Changes in version 1.1.1                        

NEW FEATURES

  - build_SpatialExperiment() (and add_array_coords()) takes a new
    parameter algorithm whose default is now "LSAP". The older
    implementation is available via the "Euclidean" algorithm. The now
    LSAP approach is a significant improvement in how new array
    coordinates are assigned, preventing all duplicate and most empty
    mappings within a single capture area, leading to improvements in
    downstream applications like clustering.

                       Changes in version 0.99.0                        

NEW FEATURES

  - Initial version of the visiumStiched package that provides utilities
    for stitching together Visium capture areas and enables seamless
    downstream spatially-aware clustering methods to identify clusters
    on the stitched data. An example postmortem human brain dataset
    composed of 3 Visium capture areas was generated to demonstrate the
    utility of visiumStitched. The dataset is available from
    spatiaLIBD::fetch_data() version 1.17.8 or newer. The example data
    is described at https://research.libd.org/visiumStitched_brain/.
