In s-fleck/rtdr: Log Rotation and Conditional Backups

rotor 0.3.7

• Some internal changes to date formatting for compatibility with R-devel revision >= r82904 (2022-09-24 19:32:52).

rotor 0.3.6

• rotate(), backup() and co. no longer fail on filenames that contain special regex characters (such as * or +)
• rotate(), backup() and co. now work with hidden files
• rotate_rds: the on_change_only argument now also accepts a list() of paramters to be passed on to all.equal.data.table when comparing data.tables
• rebuild docs for R 4.2.0

rotor 0.3.5

• Backups now retain their original timestamp (created, last modified) where possible (even when zipped)
• fixed broken behaviour when pruning with max_backups where max_backups is the maximum number of files
• parse_size() now accepts (and rounds down) decimal file sizes, but throws a warning

rotor 0.3.4

• Hotfix for some tests related to the Cache R6 class that fail on systems with low-precision file system timestamps (such as ext3 and old Windows file systems)

rotor 0.3.2

• fixes time zone related issue in Cache$prune().
• fixes bug in rotate_rds(on_change_only = TRUE) that occurs if a version of data.table < 1.3.0 is installed and either the source or target object are a data.table (but not both)
• more robust clean up of temporary files in most unit tests

rotor 0.3.0

• Improved some error messages
• Added rotate_rds(), rotate_rds_time(), and rotate_rds_date() as a replacement for base::saveRDS() that supports creating backups instead of just overwriting the destination file.
• added Cache, an R6 class for managing cache directories. The Cache API is still experimental and might change.
• breaking R6 API: renamed some methods and active fields of BackupQueue to more universal names:
• $push_backup() -> $push()
• $backup_dir -> dir()
• $backups -> $files
• $file -> $origin
• BackupQueue$prune_identical() removes identical backups for a BackupQueue

rotor 0.2.4

• Fixes unit tests sensitive to year change.

rotor 0.2.3

• Changed default behavior of rotate_date(), rotate_time(), etc...: If no backups exist of target file, use the "created" timestamp to determine whether rotation should take place or not.
• verbose == TRUE now also displays information on why rotation was NOT triggered.
• added backup_info() which is similar to file.info() but with additional backup related infos.
• removed "dir" column from $backups/backup_info()

rotor 0.2.2

• Reordered the arguments of rotate_*() and backup_*() for more consistency
• default size for all all rotate_*() and backup_*() functions is now 1 (Byte). This means empty files are never rotated by default.
• added support for Inf size and age (= never rotate)
• More robust regex for discovering backups of files
• R6 API: BackupQueue subclasses gain a should_rotate(...) method that determines whether rotation/backup should take place.
• R6 API: BackupQueueDate and BackupQueueDateTime now have a caching mechanism for backups (defaults to FALSE).
• R6 API: BackupQueue* now use setters/getters for all fields.

rotor 0.2.1

• added examples to rotate() documentation
• dry_run status is now tracked internally instead of a potentially user modifiable option() (it was never designed to be user modifiable anyways).
• Track test coverage with covr
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
