These are the most notable changes in FLCore 2.6.6:

FLCore 2.6.6

 NEW FEATURES

- window(FLStocks) method to apply same window call across all elements.
- combine(FLStocks) method collapses all elements into a single FLStock object.
  with as many iters as elements in the list, must all have 1 iter.
- combine(FLQuants, FLQuants) merges them one element at a time.
- drop(FLQuant) returns the result of a call to base::drop on @.Data.
- New verify() method for complex classes evaluates object against a set of
  rules. Checks content rather than structure, as validity functions do.
- New ruleset method to return standard verify rules per class.
- window() and expand() methods for FLPar.
- iter() method for FLlst, lapplies it along the list

 USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

- propagate(FLPar) to return object if iter == iters #45.
- Ratios of numbers written in alternative ways now also return an empty character.

 BUG FIXES

- dimnames<- for FLStock with no ages failed when changing age name #42.
- uom can now handle better products with units containing divisions.
- coerce(FLBiol, FLBiolcpp) will now extend srparam to have as many years as the
  object, to allow params per time period to be passed and used.
- coerce(FLBiol, FLBiolcpp) now windows FLPar if year is given.
- trim(FLBiol) is able to handle predictModel slots.
- [[<- and $<- FLlst now work on extended classes, like predictModel.
- predict(predictModel) now handles correctly iters and extra FLPar dimensions.

 DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
- catchSel is to be substituted by catch.sel, use the later instead
- wt<-(FLStock) is to be deprecated, use the individual accessor methods instead
