In trackdown: Collaborative Editing of Rmd (or Rnw) Documents in Google Drive

trackdown (development version)

trackdown 1.1.1 (CRAN release)

Fix issue encoding in Windows. Now trackdown does not assume "UTF-8" encoding but it relies on "native.enc".

trackdown 1.1.0

New features:

• Introduce (experimental) argument rm_gcommentsin download_file() to automatically remove Google comments when downloading the file (See issue #25).
• Introduce support for child .Rmd and .Rnw files (documents without headers).

Argument hide_code = TRUE can now be used regardless of whether the file contains header code and/or chunks or not. This fixed the issues #22 and #24.

trackdown 1.0.2

Fix issue #21

trackdown 1.0.1

Fix issue #17 and issue #19

trackdown 1.0.0 (CRAN release)

Initial CRAN release

Minor changes to fix cran checks:

• googledrive dependency set to (> 1.0.1) and cli (>= 3.0.0)
• use relative path to specify fixture and vcr_files folders in unit-tests

trackdown 0.1.1

Following the release of googledrive version 2.0.0 (link), on which trackdown is based to interact with Google Drive, we updated the internal functions. In particular:

• Set googledrive (>= 2.0.0) in the Imports field of the DESCRIPTION file.
• Substitute team_drive_\*() deprecated functions and team_drive = deprecated arguments with the new shared_drive_*() functions and shared_drive = argument in all the googledrive functions used internally by trackdown.
• Remove verbose = deprecated argument from the googledrive functions used internally by trackdown. Instead, the function googledrive::local_drive_quiet() is used.
• Update unit-tests

trackdown 0.1.0

Stable version after the full revision of the package previously named rmdrive

The workflow follows the same idea as before, but there are several new features and changes. The main ones are:

• File Supported: Both .Rmd and .Rnw documents are supported
• Hide Code: Code in the header of the document (YAML header or LaTeX preamble) and code chunks can be removed from the document when uploading to Google Drive and will be automatically restored during download. This prevents collaborators from inadvertently making changes to the code which might corrupt the file and allows them to focus on the narrative text.
• Upload Output: The actual output document (i.e., the rendered file) can be uploaded to Google Drive in conjunction with the .Rmd (or .Rnw) document. This helps collaborators to evaluate the overall layout (including figures and tables) and allows them to add comments to suggest and discuss changes.
• API Speed: Now the upload to and download from Google Drive is faster.
• Documentation: Rich e detailed documentation is available at https://ekothe.github.io/trackdown/
