Release 3

This is the version submitted for inclusion in the Bioconductor project. The version number has been changed to 0.99.0 to comply with submission requirements.

Release 2

This version incorporates major improvements for speed and efficiency:

*To get fast results, the default test for differential distributions does not involve permutation. Though this has the drawback of being potentially slightly less powerful, it is orders of magnitude faster. See the vignette for more details.

*New options for parallelization of permutations: the number of cores to use can be specified, and the computation can be parallelized over genes instead of over permutations (reduces overhead of setting up multiple forks since now this only needs to be done once instead of for every gene).

Release 1

This is version 1.1.0, which was utilized in the scDD manuscript on BioRxiv (revised version posted 5/13/2016).
