- Fixed: Small memory leak in ncvsurv.

- Internal: standardization more efficient
- Internal: cdfit_ now returns loss (RSS for gaussian, deviance for binomial)

- Changed: plot.ncvreg: Made the passing of arguments for plot.ncvreg more flexible, so that user can pass options concerning both the plot and the lines
- Changed: plot.ncvreg: Changed some of the default settings with respect to color (hcl instead of hsv) and line width
- Documentation: Updated documentation for cv.ncvreg.Rd, which no longer agreed with the function usage (this was an oversight in the release of version 2.2)
- New: plot.cv.ncvreg for plotting cv.ncvreg objects
- Changed: Divorced cross-validation from fitting in cv.ncvreg. From a user perspective, this increases flexibility, although obtaining the model with CV-chosen regularization parameter now requires two calls (to ncvreg and cv.ncvreg). The functions, however, are logically separate and involve entirely separate methods.
