read_data() now automatically assigns increasing replicate numbers to sample groups (identical "Description" and "Concentration") if all of their replicate values are missing or NA.

fixed bug during the parsing of tidy data if the combinations of Description/Concentration/Replicate were not unique (e.g., multiple 'Blank' samples, Issue #11).
fixed bug that occured in tidy_to_custom() with format='row'.
bug fixes in report creation (Issue #9); safer handling of image file creation if erros occur.
fixed missing values in grouped plots with mean=True if some replicates contained missing measurement (Issue #9).
In group plots: remove rows in data groups in which all values are NA to avoid gaps in plots.
bug fix in group plots for data series of unequal lengths.
Factors are removed from tidy dataframes to prevent incompatibilities.
fix to correctly assign time vectors to samples during tidy data parsing, if multiple time vectors were present.
fixed bug while assembling 'gcTable' if only a single sample was processed.
revised roxygen documentation to comply with new CRAN checks

read_data() now accepts files or dataframe objects in tidy format
the shiny app now allows inspection of code used to run workflows and generate plots
Parametric fits have Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) added to the calculated parameters. The RMSE for each model fit has been also added to gcTable and the respective table within the shiny app.
TinyTeX is only installed from within the shiny app if the user explicitly approves.
added a [Q&A and Troubleshooting] vignette
added citation for publication Wirth et al. (2023)

the [sort by concentration] button for parameter plots in the shiny app now also is shown for data parsed from raw inputs, not only data parsed in custom format.
[Select read for fluorescence normalization] is not shown if Fluorescence is ignored.
Data is parsed correctly from CSV files if values are framed by explicit quotes

Report template .Rmd files are now copied into tempdir() before rendering to avoid bugs with restrictive write permissions.
In shiny app: Don’t show “Select Read for fluorescence normalization” if Fluorescence is [Ignore].

Issue #4: In shiny app, checkbox 'sort by concentration' did not show after loading an old RData file.
Fixed bug in Gen5/Gen6 parser if only one read type was present.
