran codes cleaned and translated from F77 to F90. ([#18](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/-/issues/18))


#### CRAN-compatibility updates

- Cleaning of the Fortran codes (comment formatting).

### 1.3.2.42 Release Notes (2019-09-20)


#### Version control and issue tracking

- Users can now track changes (`https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr`) and issues (`https://gitlab.irstea.fr/HYCAR-Hydro/airgr/issues`).


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `RunModel_CemaNeige()`. The function now runs correctly when `IndPeriod_WarmUp = 0L` in `CreateRunOptions()` in order to completely disable the warm-up period (e.g. to perform a forecast form a given initial state).
- Fixed bug in `CreateIniStates()`. The function now returns the right number of end states when CemaNeige is used without hysteresis.
- Fixed bug in the `RunModel_CemaNeige*()` functions. G and Gthr end states are no more inverted in the output values.


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Spurious flows set to `NA` into the `BasinObs` time series of the `L0123001` dataset.

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.3.2.23 Release Notes (2019-06-20)

- Added `PE_Oudin()` function to compute Oudin's potential evapotranspiration for hourly or daily time steps.
- `plot.OutputsModel()` now presents a `LayoutMat` argument (and additionnal related argument: `LayoutWidths`, `LayoutHeights`) to specify complex plot arrangements.


#### Deprecated and defunct

- The `PEdaily_Oudin()` function is deprecated and his use has been replaced by the use of `PE_Oudin()`.


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `plot.OutputsModel()`. The function now runs correctly when the `which` argument contains the `"CorQQ"` value without `"CumFreq"`.


#### Major user-visible changes

- `plot.OutputsModel()` can now draw PE or error time series if the `which` argument is set to `"all"` or `"PotEvap"` or `"Error"`.
- `plot.OutputsModel()` now allows new values for the which argument: `"all"` corresponds to all graphs, `"synth"` corresponds to the main graphs (default value; corresponding to `"all"` in the previous versions of the package) (i.e. `c("Precip", "Temp", "SnowPack", "Flows", "Regime", "CumFreq", "CorQQ")`), `"ts"` corresponds to the time series graphs (i.e. `c("Precip", "PotEvap", "Temp", "SnowPack", "Flows")`) and "perf" corresponds to the performance graphs (i.e. `c("Error", "Regime", "CumFreq", "CorQQ")`).


#### Minor user-visible changes

- `.ErrorCrit()` private function added to check inputs into `ErrorCrit_*()` functions. The `ErrorCrit_*()` functions were simplified accordingly.
- `CreateInputsCrit()` now returns `FUN_CRIT` as a character string.
- An example is addeed to illustred the use of the `plot.OutputsModel()` function.

### 1.2.13.16 Release Notes (2019-04-03)


#### New features

- `CreateInputsCrit()` now presents a `VarObs` argument in order to allow to prepare an `InputsCrit` object in order to run a criterion on other variables than observed discharges with the `ErrorCrit()` function (at the moment SCA and SWE).
- `CreateInputsCrit()` can now prepare an `InputsCrit` object in order to compute a single criterion (`Single` class), multiple criteria (`Multi` class) or a composite criterion (`Compo` class) with the `ErrorCrit()` function.
- `CreateInputsCrit()` now presents a `Weights` argument in order to allow to prepare an `InputsCrit` object in order to compute a composite criterion (`Compo` class) with `ErrorCrit()` or `Calibration_Michel()`.
- `CreateInputsCrit()` now returns a `idLayer` element to indicate which layer(s) to use for SCA or SWE aggregation.
- `CreateInputsCrit()` now presents a `warnings` argument to replace the verbose action (the `verbose` argument is kept to print messages).
- In `CreateInputsCrit()`, it is now possible to set the following arguments as atomic (as before) or as list: `FUN_CRIT`, `VarObs`, `Obs`, `BoolCrit`, `transfo`, `Weights`. If the list format is chosen, all the lists must have the same length.
- `CreateRunOptions()`, `CreateIniStates()` and `CreateCalibOptions()` now present a `IsHyst` argument to give the possibility to use the Linear Hysteresis with CemaNeige. The objects returned present an `hysteresis` class.
- `CreateRunOptions()` now presents a `warnings` argument to replace the verbose action (the `verbose` argument is kept to print messages).
- Added `TransfoParam_CemaNeigeHyst()` function in order to take into account transformation of the parameters of the CemaNeige module when the Linear Hysteresis is used.
- Added the `X0310010` dataset to run the examples using the Linear Hysteresis with CemaNeige (it contains necessary SCA data).
- Added the 'cemaneige_hysteresis' vignette to explain how to manage the use of the Linear Hysteresis with CemaNeige.

