Dear lavaan users,
A new version of lavaan (0.6-20) has been released. Apart from many small fixes, this release has two main features:
1) lavaan now fully supports 'composite-based SEM'; see the arxiv paper here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.06112
2) local sam (using the sam() function) has been extended and now supports higher-order factors, twostep.robust standard errors, local standard errors, and more.
When se = "local" is used with local sam, it is almost 100% local. This is not the default yet (in 0.6-20), but we hope to have this ready for 0.6-21.
Yves.

Great!
I was wondering whether these features are now available in lavaan.mi too, or if they might be added in the near future.
Best,
A
