Hi r4ss users,
Kathryn Doering and I have been having a discussion about
discontinuing support for Stock Synthesis 3.24 models in the {r4ss}
package. One proposal, discussed at https://github.com/r4ss/r4ss/issues/702,
would be to deprecate all the functions related to reading and writing
input files. This would leave the SS_output()
and SS_plots()
functions still working for 3.24 models. If necessary, we could
maintain support for 3.24 in SSsummarize()
and SSplotComparisons()
for the purpose of comparing old to new models. We do not plan to
support functions related to things like likelihood profiles and data
weighting for older versions.
If you are still using a 3.24 model and see a need for these
functions, please either reply to this forum message, post on the
github issue linked above, or write directly to me and Kathryn at
ian.taylor@noaa.gov and kathryn.doering@noaa.gov.
Also, if you would like support in converting 3.24 models to the
current version of Stock Synthesis, please get in touch.
-Ian