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.0.3 Release Notes (2016-12-09)


#### New features

- `ErrorCrit_*()` functions gain a `warnings` argument to replace the verbose action and the `verbose` argument now prints the criterion value(s).

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.0.2 Release Notes (2016-11-03)


#### New features

- `SeriesAggreg()` gains a `TimeLag` argument that corresponds to a numeric value indicating a time lag (in seconds) for the time series aggregation (useful to aggregate hourly time series to the daily time step for instance).
 In addition, the function now accepts input dates in both `POSIXt` formats (`POSIXct` and `POSIXlt`). The output is in `POSIXct` format.
- `plot_OutputsModel()` gains a `log_scale` argument in order to plot the flow with a log scale.
- A tutorial is available online on the following link: https://hydrogr.github.io/airGR/.
 It can also be displayed with the `vignette("airGR")` command.


#### Deprecated and defunct

- `CreateCalibOptions()` loses the `OptimParam` argument that was redundant with the `FixedParam` argument. The `Calibration_Michel()` was modified to take into account this change by using directly `FixedParam`, but this is transparent to the user.
- `CreateCalibOptions()` loses the `StartParam` argument that was not used.


#### Bug fixes

- The value `sort` for the `transfo` argument of `CreateInputsCrit()` was not taken into account. It is now fixed.


#### Major user-visible changes

- The `RunModel_GR6J()` and `RunModel_CemaNeigeGR6J()` models were modified back to versions previous to 1.0.1 to prevent from unwanted efficiency criteria deterioration related to the calibration with `Calibration_Michel()`.
 The actual model codes were not modified but the `TransfoParam_GR6J()` and `CreateCalibOptions()` functions were modified regarding the X5 parameter.
 It is strongly advised to use airGR 1.0.2 for the `RunModel_GR6J()` and `RunModel_CemaNeigeGR6J()` functions if you are using `Calibration_Michel()`, as they are much more efficient.
 In case you were using your own calibration algorithm, you will not notice any difference.


#### Minor user-visible changes

- `CreateInputsModel()` and `DataAltiExtrapolation_Valery()` functions now allow both `POSIXt` formats (`POSIXct` and `POSIXlt`).

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 1.0.1 Release Notes (2016-04-21)


#### Deprecated and defunct

- The `Calibration_HBAN()` and `DataAltiExtrapolation_HBAN()` functions have respectively been renamed as `Calibration_Michel()` and `DataAltiExtrapolation_Valery()` after the names of their creators.
- The `Calibration_optim()` function has been removed from the package.
- The silent mode is now defined by the `verbose = TRUE` argument (formerly `quiet = FALSE`) in the following functions:
`Calibration()`, `Calibration_Michel()`, `CreateInputsModel()`, `CreateRunOptions()`, `DataAltiExtrapolation_Valery()`, `ErrorCrit()`, `ErrorCrit_KGE()`, `ErrorCrit_KGE2()`, `ErrorCrit_NSE()`, `ErrorCrit_RMSE()`, `plot_OutputsModel()`, `SeriesAggreg()`.


#### Major user-visible changes
- The GR5J model has been modified: previously, two unit hydrographs were used, now only one is remaining.
 As a consequence, simulations from the GR5J (`RunModel_GR5J()` function) and CemaNeige (`RunModel_CemaNeigeGR5J()` function) models will be different.
- An important proportion of the transformations of the parameters have been modified (`TransfoParam_*()` functions). Since this modifies the local search, calibration results will be different .
- The quantiles of the parameters have been recalculated with the new transformations (`CreateCalibOptions()` function). Since these quantiles constitute the starting point of the calibration algorithm, calibration results will be different.


#### Minor user-visible changes

- The Fortran model core codes have been modified:
	- optimisation of the codes for fastening of computation;
	- simplification of the internal variables for easier reading and understanding.
- The list of the contributors and authors is now full.
- The references of the package has been updated; they are returned by the following R-command `citation("airGR")`.

- New function `SeriesAggreg()` to easily aggreg timesteps.


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `ErrorCrit_RMSE()` which led to incorrect calibration (the criterion was maximised instead of minimised).


