Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

supportR Version 1.6.1

New Features

• spellcheck_quarto() runs spelling::spell_check_files() on all Quarto files (.qmd) that would be rendered (e.g., to make a website)

Documentation / Testing

• Updates maintainer email.

supportR Version 1.6.0

CRAN release: 2025-12-21

• count_diff() correctly handles counting of vector elements found in only one of the input vectors (i.e., should be 0 occurrences not NA occurrences).
• num_check() no longer flags a 0-length, ‘empty’ element as a non-number.
• diff_check() coerces dates into characters before evaluating vector differences because is.vector() returns FALSE for date vectors which erroneously produces an error in this function.

supportR Version 1.5.0

CRAN release: 2025-06-03

New Features

• count_diff() accepts two input vectors and counts the difference for each specified element (or all elements) between the two.

Bug Fixes

• replace_non_ascii() no longer returns inappropriate warning if include_letters = FALSE for non-ASCII letters when they were part of a larger string (e.g., “<non-ascii>xyz”).

Documentation / Testing

• Separates vignette into separate, smaller files that tutorialize thematic groups of functions with similar use-cases (e.g., quality control, data visualization).
• Namespaces all function examples.

supportR Version 1.4.0

CRAN release: 2024-06-13

New Features

• replace_non_ascii() replaces non-ASCII characters with ASCII characters that are as visually similar as possible.
• count() counts occurrences of each unique element in the provided vector.
• ordination() creates NMS and PCoA ordinations. Supersedes nms_ord() and pcoa_ord().
• nms_ord() and pcoa_ord() support modifying axis label text size and axis tickmark text size.

Documentation / Testing

• Begins adding unit tests for most functions in the package.

supportR Version 1.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-04-12

• force_num() coerces a vector to numeric and automatically silences any warnings (e.g., due to coercing values to NA).
• safe_rename() renames columns in a given dataframe by matching ‘bad’ names with ‘good’ names.
• tabularize_md() converts a markdown file into a table that retains the nested structure of any headings in the file.

supportR Version 1.2.0

CRAN release: 2023-08-22

New Features

• name_vec() creates a named vector of specified contents and names.
• github_tree() supports excluding no directories from the folder tree (this is the default behavior now).
• num_check() and date_check() accept multiple column names/numbers to col parameter.

Breaking Changes

• multi_num_check() and multi_date_check() are now deprecated because they are special case of num_check() and date_check() respectively.

supportR Version 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2023-07-08

New Features

• github_ls() lists contents of specified GitHub repository either recursively or only top-level/specified folder.
• github_tree() creates a file tree diagram for a specified GitHub repository.
• pcoa_ord() and nms_ord() include new parameters for changing point size (pt_size) and opacity (pt_alpha).

Bug Fixes

• Resolves typo in diff_check() message.

Documentation / Testing

• Refines and clarifies the package vignette.
• Adds example for crop_tri().

supportR Version 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2023-02-09
