Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

Version 2.1.1

New Features

  • standardize() runs check_key() internally before attempting to standardize data with that key.
  • check_key() now rejects “source” as a user-specified “tidy_name” in the data key. Necessary to reserve “source” for storing the file name in the standardized output.

Documentation & Testing

  • Adds unit tests for check_key().
  • Updates maintainer email.

Version 2.1.0

CRAN release: 2025-09-02

New Features

  • standardize() warning message for columns found in key but not data is more succinct.

Documentation & Testing

  • Updates affected units tests for ggplot2 version 4.0.0.

Version 2.0.0

CRAN release: 2025-03-26

Breaking Changes

  • Deprecates make_json() due to loss of key dependency.

New Features

  • check_key() ensures a column key is properly formatted to work with harmonize().
  • standardize() uses the provided column key to standarize a single dataset (from a named list).
  • harmonize() runs in approximately half the time for large (i.e., >5 MB) raw data files.

Version 1.2.0

CRAN release: 2025-02-21

  • expand_key() generates rows for a column key for only those raw data files that are not already in an existing key or in an existing harmonized data table.

Version 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2024-09-20

New Features

  • make_json() creates a JSON containing name/value pairs from a named vector. Optionally adds the JSON file name to the .gitignore if one is found in the working directory.
  • solar_day_info() identifies sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and day length for all dates within a user-specified range at particular coordinates.
  • harmonize() includes new defensive warning/error checks with informative messages for likely sources of error.

Documentation & Testing

  • Unit tests added for all functions currently in package.

Version 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2024-02-23

  • read() reads in all data files in a particular folder and stores them in a list.
  • begin_key() creates the start of a “column key” for data harmonization.
  • harmonize() performs column key-based harmonization of raw data.
  • cv() calculates coefficient of variation for a vector of numbers.
  • convert_temp() converts temperature values from one specified unit to another.
  • site_timeline() creates a ggplot2-style timeline of all sites that meet the user-specified criteria.
