RELEASE NOTES 

		spatstat 1.12-6

		04 February 2008

OVERVIEW
	New summary functions, simulation routines, interaction model.
	Improvements to envelope command.
	Extension to distance code for line segments.

NEW FUNCTIONS

	AreaInter
		enables the area-interaction model to be fitted to data
		e.g.   
			ppm(X, ~1, AreaInter(2))

	Linhom
		Computes the inhomogeneous version of Ripley's L-function.

	marktable
		Tabulates frequencies of marks in an R-neighbourhood
		of each point in a multitype point pattern.

	rGaussPoisson
		Generates simulated realisations of the Gauss-Poisson process.

IMPROVEMENTS/ENHANCEMENTS

	envelope
		The argument `simulate' can now be a list of point patterns.

		This allows the user to compute the envelopes of several 
		different statistics based on the same set of simulated point
		patterns, which improves efficiency and consistency.

	pairdist.psp
	crossdist.psp
		These functions have a new argument 'type'.
		If type = "separation", the minimum distance between each
		pair of line segments is computed.

BUGS

	None reported!
