Below is a summary of differences between the R script for GAT released in 2015 and the first beta release of the R package for GAT in 2020.
All changes prior to 2019 by Gwen Babcock.
Changes prior to 2019 are listed below as they were entered in the program comments, with minor formatting changes. Most do not appear to correspond directly to specific versions. Comments appear to cover a mix of actual and planned changes.

April 20, 2009 modify to put compactness ratio measure in output data
beta v5 June 21, 2010 change dialogs to add ‘back’ and ‘help’ options
