methods::getMethods() function was
imported but not used any more. The import is dropped now.file_edit() is not available any
more because JGR is not maintained any more and we can eliminate the
dependency to {rJava} and a Java installation.The aka() function objects are now
aka and function objects with
print() and str() methods. A new argument
url= allows to indicate an http(s) URL for the help page of
the object.
A function section() allows to document different
sections in sets of objects.
aka() (description + seealso + example).print.rbenchmark() was not
exported.Function ._(x, code) is removed from here to be
included into the {svFlow} package where it is more
appropriate.
Function hint() is renamed aka() (also
known as) because the name is much more in line with what it does.
alias() would have been an even better name, but there is
already stats::alias() and we don’t want a conflict on this
function.
rbenchmark() provides R Benchmark version 2.6
without needing to source external code.
Function cut_quantile() like cut(), but
calculating breaks on quantiles in order to break down the vector into
intervals of equal number of items.
Function hint() added to attach information to an
object (an “alias” to another object that has an help page, or a
“comment” information to display about the object). The corresponding
information and help page can be displayed with
.?obj.
Function ._(x, code) allows to use a concise syntax
to pass a left-hand side argument to dot (.) into the
right-hand side of a pipe operator, even if it does not support the dot
itself (like the standard R pipe |> in R >=
4.1).
last.warning) into base
environment: not permitted any more in R >= 4.1.0.pcloud() and
pcloud_crypto() ease the management of files that are
located in a p-Cloud drive (p-Cloud is a cloud storage system)..Traceback is not set any more in the base environment
by capture_all() because CRAN policy does not allow it. The
variable .Traceback_capture_all is set in
temp_env() instead. It can be retrieved with
get_temp(".Traceback_capture_all").completion():
name.or.addition= which determines if the function returns
the completion name, completion additions or both. Thanks to @rhuffy.News.md reworked in
R CMD build-compatible format, and TODO
reworked as TODO.md.
‘pkgdown’ site added.
about() added and a special version of
? accepts .? as a shortcut to
about(), but is otherwise, compatible with
utils::?.
subsettable functions for arguments
type = or which = added.
captureAll() and parseText() were not
exported anymore after switching help pages to Roxygen2. Fixed.R CMD check.New, snake_case names of all the functions. Old camelCase
functions names are kept for compatibility, e.g.,
captureAll() -> capture_all().
All documentation converted to Roxygen2 format.
Tests converted to testthat format.
package() is reworked to record packages it cannot
install, and the Install() function uses these
automatically.
_ New is_rstudio(), and is_rstudio_server()
functions. Also, file_edit() detects if RStudio is used and
get an internal buffer to edit a file by default in that case.
toRjson() adapted to be compatible with R >= 3.5.0
(thanks to Martin Maechler).Switch to Github for development; CI added.
Code added to make ‘svUnit’ tests compatibles with RStudio and
devtools::test().
Deprecated functions Args(), CallTip(),
clipsource(), Complete(),
CompletePlus(), getEnvironment(),
Parse(), r(), Sys.tempdir(),
Sys.userdir() are now defunct and eliminated from the
package.
Function pkg() is renamed
package().
Reworked code that was using :::.
On MacOS >= 10.7, the package could not load because of a
warning (converted into an error) in .onLoad(). Solved.
(thanks Travis Porco for bug report).
isHelp() now uses find.package()
instead of the deprecated .find.package().
TempEnv() attaches to
the search path is now called 'SciViews:TempEnv' instead of
simply 'TempEnv' to avoid potential conflicts with other
packages in CRAN.Added the fileEdit() function.
Reworked argsTip() function to eliminate old code
(for R < 2.10).
parseText() reported an error instead of
NA in the case last string is incomplete in R
2.15.
Added function isJGR().
Added batch processing function batch().
Partial argument matching in completion(),
progress() and rmTemp() code fixed.
Call to .Internal(...) in captureAll()
eliminated, but need to call .signalSimpleWarning() that is
not intended for external use anyway.
Call to .Internal(dput(....)) in
toRjson() eliminated.
Added listToJson() for conversion of lists of
character strings into correct JSON format.
Added pkgManXXX() functions to run R code for the
SciViews package manager.
progress() used \8, that was treated as
octal for R < 2.14. Changed to \b in order to correct
this bug. Thanks Duncan Murdoch for pointing me on this.captureAll() now handles user interrupts and allows
for traceback() afterwards and default value for
split= now changed to TRUE. The
echo = argument allows for echoing expressions being
evaluated, like in the usual R console, but a mechanism allows to
abbreviate very long expressions.
parseText() is reworked internally and it uses the
srcfile/srcref mechanism introduced in R
recently. firstline =, srcfilename = and
encoding = arguments are added.
