Hi,

I'm the new maintainer for the package discordant. I've finished some updates 
to the package, but I am uncertain whether it would be better to update the 
package in 3.14 or push to the 3.15 devel branch. The key changes to the 
package are fixes to the C backend (now Rcpp) that prevent crashes from 
divide-by-zero errors, as well as a few other bug fixes. However, the changes 
also include altering two exported functions' default argument values (although 
the argument names remain the same). A more thorough list of changes is 
provided below. So, is it preferable to push the changes to 3.14, or should I 
push to the 3.15 branch?

Notable changes:

  *   Fix bugs from problematic combinations of arguments (which includes 
altering two argument default values)
  *   Rewrite C backend in C++ (Rcpp), catch divide-by-zero errors, fix build 
warning
  *   Fix data labelling bug
  *   Refactor much of the code including composing several internal functions
  *   Update Vignette from sweave to knitr (and from PDF to HTML)
  *   Update reference manual, description, namespace (add a few imports), 
news, readme

Thank you for your time,
Max
