plavaan 0.0.2

• Added penalized_est_multistart() and support for custom optimizer starting values via start in penalized_est().
• Minor changes to speed up the optimization process.

Breaking Changes

• Penalty metric for factor loadings: The penalty for cross-group differences in factor loadings is now computed on the original scale (\(\lambda_{g1} - \lambda_{g2}\)) rather than the log scale (\(\log(\lambda_{g1}) - \log(\lambda_{g2})\)).
