EnhancedVolcano 1.12

added max.overlaps and min.segment.length to provide further control over connectors. max.overlaps replaces maxoverlapsConnectors, but both can still be used for legacy purposes

added functionality to parse expressions in labels via parseLabels (TRUE/FALSE)
over-rides ggrepel's new default value for max.overlaps via introduction of maxoverlapsConnectors = 15
user can now specify a direction for connectors via directionConnectors
removed labhjust and labvjust
added pCutoffCol (via Andrea Grioni)

added functionality to encircle variables of interest
added option to remove arrowheads on connectors
added option to rasterise images via ggrastr::geom_point_rast (Benjamin Ostendorf)
changed axis.text.y = element_text(..., vjust = 1.0) to 0.5 (Benjamin Ostendorf)

removed legendVisible and pLabellingCutoff parameters
deprecated transcriptPointSize, transcriptLabSize, transcriptLabCol, transcriptLabFace, transcriptLabhjust, transcriptLabvjust, boxedlabels, and drawconnectors parameters
now pad xlim by +/- 1
moved default position of labels to be central to its respective point
added 'colGradient', which colours points continuously based on p-value

modified behaviour where a p-value of 0 is found: now converts these to 10^-1 * lowest non-zero p-value
added new paremeter 'legendLabels', which allows user to use expressions in the legend label
added support for tibbles
transcriptPointSize, transcriptLabSize, transcriptLabCol, transcriptLabFace, transcriptLabhjust, and transcriptLabvjust now deprecated. Use pointSize, labSize, labCol, labFace, labhjust, and labvjust, respectively, instead
pointSize default changed to 2.0
boxedlabels now deprecated. Use boxedLabels

added functionality to shade specific genes in the plot space (parameters: shade, shadeLabel, shadeAlpha, shadeFill, shadeSize, shadeBins)
added new parameters 'labhjust' and 'labvjust' for fine tuning position of labels
suppress warnings about removal of missing values
now easier to hide the legend via legendVisible = TRUE/FALSE
changed 'colOverride' to 'colCustom'
added a new 'shape' parameter to control the shape of plotted points
added a new 'shapeCustom' parameter, akin to functionality supplied by 'colCustom' (formerly 'colOverride')
added functionality to add title, subtitle, and caption (parameters: title, subtitle, caption, titleLabSize, subtitleLabSize, captionLabSize = 12)
added functionality to add extra vertical and horizontal lines (parameters: hline, hlineType, hlineCol, hlineWidth, vline, vlineType, vlineCol, vlineWidth)
changed 'colConnectors' default from "black" to "grey10"
added extra parameters for line connectors (parameters: typeConnectors, endsConnectors, lengthConnectors)
'labhjust' and 'labvjust' are now 'transcriptLabhjust' and 'transcriptLabvjust', respectively
user can now specify to draw transcript labels as text and text in boxes via 'boxedlabels' (TRUE/FALSE)
drawconnectors now deprecated. Use drawConnectors

user can now supply her/his/its own colour vector to label the points
default is to now draw grid lines and only have left and bottom borders
when selectLab is not NULL, even variables that do not pass the thresholds are now labelled along with those that do, even when DrawConnectors is either TRUE or FALSE.
correctly catches non-numeric x and / or y variables, and throws error.
the function now tolerates P values of 0 (zero) and replaces these with the lowest possible double value, given a user's specific computer architecture and R version.
