• Squashed more execution bugs (#65).

strata 1.4.3

Bug Fixes

• adhoc() will now properly match strata (#58)

• Script execution ordering will now behave when there are many scripts (#59).

strata 1.4.0

This release is all about bug fixes and improvements to the user experience.

Breaking Changes

• Added dependency for R >= 4.1.0 due to use of base R pipe |>.

New features

• adhoc() added to allow users to ad hoc a portion of their strata project by name (instead of having to remember all the different file paths) (#46).

• survey_log() added to allow users to survey the logs in their strata project as a dataframe (#41, #43).

• Added stricter strata project checking (#48).

• added stricter path checking for functions that require paths to existing files and folders.

• added more helpful error messages for users regarding paths,

• Functions will now check if a folder is a strata project or not and provide helpful error messages if they are not strata projects.

Fixes

• File name/path cleaning performed by strata to ensure valid path names will will now stop blocking certain path/name manipulations.

• adhoc_stratum() will now properly handle existing file paths and avoid errors stating otherwise (#44).

• build_execution_plan() now properly handles the case where a laminae from different strata have the same name (#52).

• The timestamp in the log_*() family of functions will now always be 24 characters long (#40).

• build_outlined_strata_project() will now allow for multiple laminae per stratum (#36).

Minor Improvements

• File name/path cleaning performed by strata to ensure valid path names will now ignore dashes "-" in file names.

• adhoc_*() functions will now "fail fast", stop execution and alert users of problems (#45).

strata 1.0.1

Initial CRAN Release.

Breaking Changes

• Removed lubridate dependency due to license mismatch.

• Renamed path argument to project_path in build_stratum().
