ARUtools 0.7.0

CRAN release: 2024-09-06

New

• clean_metadata() now can detect time zone offsets in filenames and return a new column tz_offset (#27).
  • create_pattern_tz_offset() creates the pattern to look for the offset.
• Look around patterns added to create_pattern_XX functions (#6)
  • new function create_lookaround() helps create these patterns.
• Add internal environment for global variables and get_pattern(), add_pattern_aru_type(), and set_pattern() were added as helper functions.

Update

• “job” package removed from clip_wav() ( #25 )
• Updates to clean_logs() (#28, #34)

Bugs

• Fix issue with no oversamples (GRTS fails from select_samples() if n is a data frame and all n_os are zero. #40)
• Fix to_lower() in check_names() causes error if upper cases used. #41

• Added sampling vignette

Bugs

• Fixed bug calc_sun() corrupting date column (#18)

ARUtools 0.5.1

New

• add_wildtrax() - New helper function to create and append WildTrax file names

Bugs

• clean_gps() - Fixed errors when processing only GPX files

ARUtools 0.5.0

• clean_gps()

  • can handle GPX files via sf now
  • distance cutoff results in a warning (not an error), returning the data with the max_dist column, so users can see which site was problematic.
  • now checks for distance by site groups aru_id and site_id by default
  • pattern matches for GPS column headers have been expanded
  • catches errors but continues reporting on failed loading (remove skip_bad argument)
  • check_problems() now also checks GPS meta data

• create_pattern_XXX()

  • Now accept multiple options
  • all separators are non-optional, but provide "" as pseudo-optional
  • create_pattern_site_id() ids do not have to have a suffix

• clean_metadata() accepts multiple pattern options

• clean_site_index() allows no date columns (col_date_time = NULL)

• add_sites()

  • Rename dt_type to by_date
  • Take mean of multiple sites with by_date = "date" (instead of truncating)
  • Use by_date = NULL to skip joining by date range

• Workflow now works with sf input (must be POINT geometries)

  • clean_site_index()
  • add_sites()
  • calc_sun()

• Timezones are now more explicit

  • Expect local time marked with UTC
  • Existing non-UTC timezones are stripped with a message
  • Errors returned if there are more than one relevant date_time column with different timezones

• Vignettes

  • Mini spatial workflow (vignettes/spatial.Rmd)
  • Explaining timezones (vignettes/timezones.Rmd)

ARUtools 0.4.0.9000

• Major overhaul of first half of the workflow
• Main functions now
• clean_metadata()
• clean_gps() / clean_site_index()
• add_sites()
• calc_sun()
• Helper functions for checking, and for creating regex patterns
