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 - 2015-02-02 (unreleased)

Updated the documentation. No changes to the model.

Version 4 - 2015-01-09 (unreleased)

Added one missing sighting and refitted models.

Version 3 - 2014-11-14 (unreleased)

Adjusted "Without Belly Observers" detection function. Removed CumVGPM180 predictor. Updated documentation.

Version 2 - 2014-10-17 (unreleased)

Adjusted g(0) estimates based on feedback from September 2014 review. Adjusted proxy species used in certain detection functions to be consistent with other dolphin species. Removed distance to eddy and wind speed predictors from on shelf model. Fixed missing pixels in several climatological predictors, which led to not all segments being utilized.

Version 1 - 2014-09-07 (unreleased)
