+==== Version 2.4-0 (2020-03-19) ====
+  * version jump to 2.4-0 for CRAN release (from now on, even minor numbers for CRAN releases, odd numbers for development versions)
+  * the various ''forest()'' functions gain ''header'' argument
+  * ''escalc()'' gains ''include'' argument
+  * setting ''verbose=3'' in model fitting functions sets ''options(warn=1)''
+  * ''forest.rma()'' and ''forest.default()'' now throw informative errors when misusing ''order'' and ''subset'' arguments
+  * fixed failing tests due to the ''stringsAsFactors=FALSE'' change in the upcoming version of R
+  * ''print.infl.rma.uni()'' gains ''infonly'' argument, to only show the influential studies
+  * removed ''MASS'' from ''Suggests'' (no longer needed)
+  * argument ''btt'' can now also take a string to grep for
+  * added ''optimParallel'' as possible optimizer in ''rma.mv()''
+  * added (for now undocumented) option to fit models in ''rma.glmm()'' via the ''GLMMadaptive'' package (instead of ''lme4''); to try this, use: ''control=list(package="GLMMadaptive")''
+  * started to use numbering scheme for 'devel' version (the number after the dash indicates the devel version)
+  * added ''contrmat()'' function (for creating a matrix that indicates which groups have been compared against each other in each row of a dataset)
+  * added ''to.wide()'' function (for restructuring long format datasets into the wide format needed for contrast-based analyses)
+  * ''I^2'' and ''H^2'' are also shown in output for fixed-effects models
+  * argument ''grid'' in ''baujat()'' can now also be a color name
+  * added (for now undocumented) ''time'' argument to more functions that are computationally expensive
+  * added (for now undocumented) ''textpos'' argument to the various forest functions
+  * added a new dataset (''dat.graves2010'')
+  * added more tests
