layout: page

For latest release notes please visit the Releases page at GitHub. Bleeding-edge development is reflected in the ChangeLog and in the list of commits: The raw ProjectTemplate source code is always the place to go for ground truth.

The list of changes below covers all releases up to and including v0.4-2. It is not necessarily exhaustive.

v0.4-2

• Had to disable xlsx.reader temporarily because it does not build for 2.15.

v0.4-1

• Added 'eda.R' example file in 'src/' directory.
• Allow loading from 'cache/' without loading from 'data/' through 'cache_loading' setting.
• Revised documentation.

v0.3-6

• Added Postgres support through RPostgreSQL
• Very rough ODBC support. See example in ProjectTemplate:::sql.reader documentation.
• .dat files are now read as if they were .wsv files.
• Revised documentation.

v0.3-5

• Added a cache.project() function.
• as_factors configuration option suppresses automatic character-to-factor conversion.
• Implemented .zip support using temporary files.
• Added .mp3 support through the tuneR package.
• Added .ppm support through the pixmap package.
• data_tables configuration option automatically translates data sets into data.tables.
• Added unit tests for SPSS, Stata and SAS file formats.

v0.3-4

• Improved SQLite3 support:
• Load all tables from SQLite3 database using a .sql file: set table = "*"
• Load all tables from SQLite3 database automatically using .db extension.
• Added a .file type that can load files outside of the project directory.
• Renamed run.tests() to test.project().
• Added a stub.tests() function that autogenerates tests for helper functions.
• Added a show.project() function that gives all known information about a project's internal state.

v0.3-3

• Added a reload.project() function.
• Improved error handling.
• Renamed utilities.R to helpers.R.
• Fixed a bug in cache().

v0.3-2

• Added support for several new data formats.

v0.3-1

• Changed the configuration system from YAML to DCF format.
• Moved the data loading helper functions into separate files. They are no longer nested inside of load.project().
• Started controlling which functions are exported using a NAMESPACE file.
• Added the ability to create minimal projects as well as the full projects that existing users will be familiar with.
• Switched all the print() calls to message() calls.
• Fixed a bug in cache().

v0.2-1

• Version 0.2-1 adds the following directories:
• cache
• config
• logs
• munge
• src
• Inside the config directory, a global configuration file called config/global.yaml has been added that uses YAML syntax. This file provides the following configuration options:
• data_loading: This can be set to 'on' or 'off'. If data_loading is on, the system will load data from both the cache and data directories with cache taking precedence in case of name conflict.
• munging: This can be set to 'on' or 'off'. If munging is on, the system will execute the files in the munge directory sequentially. If munging is off, none of the files in the munge directory will be executed.
• logging: This can be set to 'on' or 'off'. If logging is on, a logger object using the log4r package is automatically created when you run load.project(). This logger will write to the logs directory. By default, logging is off.
• load_libraries: This can be set to 'on' or 'off'. If load_libraries is on, the system will load all of the R packages listed in the libraries field below.
• libraries: This is a YAML array listing all of the packages that the user wants to automatically load when load.project() is called.
