+* Initial version of the `visiumStiched` package that provides utilities for
+stitching together Visium capture areas and enables seamless downstream
+spatially-aware clustering methods to identify clusters on the stitched data.
+An example postmortem human brain dataset composed of 3 Visium capture areas
+was generated to demonstrate the utility of `visiumStitched`. The dataset is
+available from `spatiaLIBD::fetch_data()` version 1.17.8 or newer. The example
+data is described at <https://research.libd.org/visiumStitched_brain/>.
