Version 4.3 - 2015-09-08 (unreleased)

Updated the documentation. No changes to the model.

Version 4.2 - 2015-05-14 (unreleased)

Updated calculation of CVs. Switched density rasters to logarithmic breaks. No changes to the model.

Version 4.1 - 2015-03-06 (unreleased)

Updated the documentation. No changes to the model.

Version 4 - 2015-01-18 (unreleased)

Switched from DistToCanyon predictor to DistToCanyonOrSeamount and refitted models, to reduce edge effects with AFTT model.

Version 3 - 2015-01-17 (unreleased)

Removed CumVGPM180 predictor and refitted models. This was supposed to be version 2 but I left it in by mistake.

Version 2 - 2014-11-21 (unreleased)

Reconfigured detection hierarchy and adjusted NARWSS detection functions based on additional information from Tim Cole. Updated documentation.

Version 1 - 2014-10-20 (unreleased)
