Changes in version 0.5.0                        

  - Initial CRAN submission.

Features

  - Bifactor ESEM (B-ESEM), standard ESEM, and CFA for continuous and
    ordered-categorical data.
  - Continuous models via 'lavaan' native efa() blocks (MLR).
  - Ordered-categorical ESEM via 'lavaan' WLSMV; ordered B-ESEM via a
    custom diagonally weighted least squares (DWLS) path with polychoric
    correlations from 'psych', rotation-delta standard errors via
    'numDeriv', and mean-and-variance-adjusted chi-square.
  - Target, geomin, and oblimin rotations via 'GPArotation'; the
    bifactor ESEM approach follows Morin, Arens and Marsh (2016).
  - Multi-group measurement invariance (configural through strict, with
    partial invariance), ESEM-within-CFA conversion, McDonald's omega
    reliability suite, and the Mehrvarz and Rouder (2026)
    alignment-ratio check for ICM-CFA misspecification.
  - Optional side-by-side comparison with Mplus output via
    'MplusAutomation'.
