R/qtl version 1.38-4

[Karl Broman]

A new version of R/qtl (1.38-4) has been released at its web site

(http://www.rqtl.org) and will be on CRAN shortly.

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

changes are the following:

  Fixed a bug in scanone() when using weights with multiple phenotypes

  when some of the phenotypes contain missing values.

  Got rid of everything to do with degrees of freedom in scanone and

  scantwo. The checks seemed to offer little value but rather produced

  cryptic warnings that confused many users.

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

complaints.
