# mets 1.3.10
  - changed the naming of some functions for RMTL and RMST `resmean.phreg` to
    `resmean_phreg` and  `cif.yearslost` to `cif_yearslost`. Naming of functions have 
    gone from `.` to `_`, for example `simul.cifs` have changed to `simul_cifs`. A few
    exceptions due to backward compability, and for the same reason 
    some functions appear with names with both `.` and `_`.
  - cumulative incidence simulation with delayed entry `simul_cifs`, `sim_cif`, `sim_cifs`   
  - extension of `recreg` (Ghosh-Lin model) and `cifreg` (logit and Fine-Gray
    (cloglog) model) to deal with administrative censoring and additional random
    censoring.

  - pepe-mori, score test, proportionality test based on IPCW formulation for
    right-censored data in `test_marginalMean`

    standard errors `logrankRecurrent` works for cumulative incidence and
    recurrent events (also Gray's test option for cumulative incidence)
