Changelog • mcboost

Removed new functionality for survival tasks added in 0.4.0. A dependency, mlr3proba was removed from CRAN for now. The functionality will be added back when mlr3proba is re-introduced to CRAN. Users who wish to use mcboost for survival are adviced to use version 0.4.1 usetogether with the GitHub version of mlr3proba.
Improved stability of unit tests and example checks on CRAN.

Fixed unit error in unit tests that led to non-passing unit tests with new mlr3proba version.

[Experimental] mcboost now has experimental support for survival tasks. See MCBoostSurv and the corresponding vignette “MCBoostSurv - Basics” for more information.
