    with binary outcome

  - More flexible network graphs

  - Rename argument names containing n.thin to thin to match argument
    name in R packages rjags and coda

User-visible changes

  - crossnma.model():
    
      - new arguments 'sucra', 'small.values', 'cov1.value',
        'cov2.value' and 'cov3.value' for SUCRAs

Major changes

  - More effect measures implemented, i.e., risk ratio (sm = "RR"), mean
    difference ("MD") and standardised mean difference ("SMD")

  - Behaviour of print.crossnma() and print.summary.crossnma() switched
    (to be in line with other print and print.summary functions in R)

Bug fixes

  - crossnma.model():
      - fix an error in computing 'cov.ref' for network meta-regression
        with only IPDs or ADs (not both)

User-visible changes

  - crossnma.model():
    
      - new argument 'sm' to specify the effect measure
      - new argument 'se' to specify standard error for aggregated data
        with continuous outcome

        'prior.tau.reg0', 'prior.tau.regb', 'prior.tau.regw',
        'prior.tau.bias', 'prior.pi.low.rct', 'prior.pi.high.rct',
        'prior.pi.low.nrs', 'prior.pi.high.nrs'
      - replace list argument 'run.nrs' with arguments
        'run.nrs.var.infl', 'run.nrs.mean.shift', 'run.nrs.n.adapt',
        'run.nrs.trt.effect', 'run.nrs.n.iter', 'run.nrs.n.burnin',
        'run.nrs.n.thin', 'run.nrs.n.chains'

  - crossnma.model(), crossnma(), summary.crossnma():
    
      - new argument 'level.ma' to specify the level for credible
        intervals

  - crossnma(), crossnma.model(), heatplot.crossnma(),
    league.crossnma(), print.crossnma(), summary.crossnma()
    
      - new argument 'backtransf'

  - heatplot.crossnma(), league.crossnma(), summary.crossnma()
    
      - argument 'order' replaced by 'seq'
      - argument 'exp' replaced by 'backtransf'

Internal changes

  - crossnma.model():
    
      - R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to
        specify the default for arguments 'level.ma' and 'backtransf'

  - print.crossnma(), print.summary.crossnma(), league.crossnma():
    
      - R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to
        specify the default for argument 'digits'

  - R function heatplot() renamed to heatplot.crossnma() which relies on
    generic function heatplot() from R package netmeta

  - heatplot.crossnma():
    
      - R function settings.meta() from meta package can be used to
        specify the default for argument 'digits'

  - New auxiliary functions from meta package:
    
      - chklevel(), deprecated2(), formatN(), formatCI(), rmSpace(),
