 * `NEWS.md` (this file) added so that users can readily see changes that may affect the use of the package.
 * Documentation now available in `pkgdown` sites (https://r-hyperspec.github.io/).
 * Introductory vignette reorganized and enhanced, thanks to Bryan Hanson.
+* Dataset `faux_cell` and function `generate_faux_cell()` replace `chondro` dataset (#125, #156, #180, #229).
 * Portions of `hyperSpec` were spun out into their own packages for ease of maintenance. 
 **--- ELABORATE ---**
     - Dataset `chondro` was moved to package **hySpc.chondro** (https://r-hyperspec.github.io/hySpc.chondro/).

+    - Functions `read.spe()`, `spe.showcalpoints()` were deprecated due to analogous functionality in package **hySpc.read.spe** (https://r-hyperspec.github.io/hySpc.read.spe/).
+    - Functions `read.mat.Cytospec()`, `read.mat.Witec()` were deprecated due to analogous functionality in package **hySpc.read.mat** (https://r-hyperspec.github.io/hySpc.read.mat/).
+    - Function `read.jdx()` was deprecated due to analogous functionality in package **hySpc.read.jdx** (https://r-hyperspec.github.io/hySpc.read.jdx/).
