• This release is substantially simplified for the sake of maintainability and creating an R package. The old code that allows confidence intervals on the Q-Q plot and allows more flexible annotation and highlighting is still available at the version 0.0.0 tag.
• Special thanks to Dan Capurso and Tim Knutsen for useful contributions and bugfixes.
• Thanks to all the blog commenters for pointing out bugs and other issues.
