R/qtl version 1.40-8

[Karl Broman]

I released a new version of R/qtl (1.40-8) to CRAN a couple of weeks

ago, but I forgot to announce it or revise its web site

(http://www.rqtl.org) until now.

See http://www.rqtl.org/STATUS.txt for a list of changes.  The one major

change is the following:

  cim() now halts with an error for cross type "4way". The method has

  not been implemented for 4-way crosses, and the results are not

  meaningful.

As always, I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions or comments or

complaints.
