Changes in version 1.7.0 (2025-04-24) o Update maintainer emails o Bug fixes Changes in version 1.6.2 (2024-04-23) o Enable parallelization over a list of scGate models (in multi-classifier mode) o Fix bug on parallelization when specifying BPPARAM o Added cell ontology links for controlled cell type dictionary o Update accessor functions for compatibility with Seurat v5 Changes in version 1.4.0 o Use function SmoothKNN() from the UCell package for nearest neighbor smoothing of signature scores o Clean up code for CRAN submission Changes in version 1.2.0 o Simultaneously evaluate multiple gating models, given as a list to model parameter. This returns individual gatings as well as a combined cell type annotation from all the models (scGate_multi metadata column), and allows running scGate as a multi-class classifier and annotate cell types in a dataset. o New reduction parameter: this i) Allows nearest-neighbor smoothing on an existing dimensionality reduction (e.g. "pca" or "harmony") and ii) Can significantly speed up computation time and annotation of integrated objects
