Bootstrap.jl News and Changes

Version 2.4.0

Extend compatibility for Statistics, StatsBase, StatsModels and Random.
Clarify return value of confint. Contributed by Hector Perez (@hdavid16) (#95).
Update doc strings. Contributed by Hector Perez (@hdavid16) (#95).
Update documentation.

Extend supported versions of DataFrames to v1.0. Contributed by Bogumił Kamiński (@bkamins) (#83).
Update DOI badge.

Performance improvements through parameterized types. Contributed by David Widmann (@devmotion) (#66).
Specialized Jack-Knife estimator. Contributed by David Widmann (@devmotion) (#67).
Switch to Github Actions for testing and documentation generation (#75).
Update links to external webpages in the documentation (#75).
Extend support to Distributions v0.24 (#76).

Use upper bounds for dependencies. Contributed by Milan Bouchet-Valat (@nalimilan) (#74).

Support StatsModels v0.6 with FormulaTerm. Contributed by Dave Kleinschmidt (@kleinschmidt) (#57).
Use RDatasets instead of internal data sets. Contributed by David Widmann (@devmotion) (#60).
Fix deprecations in DataFrames and GLM (#62).
Increase compatibility with package management in newer julia versions (#61).

Update continuous integration configuration (#39)
Widen the signature for draw!: No longer restrict source and destination AbstractVectors to be of the same type, and switch to the more general AbstractMatrix type. Contributed by Dave Kleinschmidt (@kleinschmidt) (#43).
Improve error handling of BCaConfInt if all the input data has the same value. Contributed by Rory Finnegan (@rofinn) (#40).
Add Project.toml and Manifest.toml. Contributed by Colin Bowers (@colintbowers) (#48).
Restrict compatible versions of the StatsModels dependency. Contributed by Mike Molignano (@mmolignano) (#53).

Put the function argument first in the signatures (#26): Changes the bootstrap signature to have the function argument come first: bootstrap(statistic::Function, data, sampling). The old syntax has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
Integrate better with StatsBase function names (#24): Integrates with the naming of the equivalent functions in StatsBase.jl: Renames ci to confint and se to stderror. The old function names have been deprecated, and will be supported until the next major release. The motivation for these change is outlined in #23.

Maximum Entropy bootstrapping for dependent and non-stationary datasets (MaximumEntropySampling), contributed by Rory Finnegan (@rofinn).

Transition tests from FactCheck to Base.Test.
Introduces StatsModels as a new dependency which is now the new home of Formulas.
Use vectorized function calls for Distribution functions.
Removes the dependency on Compat.

Adds compatibility with julia 0.6 development versions, inc- Supports formula macros for DataFrame formulas (required for using DataFrames v0.9.0 or newer)
Fixes convergence errors of GLM models in parametric bootstrap test cases
Modernise automated test and coverage setup (also thanks to Tony Kelman for contributions)
Improves the readme (also thanks to Patrick Kofod Mogensen for contributions)
