tabshiftr 0.5.1

• reinclude inverting a filter on rows.

tabshiftr 0.5.0

• include the possibility to specify variable data type, which will result in a column of that type
• include header into setFormat() again, which enables providing tables where the column names are in the header, where they will be spliced into the table.

tabshiftr 0.4.2

• include split and merge functionality for cluster ID.

tabshiftr 0.4.1 (2023-01-31)

• adapt to update of dplyr

tabshiftr 0.4.0 (2022-09-28)

• introduction of the function setGroups(), which allows to summarize columns and/or rows according to a function. The positions and summarise function here are provided via the new function .sum().
• now each getter ensures that it only gets things from an already validated schema.
• for filter and group slots of a schema there is now a new way implemented for storing locations. Each location statement is now a list that contains either find, group or position parameters.

tabshiftr 0.3.9

• allow several filters to be applied in a separate function and thus for separate columns.
• allow filtering on columns

tabshiftr 0.3.8

• allow .finding based on several character strings (that can themselves be regular expressions).

tabshiftr 0.3.7

• implement code so that duplicated observations in the input table are by default summarized (with a warning)

tabshiftr 0.3.6

• fix a bug that would not allow to register of two wide identifying variables first the wider, then the narrower wide identifying variable.

tabshiftr 0.3.5

• fix a bug that would not allow tables that have only one row and implicit variables to be properly reorganized.

tabshiftr 0.3.4

• incl. handling of flags (character additions to the numeric values of observed variables), which are now extracted into an ancillary column.

tabshiftr 0.3.3

• fix a bug where the header was not properly recognized when using setFilter().

tabshiftr 0.3.2 (2022-01-13)

• be more precise in using tidyr
• revising some text here and there
• other minor fixes

tabshiftr 0.3.1

• various minor bugfixes
• minor reorganization of the internal workings

tabshiftr 0.3.0 (2021-07-01)

• introduction of getters that fulfill two functions: 1) check up on the schema one is currently building, 2) internal use to streamline the code-base
• less cryptic naming of the example files that they can be understood without much explanation
• complete revisit of the code-base
• removal of the function setHeader(), as these information are now automatically extracted from the functions
• renaming of the argument row = in setObsVar() to top = , because this is represents a clearer meaning of what this argument describes
• .find() now also allows functions that evaluate to TRUE/FALSE
• add a column specifier to .find().

tabshiftr 0.2.6

• properly enable use of functions in .find via several bug-fixes

tabshiftr 0.2.5

• internal updates/bug-fixes

tabshiftr 0.2.4

• new function setFilter to provide which columns/rows should be ignored by a schema.
• handling of relative positions was changed internally to simplify the code.

tabshiftr 0.2.3

• generalise find_col and find_row to .find and handle it based on the context it's called in.
• include the option to specify clusters that are members of irregular groups of clusters associated to a variable that shall be recorded itself, setCluster(..., group = "grouping_variable", member = c(1, 1, 2, ...)).

tabshiftr 0.2.2

• include functions find_col and find_row to determine columns and rows "on the fly"

tabshiftr 0.2.1

• automatically complete id-columns that contain missing values in some rows.
• automatically remove rows and columns that contain merely NA values.

tabshiftr 0.2.0

• include functions setCluster, setHeader,setFormat, setIDVar and setObsVar for easier schema setup.
• improved documentation
• first steps in implementing errors/warnings when setting up a schema that will likely not result in a successful reorganisation

tabshiftr 0.1.4

• include a control that user-provided "." as decimal symbol is turned into "[.]" to be used as regular expression.
• re-enable completion of when values in the header are missing. Values are now completed with their left neighbour, as this is the most frequent use-case when values in the header are omitted.

tabshiftr 0.1.3

• enable the field 'merge = character(1)' for identifying variables, which would be used when a variable is spread over several columns that need to be combined.

tabshiftr 0.1.2 (2020-05-13)

initial release to CRAN