#### Major user-visible changes

- Update of the functions `CreateRunOptions()`, `CreateCalibOptions()` and `plot_OutputsModel()` to handle the new models.
- Modification of CemaNeige Fortran code to add an update of Gratio after the SnowPack update (no impact on snow simulation).

#### Deprecated and defunct

- The `CalibrationAlgo_*()` functions were renamed into `Calibration_*()`.


#### Bug fixes

- Fixed bug in `Calibration_HBAN()`. The function was not working properly with models having only one parameter.


#### Major user-visible changes

- CemaNeige users must now specify one `MeanAnSolidPrecip` for each elevation layer. The `CreateRunOptions()` function is impacted.
- CemaNeige users can now specify the mean elevation of the input series (before it was always considered equal to the catchment median elevation).
 The impacted functions are `CreateInputsModel()` and `DataAltiExtrapolation_HBAN()`.
- New architecture with better format verification procedure (using classes) and simpler setting of default configuration.
- New architecture where the model, calibration and error functions are in the arguments of the functions
 (the exotic use of "generic function" created by the users has been removed).
- Improved documentation and examples.


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Improvements allowing the arrival of new models.
- Improvements of the argument verifications in `CreateInputsModel()`, `CreateRunOptions()`, `CreateInputsCrit()`, `CreateCalibOptions()`.

____________________________________________________________________________________


### 0.6.2 Release Notes (2014-02-12)


#### New features

- Additional functions for results plotting (the 'zoo' package is required for some of them).
- Add multi-objective calibration using `nsga2()` (the 'mco' package is required).
- The field Multiplier has been added in the ErrorCrit() outputs, to indicate whether the criterion is an error (to minimise) or and efficiency (to maximise).
 This allows to provide real efficiency values in the outputs e.g. NSE[Q] instead of (-1) &times; NSE[Q].


#### Deprecated and defunct

- `EfficiencyCrit()` have been replaced by `ErrorCrit()` to avoid misunderstanding (by default, the algorithms minimise the error criterion).


#### Bug fixes

- RC11 bug correction: the automatic selection of the warm-up period was not working properly when no data was available from warm-up (i.e. when the user had set the run to start at the very first index).
- RC10 bug correction: the `CalibrationAlgo_HBAN()` function was not working in the very rare case when the diagonal search was activated and lead to a set outside the authorised range.
- RC9 bug correction: the `CalibrationAlgo_HBAN()` function was not working properly with models having only one parameter.
- RC8 bug correction of the `ModelDefaultIniOptions()` function (this bug was introduced in the RC7 and caused an error when `IndPeriod_WarmUp = NULL`.
- RC7 bug correction of the `ModelDefaultIniOptions()` function (the automatic selection of one year for warm-up was not handling properly missing data).
- RC6 correction of the help files (the description of CemaNeige parameters were inverted).
- RC5 differs from previous releases in the way the data are read and stored (in a list instead of individual vectors).
 The package is similar, only the examples of Main and the files in MyScriptBlocks have changed.
 All basin data are now stored inside a list named `BasinData`. This will greatly ease the future use of Rdata files (instead of txt files) as storage format for the time series of observation.


#### Major user-visible changes

- The definition of the generic function is now made in a much simpler way (e.g. see `DefineFunctions_Model()` or `DefineFunctions_ErrorCrit()`).


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Code improvements to reduce the computation time.
- Clearer instructions for the adding and modification of a model.
- Improvements of the documentation.


____________________________________________________________________________________

- The check that `SelectPer_Run()` is continuous is now made in the `CheckArg()` functions.
- Check of the model functioning time step.
- Name of the calibration criterion provided in `OutputsAlgo()`.


#### Minor user-visible changes

- Missing values in Fortran are now -999.999 instead of -9.999.


____________________________________________________________________________________


### 0.5.1 Release Notes (2014-01-27)


#### New features

- New `EfficiencyCrit_NSE_sqrtQ()` function to compute NSE criterion on sqrt flows.


#### Bug fixes

- Incorrect arguments in the call to `RunModelAndCrit` from `CalibrationAlgo_optim_stats` and `CalibrationAlgo_nlminb_stats`.
- `CalibrationAlgo_nlminb_stats` argument was wrongly defined in `DefineFunctions_CalibrationAlgo()` (`optim` instead of `nlminb`).
- Format checking for `RunOptions` was incorrectly made in `CheckArg()` function.
