start preparing release

@tjmahr CRAN asked for a release with the fixes from #254 so I'll submit what we currently have on master. The open PRs can wait.

-* Added `ppc_dens_overlay_grouped()` and `ppc_ecdf_overlay_grouped()` for
-  plotting density and cumulative distributions of the posterior predictive
-  distribution (versus observed data) by group. (#212)
+### Bug fixes
+
+* `mcmc_areas()` tries to use less vertical blank space. (#218, #230)
 
 * Fix bug in `color_scheme_view()` minimal theme (#213).
 
-* On the y axis, `ppc_loo_pit_qq(..., compare = "normal")` now plots standard
-  normal quantiles calculated from the PIT values (instead of the standardized
-  PIT values). (#240, #243, @fweber144)
+* Fix error in `mcmc_acf()` for certain input types. (#244, #245, @hhau)
+
+### New features
+
+* New plotting functions `ppc_dens_overlay_grouped()` and `ppc_ecdf_overlay_grouped()`
+  for plotting density and cumulative distributions of the posterior predictive
+  distribution (versus observed data) by group. (#212)
 
 * New plotting function `ppc_km_overlay()` for outcome variables that are   
   right-censored. Empirical CCDF estimates of `yrep` are compared with the
   Kaplan-Meier estimate of `y`. (#233, #234, @fweber144)
+  
+* `ppc_loo_pit_overlay()` now uses a boundary correction for an improved kernel
+  density estimation. The new argument `boundary_correction` defaults to TRUE but
+  can be set to FALSE to recover the old version of the plot. (#171, #235,
+  @ecoronado92)
 
 * CmdStanMCMC objects (from CmdStanR) can now be used with extractor
   functions `nuts_params()`, `log_posterior()`, `rhat()`, and
   `neff_ratio()`. (#227)
+  
+* On the y axis, `ppc_loo_pit_qq(..., compare = "normal")` now plots standard
+  normal quantiles calculated from the PIT values (instead of the standardized
+  PIT values). (#240, #243, @fweber144)
 
-* Added missing `facet_args` argument to `mcmc_rank_overlay()`. (#221, @hhau)
+* `mcmc_rank_overlay()` gains argument `facet_args`. (#221, @hhau)
 
-* Size of points and interval lines can set in
+* For `mcmc_intervals()` the size` of the points and interval lines can be set with
   `mcmc_intervals(..., outer_size, inner_size, point_size)`. (#215, #228, #229)
 
-* `mcmc_areas()` tries to use less blank vertical blank space. (#218, #230)
-
-* `ppc_loo_pit_overlay()` now uses a boundary correction for an improved kernel
-  density estimation. The new argument `boundary_correction` defaults to TRUE but
