Releases · gagolews/stringi

[BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] stri_install_check and stri_install_icudt
are now deprecated. From now on they are supposed to be used only
by the stringi installer.
[BUGFIX] #176: a patch for sys/feature_tests.h no longer included
(the original file was copyrighted by Sun Microsystems); fixed the Compiler
or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications and pre-2001 POSIX
applications error by forcing _XPG6 conformance.
[BUGFIX] #174: stri_paste() did not generate any warning when
the recycling rule is violated and sep=="".
[BUGFIX] #170: setDataDirectory no longer called if our ICU src bundle
is not used (this used to cause build problems on openSUSE).
[BUILD TIME] #169: ./configure now tries to switch to the "standard"
C++ compiler if a C++11 one is not properly configured.
[BUILD TIME] configure.win (Biarch: TRUE) now mimics autoconf's
AC_SUBST and AC_CONFIG_FILES so that the build process is now
more similar across different platforms.
[NEW FEATURE] stri_info() now also gives information on which ICU4C is
used (system or bundle).

stringi_0.5-2

[NEW FUNCTIONS] #137: date-time formatting/parsing:
- stri_timezone_list() - lists all known time zone identifiers
- stri_timezone_set(), stri_timezone_get() - manage current default time zone
- stri_timezone_info() - basic information on a given time zone
- stri_datetime_symbols() - localizable date-time formatting data
- stri_datetime_fstr() - convert a strptime-like format string
  to an ICU date/time format string
- stri_datetime_format() - convert date/time to string
- stri_datetime_parse() - convert string to date/time object
- stri_datetime_create() - construct date-time objects
  from numeric representations
- stri_datetime_now() - return current date-time
- stri_datetime_fields() - get values for date-time fields
- stri_datetime_add() - add specific number of date-time units
  to a date-time object
[BUGFIX] #168: Build now fails if icudt is not available.
[BACKWARD INCOMPABILITY] The second argument to stri_pad_*() has
been renamed width.
[GENERAL] #69: stringi is now bundled with ICU4C 55.1.
[NEW FUNCTIONS] stri_extract_*_boundaries() extract text between text
boundaries.
[NEW FUNCTION] #46: stri_trans_char() is a stringi-flavoured
chartr() equivalent.
[NEW FUNCTION] #8: stri_width() approximates the width of a string
in a more Unicodish fashion than nchar(..., "width")
[NEW FEATURE] #149: stri_pad() and stri_wrap() now by default bases on
code point widths instead of the number of code points. Moreover, the default
behavior of stri_wrap() is now such that it does not get rid
of non-breaking, zero width, etc. spaces
[NEW FEATURE] #133: stri_wrap() silently allows for width <= 0
(for compatibility with strwrap()).
[NEW FEATURE] #139: stri_wrap() gained a new argument: whitespace_only.
[GENERAL] #144: Performance improvements in handling ASCII strings
(these affect stri_sub(), stri_locate() and other string index-based
operations)
[GENERAL] #143: Searching for short fixed patterns (stri_*_fixed()) now
relies on the current libC's implementation of strchr() and strstr().
This is very fast e.g. on glibc utilizing the SSE2/3/4 instruction set.
[GENERAL] #141: a local copy of icudt*.zip may be used on package
install; see the INSTALL file for more information.
[GENERAL] #165: the ./configure option --disable-icu-bundle
forces the use of system ICU when building the package.
[BUGFIX] locale specifiers are now normalized in a more intelligent way:
e.g. @calendar=gregorian expands to DEFAULT_LOCALE@calendar=gregorian.
[BUGFIX] #134: stri_extract_all_words() did not accept simplify=NA.
[BUGFIX] #132: incorrect behavior in stri_locate_regex() for matches
of zero lengths
[BUGFIX] stringr/#73: stri_wrap() returned CHARSXP instead of STRSXP
on empty string input with simplify=FALSE argument.
[BUGFIX] #164: libicu-dev usage used to fail on Ubuntu.
[BUGFIX] #135: C++11 is now used by default (see the INSTALL file,
however) to build stringi from sources. This is because ICU4C uses the
long long type which is not part of the C++98 standard.
[BUGFIX] #154: Dates and other objects with a custom class attribute
were not coerced to the character type correctly.
[BUGFIX] Force ICU u_init() call on stringi dynlib load.
[BUGFIX] #157: many overfull hboxes in the package PDF manual has been
corrected.

stringi_0.4-1

CHANGELOG:

[IMPORTANT CHANGE] n_max argument in stri_split_*() has been renamed n.
[IMPORTANT CHANGE] simplify=FALSE in stri_extract_all_*() and
stri_split_*() now calls stri_list2matrix() with fill="".
fill=NA_character_ may be obtained by using simplify=NA.
[IMPORTANT CHANGE, NEW FUNCTIONS] #120: stri_extract_words has been
renamed stri_extract_all_words and stri_locate_boundaries -
stri_locate_all_boundaries as well as stri_locate_words -
stri_locate_all_words. New functions are now available:
stri_locate_first_boundaries, stri_locate_last_boundaries,
stri_locate_first_words, stri_locate_last_words,
stri_extract_first_words, stri_extract_last_words.
[IMPORTANT CHANGE] #111: opts_regex, opts_collator, opts_fixed, and
opts_brkiter can now be supplied individually via ....
In other words, you may now simply call e.g.
stri_detect_regex(str, pattern, case_insensitive=TRUE) instead of
stri_detect_regex(str, pattern, opts_regex=stri_opts_regex(case_insensitive=TRUE)).
[NEW FEATURE] #110: Fixed pattern search engine's settings can
now be supplied via opts_fixed argument in stri_*_fixed(),
see stri_opts_fixed(). A simple (not suitable for natural language
processing) yet very fast case_insensitive pattern matching can be
performed now. stri_extract_*_fixed is again available.
[NEW FEATURE] #23: stri_extract_all_fixed, stri_count, and
stri_locate_all_fixed may now also look for overlapping pattern
matches, see ?stri_opts_fixed.
[NEW FEATURE] #129: stri_match_*_regex gained a cg_missing argument.
[NEW FEATURE] #117: stri_extract_all_*(), stri_locate_all_*(),
stri_match_all_*() gained a new argument: omit_no_match.
Setting it to TRUE makes these functions compatible with their
stringr equivalents.
[NEW FEATURE] #118: stri_wrap() gained indent, exdent, initial,
and prefix arguments. Moreover Knuth's dynamic word wrapping algorithm
now assumes that the cost of printing the last line is zero, see #128.
[NEW FEATURE] #122: stri_subset() gained an omit_na argument.
[NEW FEATURE] stri_list2matrix() gained an n_min argument.
[NEW FEATURE] #126: stri_split() now is also able to act
just like stringr::str_split_fixed().
[NEW FEATURE] #119: stri_split_boundaries() now have
n, tokens_only, and simplify arguments. Additionally,
stri_extract_all_words() is now equipped with simplify arg.
[NEW FEATURE] #116: stri_paste() gained a new argument:
ignore_null. Setting it to TRUE makes this function more compatible
with paste().
[NEW FEATURE] #114: stri_paste(): ignore_null arg has been added.
[OTHER] #123: useDynLib is used to speed up symbol look-up in
the compiled dynamic library.
[BUGFIX] #94: Run-time errors on Solaris caused by setting
-DU_DISABLE_RENAMING=1 -- memory allocation errors in i.a. ICU's
UnicodeString. This setting also caused some ABSan sanity check
failures within ICU code.
