* The functions `get_dist`, `get_generation_time`, `get_incubation_period` have been deprecated and replaced with examples. By @sbfnk in #481 and reviewed by @seabbs.
* The utility function `update_list()` has been deprecated in favour of `utils::modifyList()` because it comes with an installation of R. By @jamesmbaazam in #491 and reviewed by @seabbs.
* The `fixed` argument to `dist_spec` has been deprecated and replaced by a `fix_dist()` function. By @sbfnk in #503 and reviewed by @seabbs.
* Updated `estimate_infections()` so that rather than imputing missing data, it now skips these data points in the likelihood. This is a breaking change as it alters the behaviour of the model when dates are missing from a time series but are known to be zero. We recommend that users check their results when updating to this version but expect this to in most cases improve performance. By @seabbs in # and reviewed by @sbfnk.
