		spatstat 1.13-0

		11 April 2008
	
OVERVIEW
	The package now runs 10-20% faster.
	A new point process model has been added.

NEW FUNCTIONS

	BadGey
		A new interaction for point process models (ppm).
		This interaction is defined as a hybrid of
		several Geyer interactions. 

IMPROVEMENTS/ENHANCEMENTS

	Kest, Fest, Gest, Jest, Lest,

	distmap, dilate.owin, bdist.pixels,
	diameter, hausdorff,
	marktable, applynbd,
	inside.xypolygon, inside.owin,

		The functions listed above now run faster.
		Time savings of 10% to 20% are typical.

	owin, ppp, psp
		Some window operations also run faster.

	Geyer
	OrdThresh
	PairPiece
	StraussHard
	SatPiece
		Computations for these point process interactions
		(in ppm, predict.ppm, residuals.ppm etc)
