In akin: Functional Utilities for Data Processing

akin 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN submission.

akin 0.1.1

• Resubmission.

akin 0.1.2

• Resubmission.

akin 0.1.3

• Resubmission

akin 0.1.4

• Resubmission

Added function 'common' which identifies common substrings inside a pair of chains

akin 0.2.0

• Bugfix: Removed delayed assignment which would prevent spanning the entire from-to window in function "common"
• Clarified some statements in the "Manual"

akin 0.2.1

• Removed package 'erer' from dependencies used by "tileData" function. The tiles list is now saved as "rds" file which can be conveniently read as list subsets by readRDS.

akin 0.3.0

• Added the experimental function "fcommon", a fast version of "common".

akin 0.3.1

• Expanded function "fcommon" capability to parallel processing for substrings longer than 20 characters. A local parallel plan is set when formal argument "strategy" receives a value. Pending on this, formal argments "workers" and "maxSize" may also receive values. Without a parallel plan, the function returns long substrings as they are with a message.

• Function "fcommon" output is no longer a closure but a character vector.

• Function "common" remains available.

• Modified the Manual accordingly.

• Added package "future" to Suggests and package "future.apply" to Depends in DESCRIPTION.

akin 0.3.2

• Minor changes to "fcommon" code.

• Added function "cover" which calculates the number of combinations for a common substring covering. Returns the "total", "min", "max" as a prettified, named vector and a plot on request.

• Modified the Manual accordingly.

• Function "common" is now deprecated.

akin 0.3.3

• Bugfix: Re-coded the sequence isolation in matrix indices routine which were missing few short substrings.

• Redesigned function "fcommon" which is now fully sequential.

• Expanded function "cover" capability to show a list of valid substrings out of the string covering using combinatorial method (recommended for short strings).

• Removed packages 'future.apply' from Depends and 'future' from Suggests in DESCRIPTION.

• Function "common" is now defunct.
