projects 2.1.99.9990

Major update:

• Addition of tasks, which involves the new functions tasks(), new_task(), edit_task(), delete_task(), and finish(). This adds another metadata table (tasks.rds) to the little relational database that projects maintains.

Minor update:

• A vctrs .ptype has been added to the internal name space of the package. The metadata tables are vctrs::vec_cast() to these .ptypes every time they are re-saved.
• Code updates.
• Updated documentation.

projects 2.1.3 (2021-04-24)

Minor updates:

• Removed names from arguments passed to readr::write_lines() and readr::write_rds() since they have deprecated path in favor of file.
• Combined the setup and load_libraries code chunks in all applicable template .Rmd files.
• Removed LazyData line from DESCRIPTION file in compliance with new CRAN check.

projects 2.1.2

Minor updates:

• Bug fix to projects()'s handling of the path argument, accommodating latest behavior of fs::path_abs().

projects 2.1.1 (2020-05-29)

Minor updates:

• Bug fix after breaking change in vctrs (vec_cast(x, to = character()) changed to as.character(x))

projects 2.1.0 (2020-03-18)

Major updates:

• Addition of rename_projects_folder() and move_projects_folder()
• Addition of path argument to projects(), allowing users to filter by subdirectory
• Incorporation of vctrs package for projects_stage and projects_author classes

Minor updates:

• projects() now prints a maximum of 100 rows by default.
• open_project() attempts to locate projects on shared servers when the local projects_folder() value differs from the server's projects_folder() value
• Backslash inserted before any single quotation marks in projects folder path before being written to .Renviron
• Bug, documentation, README improvements

projects 2.0.0 (2019-09-05)

Major updates:

• new_project() now copies a single template project folder within .templates instead of assembling multiple template components into a file. This allows users to customize project folders to a very high degree. Thus, new_project() has fewer arguments, having only template_folder insofar as template-related arguments.
• Consequently, header/title page YAML text is NOT written automatically into .Rmd files when they are created by new_project(). Users must run header() and copy the resulting text into desired .Rmd files.
• Added the function email_authors(), which opens a new email for the currently open project (or, a specified project).

Minor updates:

• There are now separate arguments in new_project() and copy_project() for specifying the new project's folder name. It can be distinct from a project's short_title and its id number.
• Updated documentation,
• Tilde expansion is performed in setup_projects()
• Added tests

projects 1.2.0.9000

Major updates

• Addition of .docx style template.

Minor updates

• Other minor tweaks to default .Rmd files.

projects 1.1.4.9000

Major updates

• Bug fix: exported all methods for the projects_stage and projects_author S3 classes so that the class would not be stripped.

Minor updates

• Made reorder_authors() and all edit_*() functions to stop printing metadata after successful editing.
• Removed the reprint_header argument from reorder_authors() function, but added a message beckoning user to run header(), as in edit_project().

• Minor improvements to printing of projects at the end of new_project() and edit_project()

projects 0.2.1.9000

Major update:

• Instances of fs::path_home() were changed to fs::path_home_r() so that .Renviron files would be put in the correct place (i.e., the directory that R considers to be the home directory, which is where R actually looks for .Renviron files).

projects 0.2.0.9000

Major updates

Users can now create custom names for project folders, linking the name to short_title:

• Added the function rename_folder(), which enables the user to rename project folders. Added an example of this.
• Added the logical argument stitle_as_folder to new_project(), which if TRUE makes the folder name of new projects the same as its short_title.
• Added the argument new_short_title to copy_project(), which enables users to change the project copy's folder name and/or short_title.
• Made the path argument in copy_project() second instead of fourth.

Minor updates:

• Made open_project() better handle instances of missing/multiple .Rproj files.
• Documentation updates
