 Description: Quantify expression of transposable elements (TEs) from RNA-seq
     data through different methods, including ERVmap, TEtranscripts and
     Telescope. A common interface is provided to use each of these methods,

+CHANGES IN VERSION 1.10.0 (2024-04-27)
+--------------------------------------
+
+USER VISIBLE CHANGES
+
+    o Annotation metadata is now propagated to parameter and resulting SummarizedExperiment objects, which can be retrieved using  'mcols(features(x))' and 'mcols(rowRanges(x))' methods, respectively.
+
+    o The TE subclass annotation getter functions 'getLTRs()', 'getLINEs()', 'getSINEs()' and 'getDNAtransposons()' work now with both, parameter and resulting SummarizedExperiment objects.
+
+    o Manual pages and the vignette have been updated to illustrate the previous changes.
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o Several bug fixes, mostly in how annotation metadata was stored and propagated.
+
+CHANGES IN VERSION 1.6.0 (2023-04-20)
+-------------------------------------
+
+USER VISIBLE CHANGES
+
+    o Improvement of the accuracy of the atena expression quantification method.
+
+    o Fixed numerical instability in TEtranscripts method.
+
+    o Added function (.matchSeqinfo) to harmonize seqinfo() of object with alignments and object with feature annotations.
+
+    o Implemented 'OneCodeToFindThemAll' annotation parser for RepeatMasker annotations.
+
+    o Implemented 'atena' annotation parser for RepeatMasker annotations.
+
+    o Added examples in the vignettes of TE annotation preprocessing steps using the implemented parsers.
+
+    o Changed default value of geneFeatures to NULL in the parameters objects.
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o Fixed bug for not properly paired reads.
