## frbs 3.3-0 (22/7/2026)

### CRAN compliance fixes

* `DESCRIPTION`: Replaced deprecated `Author`/`Maintainer` fields with the
  modern `Authors@R` field using `person()` objects.

* `inst/CITATION`: Replaced deprecated `citEntry()` with `bibentry()`, and
  replaced `personList(as.person(...))` with `c(person(...))`.

* `man/summary.frbs.Rd`: Fixed two "lost braces" warnings reported by
  `checkRd`: added missing `\` before `code{"TRIANGLE"}`, and escaped bare
  curly braces around the example parameter vector.

* `vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib`: Added missing bibliography entries
  `randomforest2` (Breiman 2001, *Machine Learning*) and `nnet2`
  (Venables & Ripley 2002, *Modern Applied Statistics with S*) referenced in
  the vignette.

* `DESCRIPTION`, `man/frbs-package.Rd`, `inst/CITATION`: Updated all `http://`
  URLs to `https://`. Replaced broken `sci2s.ugr.es/dicits/software/FRBS` URL
  (returning HTTP 500) with the canonical CRAN package page
  `https://cran.r-project.org/package=frbs`.

* `inst/doc/*.pdf`: Compacted vignette PDFs with `tools::compactPDF(gs_quality
  = "ebook")` to remove the `R CMD check --as-cran` PDF size WARNING.

### Win-builder fixes

* `R/FRBS.MainFunction.R`, `NAMESPACE`: Addressed S3 method consistency NOTE by
  adapting `rep.rule` signature to `function(x, ...)` and registering
  `S3method(rep, rule)`.

* `vignettes/lala2015frbs.ltx`, `vignettes/lala2015pmml.Rtex`: Canonicalized
  URLs to `https://` and fixed the malformed CRAN URL
  `http://cran.r-project.org/package=frbs.`.

* `vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib`, `vignettes/lala2015pmml.bib`: Replaced
  non-canonical and unstable links with canonical `https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=...`
  URLs where applicable, and updated remaining references to modern `https://`
  endpoints.

* `vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib`: Fixed further URL redirects —
  `library.epfl.ch` → `https://www.epfl.ch/campus/library/fr/?nr=2634`,
  added missing trailing slash to `www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/`,
  and `http://www.rmetrics.org` → `https://www.rmetrics.org/`.

* `vignettes/lala2015pmml.Rtex`: Replaced two occurrences of the broken
  `sci2s.ugr.es/dicits/software/frbsJpmml` URL (returning HTTP 500) with
  `https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=frbs`.
