In iemisc: Irucka Embry's Miscellaneous Functions

iemisc 1.0.4 (23 September 2023)

• Received an e-mail issue from Kurt Hornik on 19 August 2023 regarding the use of "@docType package" which is no longer valid. Replaced the iemisc.R file with iemisc-package.R to reflect the requested change.
• Added the chem.databases package to Imports to replace CHNOSZ which has been removed from Imports
• Added printr to Suggests to allow the printing of help functions in the vignettes & added tibble and lintr to Suggests
• Modified the Help section on the README again & Added the additional available function to the README
• Revised the URL for Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds Technical Release 55 (TR-55) in the weighted_CN function Reference
• Revised the air_stripper function to search for the CAS Number in the atsdr_tsca_ld50_a data set of the chem.databases package. Also revised the package to obtain the molecular formulas and average mass from the chem_wiki data set of the chem.databases package
• Added the "%inorder%" function to return character vectors in a given sequence
• Added the c_composite_CN function for connected impervious areas
• Added the uc_composite_CN function for unconnected impervious areas
• Replaced the T for temperature variable with Temp for temperature in all functions after doing a lintr check on the package to attempt to locate an error causing the references not to be valid in the Manningtrap function
• Added an additional contributor for the "%inorder%" function
• Created the Sound Frequencies & Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 Theory vignette and modified all other vignettes. The most significant revisions were made in the Comparing Other Hydraulic Software Output to iemisc’s Manningtrap for Critical Conditions & Construction Measurement Examples vignettes

iemisc 1.0.3 (3 May 2023)

• Modified the Help section and the package introduction on the README
• Revised the non-standard evaluation of library calls to standard evaluation calls in the README and in all functions
• Revised some grammatical issues in various functions
• Revised the splitcomma function to allow for a set of names in a single character vector to be separated by " & "
• Revised the reduce_single_digit function to allow for date times and vectors with decimals
• Revised all of the vignettes -- removed the PNG image for the Creative Commons license due to it failing consistently on certain OSes. Also added the EcoC²S services link to all of the vignettes as well.
• Added the notchin function (Negate chin from data.table and Negate in from base R) to determine which character or numeric vectors are not in a set of character or numeric vectors
• Added the surface_area (for calculating the linear surface area) & rain_garden_driveway (for sizing a rain garden based on driveway surface areas) functions
• Removed qdapTools from Imports as Prof Brian Ripley sent an e-mail that qdapTools is scheduled for archival on 6 May 2023 due to failing the CRAN checks. The lookupQT (lookup in qdapTools) and lookup_helperQT (lookup_helper in qdapTools) functions have been added to the package to avoid iemisc from being archived on that date too. The existing functions have been modified to use lookupQT instead of lookup.

iemisc 1.0.2 (4 March 2023)

• CRAN update to move from archived back to active state
• Added formatR to Suggests to fix the CRAN ERROR message on certain systems & added pander to Suggests to print better LaTeX tables for the vignettes. Some of the tables in the vignettes are created using kable from knitr.
• Modified octave to octave eval = FALSE in vignettes where GNU Octave was called to avoid the CRAN ERROR message on certain systems where GNU Octave was not present
• Added a check in the frac_to_numeric function to issue an error message when the length of n > 1 exists to correct the failed tests on some systems
• Added both author and encoding fields to the various functions where those 2 items were missing [f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, kin_visc_water, lat_long2utm, Manningcircy, Manningtrap_critical, Re2, Re3, Re4]
• Added more assert_that clauses to both the weighted_CN and weighted_C functions
