      options for \code{type = *}, notably \code{"ordratio"} and
      \code{"logratio"}.

      of semi-deprecated \code{data.class(x) == "dissimilarity")} to check.

      \item Using \code{deparse1()} from \R version 4.0.0 and newer (even

      \dQuote{in parallel} to \code{pam()}.

      \item the \code{silhouette()} method for \code{clara} now allows

      that for \code{print()}ing and (by default in the \code{main} title)
      for \code{plot()}ing \code{"clusGap"} objects.

      \item
      __ MOSTLY NOT IMPLEMENTED yet __ %%% TODO !!!

      \code{diana()} gets new optional argument \code{stop.at.k}.
      When a positive integer, the DIANA algorithm will stop early, as
      much desirable for large \eqn{n}.

  \subsection{Bug Fixes}{
    \itemize{
      \item \code{daisy()} gets 3+1 new options \code{warn*} which allow
      to suppress three different kind of warnings, as these are
      undesirable in some cases.  With thanks to Kirill Müller for the
      convincing context.

      \item \code{pam()} now signals an error when there are more than
      65536 observational units (whereas it could segfault previously),
      thanks to a patch from Mikko Korpela, Helsinki.

  \subsection{Bug Fixes}{
    \itemize{
      \item fix small glitch in silhouette's help page.

      \item Finally fixed a bug (in the original Fortran code from
      Rousseeuw!) in clara's distance computation when there are
      \code{NA}s in the data.  As the fix is not backward compatible,
      a warning is produced (for the time being) if there \emph{are}
      \code{NA}s and the user does not explicitly use \code{clara(*, correct.d = TRUE)}.
