Patch release: Bug fixes and new features in beta
This is a maintenance release that provides provisional release of a few bits of new functionality.
New Features
- New functions
characterize()
andfactorize()
provide methods for converting "labelled" variables (e.g., from Stata or SPSS) into character or factor variables using embedded metadata. This can also be useful for exporting a metadata-rich file format into a plain text file. (#153) export()
now sets variables with a "labels" attribute to haven's "labelled" class.- Added a new function
spread_attrs()
that reverses thegather_attrs()
operation. - Add .bib as known-unsupported format via
bib2df::bib2df()
.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug in writing to .zip and .tar archives related to absolute file paths.
- Fixed some small bugs in
import_list()
and added tests for behavior. - Expanded test suite and increased test coverage, fixing a few tests that were failing on certain CRAN builds.
- Fixed a bug in
.import.rio_xlsx()
whenreadxl = FALSE
. (#152, h/t Danny Parsons) - Expanded test coverage.
