Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

SciViews 1.6.1

• An old addin to insert : is removed.

SciViews 1.6.0

• Packages {tabularise} and {inferit} added.

• Default for silent= argument of SciViews::R is now TRUE

• The parameter threads.percent= argument is added to SciViews::R. It defines the percentage of threads that both {data.table} and {collapse} can use for their parallelized code.

SciViews 1.5.0

• Topics are now implemented in SciViews::R. One can specify, for instance, SciViews::R("model") to load more packages related to modeling with regressions. Current topics are ‘infer’, ‘model’, ‘explore’, ‘ml’, ‘ts’ and ‘spatial’. It is possible to specify more than one topic.

• The new function sciviews_packages_topics() lists all packages required for each topic.

• SciViews::R has now a new argument lang= to specify the default language to use. Hence, SciViews::R(lang = "fr") will set French as the default language used by functions like data.io::read(), or for plot axes labels or title.

SciViews 1.4.0

• {tidyverse} is not loaded any more, but a selected series of tidyverse packages useful for SciViews::R.

• SciViews::R has now an argument to set which is the default data frame object to use (data.frame, tibble, or data.table with as_dtx=). The default value is data.table. In all cases, a message is printed to clearly indicate which is the default.

• Startup messages with SciViews::R are now more complete regarding functions conflicts (it does not use tidyverse_conflicts() any more).

SciViews 1.3.0

• The {svBase}, {data.table}, {dtplyr} and {collapse} packages are now included in the list of the SciViews::R packages. With {svBase} the preferred data frame object is now data.table, and since {dtplyr} is loaded, it is used for {dplyr} verbs by default.

SciViews 1.2.0

• Change dependency to {svFlow} instead of {flow} after that package was renamed.

SciViews 1.1.2

• Restrict {cli} and {crayon} imports to avoid a conflict with num_ansi_colors() that is defined in both packages when called from ansi::num_colors().

• {rmarkdown} dependency added to suggests field for the vignettes.

SciViews 1.1.1

• panel_smooth() is reworked to avoid a bug in the documentation. It still calls graphics::panel.smooth() internally.

• A ‘pkgdown’ web site is added.

SciViews 1.1.0

• ‘flow’, ‘chart’, and ‘data.io’ are now part of the packages automatically loaded by SciViews::R.

SciViews 1.0-0

• SciViews::R is the instruction to use to load all required packages to install a complete SciViews::R dialect (R base + tidyverse + …).

SciViews 0.9-14

• Better definition of lg(), lb() and ln1p().

SciViews 0.9-13

CRAN release: 2018-01-06

• ‘correlation’ objects are now ‘Correlation’ to avoid clash with ‘correlation’ objects from ‘nlme’ package.

• Doc rewritten in Roxygen2 and R Markdown (keeping only pca vignette). More strict importFrom() in particular from ‘ellipse’ package.

• Elimination of files.R, character.R & graphics.R (experimental code that never reached CRAN).

• Code rewritten to match tidyverse style guide. Functions that are not snake case like rwb.colors() or panel.hist() now are seconded by they equivalent rwb_colors() or panel_hist().

SciViews 0.9-12

• Switch from R-Forge to GitHub https://github.com/SciViews/SciViews. CI added.

SciViews 0.9-12

• p() is renamed p0() to avoid a clash with p() in the ‘ascii’ package.

• rx objects are renamed regex and perl objects are renamed pcre.

• fileSymlink() is renamed fileSymLink() for correct camel case support.

SciViews 0.9-11

• path object is renamed filePath to avoid a clash with a path object in ‘grid’ package. Related function path(), is.path(), as.path() are renamed accordingly filePath(), is.filePath() and as.filePath(). The print() method is also adapted.

• warnAssignWithEqualSign, warnPartialMatchArgs, warnPartialMatchAttr and warnPartialMatchDollar in options() are now initialized to FALSE if they are not defined yet there.

SciViews 0.9-10

• Import from data.table is eliminated. For now, @:= is the same as @<-.

• Temporary objects are now saved in SciViews:TempEnv instead of TempEnv.

SciViews 0.9-9

• Improvements to activate warnings regarding possible R traps: if warnPartialMatchArgs, warnPartialMatchAttr, or warnPartialMatchDollar options are not defined yet, they are set to TRUE when the packages loads.

• For a similar purpose, we would like to avoid using = in place of <- for assignation. So, the = function is redefined to display a warning when it is used and when warnAssignWithEqualSign option is set to TRUE (by default). The warning message also suggests it may be == erroneously written =.

• Many functions are added with more coherent names for graphics.

SciViews 0.9-8

• Several changes in character.R.

• Added the rwg.colors() function.

SciViews 0.9-7

• Small corrections in man pages.

• Partial argument matching for all(.names) in names(). Fixed.

SciViews 0.9-6

• Added further (misc) functions.

• New syntax using x@attr for attributes, plus := for replacement by reference inspired from data.table package, which SciViews now imports too.

SciViews 0.9-5

CRAN release: 2014-03-02

• Added functions to homogenize function names for strings and files manipulations.

SciViews 0.9-4

CRAN release: 2011-07-26

• The gamma argument in hsv() function disappears in R 2.14.0. As a consequence, the same gamma argument is dropped from rwb.colors(), ryg.colors() and cwm.colors().

SciViews 0.9-3

• A bug in svd.pca() subfunction of pcomp.default() was corrected.

SciViews 0.9-2

CRAN release: 2010-09-27

• Slight style refactoring of R code and man pages.

SciViews 0.9-1

CRAN release: 2010-04-02

• Added lb() function as a synonym of log2().

SciViews 0.9-0

• This is the first version on R-forge. There used to be a SciViews bundle that contained ‘svMisc’, ‘svSocket’, ‘svGUI’, …, but bundles are obsolete now. The new ‘SciViews’ package plays a similar role as the bundle.
