In animalnexus/feedr: Transforming Raw RFID Data

feedr 0.11.0

• Updated package to current dependency versions
• Splitting Shiny UI elements into a separate package to make maintaining this one easier

feedr 0.10.0

New features

• Add inout() function to calculate trips with RFID loggers are set up to determine directionality

Bug fix

• Fix load_format() so it lose millisecond information in times
• Convert length to numeric in presence() to avoid problems with ui_animate()
• Fix bug which crashed ui_trans()

feedr 0.9.1

• Fix bug wherein dates were converted using wrong timezone, occasionally resulting in wrong date
• Updated included datasets

feedr 0.9.0

Major Changes

• animalnexus.ca now includes 'Settings' tab to change function arguments
• New 'convert' functions: convert_asnipe, convert_anidom, convert_dominance, convert_perc, convert_activity to convert data for use by other packages (namely asnipe, aniDom, Dominance, Perc, activity)
• New summary options for map_leaflet() and map_ggmap(). These arguments perform common data summarizations before plotting, so users have the option of passing unsummarized movement and presence data.
• Removed the dom() function in favour of conversion functions. Dominance can be calculated by other packages.

Bug fixes/tweaks

• load_format(), ui_import() and animalnexus Import tab are now much more forgiving for column names
  • will ignores capitalizations
  • will accept lon, long, and longitude, as well as lat, and latitude for coordinates
  • will accept animal_id or bird_id, and logger_id or feeder_id
  • will rename all to be consistent: animal_id, logger_id, time, lon, lat
• load_format() has new verbose argument to allow/prevent messages about renaming
• load_raw() and load_raw_all() have new verbose argument to allow/prevent progress messages
• load_raw() and load_raw_all() stop if logger_ids extracted as NA

Other

• Internal changes to include more testing

• Update database service for animalnexus

Bug fixes

Bug fixes

• Timezone usage is more consistent and uses non-DST by default
• Fixed numerous timezone issues in animalnexus
• Fixed bug that prevented importing a second dataset in animalnexus
• Fixed bug that reverted to original database dataset if tried to load second dataset in animalnexus
• Species names are now English names
• Active dataset name only shows first data set if multiple files loaded
• Can't download data if zero selected
• Can't download empty zip in trans if no data available
• UI Trans gives more informative error when data is private
• UI animate forces a pause on inputs to prevent too much activity

feedr 0.8.0 (2016-12-08)

• Updated "Current activity" style
• Altered display of pictures of species/individuals on animalnexus.ca
• Added new documentation examples
• Renamed standalone shiny apps to reflect the user-interface
  • import_data() -> ui_import()
  • map_animate() -> ui_animate()
• Changed termniology to reflect more general usage
  • bird_id -> animal_id
  • feeder_id -> logger_id
  • feeding() -> presence()

Bug Fixes

• Fixed minor errors in activity(), move() and feeding()

• Fixed errors in documentation examples

• Changed factoring to allow use of dplyr's group_by to run transformations on groups of data (e.g. different sites or experiments)

• Update pass = TRUE to also keep track of data associated with date
• Update manual entries for various mods
• Add more details and descriptions to animal_nexus_.
• Add new column, move_id, to movements (output of move()).
