About Rpath
Rpath 1.1.0 learns to read Ecopath's own files, easing migration off the desktop tool.
Rpath is NOAA's R implementation of the Ecopath with Ecosim mass-balance equations for marine food web models. The feed is an archive backfill and arrives out of version order, with several entries carrying only a journal abstract instead of release notes. The substantive recent work is 1.0.0, which paired real ecosim bug fixes with the documentation and packaging expected of a 1.0, and 1.1.0, which adds .eiixml import and new balance estimation.
