In dhope/ARUtools: Tools for management of Acoustic Recording Unit (ARU) data

ARUtools 0.5.1

New

• add_wildtrax() - New helper function to create and append Wildtrax file names

Bugs

• clean_gps() - Fixed errors when processing only GPX files

ARUtools 0.5.0

• clean_gps()
• can handle GPX files via sf now
• distance cutoff results in a warning (not an error), returning the data with the max_dist column, so users can see which site was problematic.
• now checks for distance by site groups aru_id and site_id by default
• pattern matches for GPS column headers have been expanded
• catches errors but continues reporting on failed loading (remove skip_bad argument)

• check_problems() now also checks GPS meta data

• create_pattern_XXX()

• Now accept multiple options
• all separators are non-optional, but provide "" as pseudo-optional

• create_pattern_site_id() ids do not have to have a suffix

• clean_metadata() accepts multiple pattern options

• clean_site_index() allows no date columns (col_date_time = NULL)

• add_sites()

• Rename dt_type to by_date
• Take mean of multiple sites with by_date = "date" (instead of truncating)

• Use by_date = NULL to skip joining by date range

• Workflow now works with sf input (must be POINT geometries)

• clean_site_index()
• add_sites()

• calc_sun()

• Timezones are now more explicit

• Expect local time marked with UTC
• Existing non-UTC timezones are stripped with a message

• Errors returned if there are more than one relevant date_time column with different timezones

• Vignettes

• Mini spatial workflow (vignettes/spatial.Rmd)
• Explaining timezones (vignettes/timezones.Rmd)

ARUtools 0.4.0.9000

• Major overhaul of first half of the workflow
• Main functions now
• clean_metadata()
• clean_gps() / clean_site_index()
• add_sites()
• calc_sun()
• Helper functions for checking, and for creating regex patterns
