In r-lib/prettyunits: Pretty, Human Readable Formatting of Quantities

prettyunits (development version)

• Add "q", "r", "R", "Q" prefix from BIPM to pretty_num() (#41, @cregouby)

prettyunits 1.2.0

• New pretty_num() function with all the BIPM agreed unit prefix (#26, @cregouby).

• New pretty_round() and pretty_signif() functions preserve the requested number of digits as character strings (#14, @billdenney).

• New pretty_p_value() function to convert p-values to character strings where small values are shown like "<0.0001" (#13, @billdenney).

• New pretty_color() functionm converts a color to a named color (#12, @billdenney).

prettyunits 1.1.1

• Fix spurious zero fractions in pretty_bytes() when formatting vectors of sizes (#23).

prettyunits 1.1.0

• pretty_dt(), pretty_ms() and pretty_sec() now handle NA values properly, and return NA_character_ for them (#10, @petermeissner).

• pretty_bytes() now formats quantities just below the units better. E.g. 1MB - 1B is formatted as "1 MB" instead of "1000 kB" (#18).

• pretty_bytes() now has multiple styles. In particular, a fixed width style is useful for progress bars. Another style avoids the left-padding with spaces.

• The new low level compute_bytes() function can be used to create custom formatters for bytes.

prettyunits 1.0.2

• pretty_bytes() always uses two fraction digits for non-integers. This looks nicer in a progress bar, as the width of string does not change so much.

prettyunits 1.0.1

First version with a NEWS file.

• Get rid of R CMD check notes.