Unit tests added (should run with both ‘svUnit’ (advised) and ‘RUnit’).
A bug in objList() is corrected: if the list of
objects in the environment is cleared, e.g., by
rm(list = ls()), the function returned as if nothing was
changed with compare = TRUE. Now, an attribute
changed = is set to TRUE or FALSE
to differentiate between “no changes” and “changes towards an empty
environment”.
objList().A couple of functions are renamed: Parse() ->
parseText(), clipsource() ->
sourceClipboard(). Old names are declared deprecated, and
will become defunct before version 1.0-0 of the package.
captureAll() now returns NA in case of
incomplete line of code parsed by parseText(). It also
detects if expr = is a valid language expression or is
NA.
isMac() was not working correctly on Mac OS X
Leopard and Snow Leopard (bug corrected).
Sys.userdir() did not expanded tilde in recent R
versions (corrected).
Little change in def() arguments:
length.out = instead of length = to use the
same name as corresponding argument in rep(). Coercion to
logical is now done using as.logical()… the result may
differ from previous implementations.
For listTypes(), the convention has changed.
Method/type is now separated by an underscore instead as with two dots
(like in view_text.default).
Sys.tempdir() and Sys.userdir() are
deprecated in favor of the new more general functions
systemFile() and systemDir().
r() is deprecated in favor of pkg()
(r() is not informative enough and more susceptible to be
used elsewhere too).
Args() is deprecated in favor of
argsTip() and CallTip() is deprecated in favor
of callTip() (further homogenization of svMisc function
names). The new argsTip() and callTip()
functions can reflow the tip to a given width, and
callTip() can also return a short description of the
function as well as the list of available methods if the tip os asked
for a generic function.
Complete() and CompletePlus() are
deprecated in favor of a unique completion() function. Code
of both original functions has been fused and reworked.
RJSON objects now use a customized list() function
to build lists, but also structures and new S4 objects.
captureAll() has now a split = argument
that allows to output to the R console, while capturing output.
Bug correction in captureAll(): call[[1L]] is not
subsettable.
toRjson() and
evalRjson() and specification of the RJSON (R-JavaScript
Object Notation), an object exchange format not unlike JSON, but richer
and more adapted to represent most R objects.Small changes to objList() (now look at objects in
their correct environment).
A bug in descArgs() with R >= 2.10 did not
allowed to gest arguments description for functions using the
... argument. Thanks to Diego Zardetto for pointing this
bug.
index.search() in devel R
2.11 in isHelp() and descFun().descArgs() using the new help system
(parse_Rd()), this eliminates the need for the workaround
of version 0.9-54CompletePlus() is
eliminated because it raises an error.Complete() now sorts items alphabetically and does
not return completions as factor type in the data frame any
more.
CallTip() does a better work to find current
function, i.e., not only after the opening parentheses
(.
Args() now do no place a space anymore between the
name of a function and its arguments
Complete() now manages cases where code is like
iris[, iris[[, or where last parsed token is
empty (in this case, it returns the list of objects loaded in
.GlobalEnv).Complete() now includes additions from
Complete2() and CompletePlus().CompletePlus() removes the weird object names (
.__M__, …) which were causing trouble.
CompletePlus() handles completions like
a[m.
Complete2() is a temporary new version of
Complete() for experiments.Parse() does not detect incomplete R code any more,
fixed [PhG].objList(), print.objectList() and
write.objList() reworked [PhG].Added objList(), print() method for
‘objList’ objects and write.objList() [KB].
Localization complete and French local file done.
Made backward compatible with R 2.6.0 (was R >= 2.7.0 in previous version).
captureAll() is reworked by Kamil Barton [KB].
Debugging code eliminated (data saved in .GlobalEnv for
debugging).
Error handler added to captureAll() - [KB].
CompletePlus() reworked to use man pages instead of
.Rd files.
descFun() and descArgs()
added.
CompletePlus() created to obtain information on the
completion possibilities.objList() did not place each item in a line when
result is written in a file.
objXXX() functions did not always returned results
invisibly. Solved.
Args() is more robust against bad
name = parameter because it now calls
argsAnywhere() within a try().
objInfo() returns also estimated size of objects
that are not functions.
objSearch() is reworked to return a single string
using sep = as separator when sep = is not
NULL.
