New features

NMreadSim() has a new argument called rm.tmp which is used to
remove the intermediate NONMEM files if they are successfully
read. Remember, NMreadSim() creates a compressed results data set
which will be read by NMreadSim() in future function calls, so
unless debugging is needed on the simulation control streams and
files returned by NONMEM running the simulations, it may be better
to delete the intermediate files altogether and save the disk space.
expandCovs() has a new argument reduce.ref which defaults to
TRUE meaning that by default there will be only one reference
combination. If FALSE expandCovs() will return one reference for
each covariate. The forest plot can be evaluated with just one
reference simulation.
New function summarizeCovs() introduced to summarize simulation
results for forest plots. This function is closely related to expandCovs()
NMsim() no longer requires NONMEM to be available if
reuse.results=TRUE and NONMEM does not need to be run.

NMsim 0.1.4 would not submit jobs to cluster when number of cores
was nc=1. Fixed. Workaround in 0.1.4, use nc=2.
NMsim 0.1.4 erroneously concluded jobs had failed when sent to the
cluster if there was no existing queue. This is due to the exit
status of qsub in such cases. This has been fixed. As a workaround
in 0.1.4, just run your sim again once the queue has been initiated
by the first NMsim called.
When NONMEM failed in 0.1.4, NMsim might not return debugging
info. Fixed.
