In peterhurford/batchman: A wrapper for R methods to run them in arbitrary batches

v1.3.0.9005

• Swapped out the progress bar for another R package.
• Re-pass R CMD CHECK.
• Pass lintr.

v1.3.0.9004

• Enable R CMD CHECK on Travis.
• Pass R CMD CHECK.

v1.3.0.9003

• Add rocco docs and staticdocs.
• Cleaned up variable names and function orders to make things more clear.

v1.3.0.9002

• Removes the batbelt dependency.

v1.3.0.9001

• Aliases unbatched to get_before_fn.

v1.3.0.9000

• Added a parameter parallel, to execute batches in parallel.

v1.2.0

• Added a parameter sleep, to sleep between batch calls.

v1.1.0

• Introduces the ability to set options(batchman.verbose = TRUE) to dynamically turn on verbosity.
• Added a test for combine with integers.
• Refactors the codebase for improved readibility.
• Fixed a bug in the progress bar.

v1.0.0

• Integrated robust_batch into batch, using a retry parameter. This change is NOT backwards compatible.

v0.3.2

• verbose is now TRUE by default in interactive mode (where interactive() evaluates to TRUE), and FALSE by default in non-interactive mode.

v0.3.1

• Switches verbose to batchman.verbose so as to not collide with verbose arguments within actual functions.
• Switched to semantic versioning.

v0.3.0

• A new method, robust_batch, has been added that can attempt batching with automatic error-handling. Call robust_batch(batched_fn, ...) where batched_fn is the function that you want to use after applying batch to it, and ... are the arguments you wanted to pass to batched_fn. The default amount of max retries is 3, but you can change this by passing batchman.retries.
• stop = FALSE now works as originally intended to keep going with batch processing even if an error occurs midstream. Batches that result in an error simply return NA instead.

v0.2.4

• Setting options('batchman.verbose' = FALSE) will now dynamically turn off batchman's printed output, even for batched functions after they are generated. Note that there is still no way to dynamically turn on the verbosity if verbose = FALSE was originally set when the function was made.
• Initial prototypes for covr and travis added.

v0.2.3

• You can now set options('batchman.verbose' = FALSE) to turn off batchman's print messages. This is potentially useful for tests where digging into batchman to set verbose = FALSE is annoying. Keep in mind that this still won't affect batched functions after they are generated.

v0.2.2.1

• Hotfixes a bug with the progress bar.

v0.2.2

• Incorporates the progress bar from dplyr https://github.com/hadley/dplyr/blob/master/R/progress.R

v0.2.1

• The way of getting the pre-batched function has changed from looking at the attr of the batched function to using get_before_fn(batched_fn), which instead relies on looking at the environment of batched_fn instead of the attributes.

• Batched functions now are of class batch_function (in addition to being of class function), and printing a batched function will show a list with both the before_fn (the function prior to batching) and the after_fn (the batched funtion). This should make looking into the function more clear, while not sacrificing your ability to see what is going on under the hood.
