    o A new class TVResults is returned by plotTV containing all important results of the clustering and plotting.
    o TVResults objects can be accessed by their slots and plotTVData. plotTVData returns a data frame with the summarized results.
    o Added option showPlot to plotTV() to suppress plotting optionally. This is useful if only the clustering results are needed.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.1.1
------------------------

BUG FIXES

    o Fixed a bug which resulted in wrong quality score cut off in parseReads()
    o annotatePeaks() did not accept input gtf files with present values

------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Renamed all C files. Registering now takes place in a separate file.
    
    o plotTV can now alternatively take a character vector of IDs matching 'transcript_id' in the gtf instead of a GRanges object. This is useful to plot RNA-Seq data matching without regions. 

BUG FIXES
   
    o Added PACKAGE argument to .call
    
    o readthrough_pairs argument to parseReads declared experimental.
	
    o Removed the matching RNA-Seq data set and added pasillaBamSubset as an example for RNA-Seq visualisation.
	

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.2
------------------------

NEW FEATURES

    o Added getter methods for all slots of DensityContainer and inherited classes for individual access. Added setter methods for spliced and ex_name
    
    o removed dc.size() and added the slot 'size' instead. Also added env and data_pointer slots to class DensityContainer
    
    o improved documentation of S4 methods with usage section
    
    o gtf2df and macs2df renamed to gtf2gr and macs2gr respectively. They are now returning a GRanges object.

    o annotatePeaks takes and returns only GRanges objects.
	
    o id2tss renamed to peak2tss and now returning an updated GRanges object 
	
    o plotTV accepts GRanges objects rather than data.frames for gtf and peaks input

BUG FIXES
   
    o Removed all direct slot accessions

    o Removed unnecessary call to dyn.load and dyn.unload in parseReads()
    

CHANGES IN VERSION 0.99.1

    o plotTV returns ordering to reproduce kmeans clustering

BUG FIXES

    o sliceNT did not flip the exons on the negative strand

    o Argument rowv to plotTV did not work with expression threshold remove_lowex
