downsize 0.2.3.9000

downsize 0.2.3

Fix a test for CRAN.

2016-10-17

Version 0.2.1 is an urgent patch. On 10/17, I found out that the functionality promised in the "Interchange code blocks" section of the vignette has been broken ever since the first CRAN submission. In test mode, the code block in argument big of downsize() should not be evaluated. This is now fixed and unit-tested. The patch is on CRAN, but it will take a day or two for the Mac and Windows builds to post.

Version 0.2.0 is on CRAN. Here are the changes.

Correct the author and maintainer name. Should be "William Landau", not "Landau William".
Deprecate functions scale_down(), scale_up(), and scaling() in favor of test_mode(), production_mode(), and my_mode(). The new naming convention is clearer and more appropriate.
Add help_downsize() to print out helpful links to tutorials, instructions for troubleshooting, etc.
Change the help files and vignette to reflect all these changes.

I explain downsize to people in terms of test and production modes, so it seemed natural to change the naming convention. If I had thought ahead, I might have named the package "testmode" and broadened the scope. Too late for that now.

I am already planning v0.2.0, and I implemented the most important changes in release v0.1.1 (GitHub only). The main updates are these.

The author and maintainer fields in the DESCRIPTION are corrected.
There is a new help_downsize() function that outputs links to the vignette, troubleshooting instructions, and issues page (for bug reports, questions, and feature requests).

Downsize v0.1.0 is on CRAN!

2016-09-19

Versions 0.0.0 and 0.1.0 are released. In v0.1.0, the ds() function is deprecated. Use downsize() instead for new projects. Also, scaling() now returns either "scaled down" or "scaled up". In addition, v0.1.0 supports the selection of entire code blocks based on the scaling of the workload. See the vignette for examples.
