Changes in version 0.6.2 (2026-03-06) Address CRAN comments on a submission of 0.6.0, including the following. - The on.exit() function is called immediately after calls to par(). - In the DESCRIPTION file, the use of backticks has been removed for words that are not package names. I had tried doing this in version 0.6.1 as a way to prevent warnings about spelling (which occur even though the words are listed in inst/WORDLIST). For reference, the words (as reported with a remote test using R version 4.5.2 Patched) are: "Lethality", "lethality" and "whalestrike". (The last of these is enclosed in backticks, as it is the name of an R package.) Changes in version 0.6.1 Address CRAN comments on a submission of 0.6.0, including the following. - Add a full paragraph for Description, in the DESCRIPTION file. - Change http-type reference to doi-type references, in the DESCRIPTION file. - Document return values from all functions. - Save par values before plotting, returning to original values afterwards. - app_2025() saves configuration to a temporary file, not a user-space file. - Trim an example in the documentation for strike() so it performs in under 1s on my machine. In addition, add a citation to the whaleMeasurements() documentation for AM's Zenodo new entry on whale measurements. Changes in version 0.6.0 - Add shipMassFromLength(). - Add shipLength(). - Update app() to use collapsible GUI elements and to have pull-down menus for ship type and whale species, the selection of which alters the sliders that set for ship and whale properties.

Bump version number, for the JOSS revision. Changes in version 0.4.4 - Update app2() to have popup information, as suggested by a Hansen Johnson, who was a second reviewer of the JOSS manuscript.
