broadcast 0.1.7

Consistency fixes:

• In bc.b(), in the case of a result with length zero:
  the result will be of type “raw” if both x and y are raw, and logical otherwise
  (until now, the result was always logical, which is not consistent with the regular case).
• In bc.d():
  the d==, d!= etc. operators now also accept the case where both x and y are integer or logical.
• Most methods and operators now also preserve the comment attribute.

Other changes:

• Added more examples in the reference manual.
• Added more tests.
• Fixed several linguistic errors in the help page of cast_shallow2atomic().

broadcast 0.1.6.1

• Replaced all uses of abs()/fabs() with std::abs() in the internal source code.

broadcast 0.1.6

• Bug fix: There was a bug in acast(), where it would, under certain circumstances, incorrectly specify dimnames to the output, leading to an error. This is now fixed.
• Small speed improvement for nearly all operations.
• The acast() method now allows unequal groups even when x is of type raw.
• Added the cast_shallow2atomic() casting method.
• The cast_hier2dim() method can now set dimnames automatically by specifying the new direction.names argument.
• Added the bc_strrep() method.
• Added the vector2array() and undim() helper functions.
• Added bcr as short-hand for broadcaster.
• Added mbroadcasters().
• If one of the input arrays in bind_array() is a broadcaster, then the result will also be a broadcaster.
• Added more tests.

broadcast 0.1.5.3

• Replaced abs function with labs function when using long integers in src/rcpp_bcFact_int.

broadcast 0.1.5.2

• Reduced the installation time and size of the compiled library, with almost no performance loss.

broadcast 0.1.5

Update of first CRAN release.

Argument Changes:

The recurse_classed argument in the casting methods has been replaced with the recurse_all argument.
Before, the argument recurse_classed controlled if the casting methods recurse through classed lists.
Now, recurse_all, controls if the casting methods recurse through classed and/or dimensional lists.

Moreover, the S3 methods in this package now check for unknown arguments given through the ellipsis (...).

Behavioural Changes:

• The as_* functions now also preserve the broadcaster class attribute.
• If both x and y in the bc.b() method are of type raw, bc.b() will return type of raw.

New Methods:

• Added the hiernames2dimnames() method, to make it easier to compose dimnames for the result of cast_hier2dim().

Documentation Improvements:

• Added on-attach package start-up message.
• Fixed some spelling errors that went under the radar.
• Fixed some inconsistent usage of Title Case in the titles of the help pages.
• Shortened the main help page.
• Fixed some “See Also” sections in some of the help pages.
• Improved the “Examples” sections in some of the help pages.

More tests:

• Added and adapted the unit tests for the above changes.
• Re-ran the unit tests coverage report shown on the website.
