Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

Version 2026.8.4

  • .Rbuildignore now excludes index.md and Rplots.pdf, so the pkgdown home page body no longer ships in the source tarball and no longer raises a top-level-file NOTE.
  • Expanded README.md with installation, a quick start, and a table naming which function to reach for.
  • Every exported function now carries an @seealso pointing at the csutil vignette. All seven appear in a vignette code chunk.
  • Corrected apply_fn_via_hash_table(): the documentation said fn was called once per unique value. It is called exactly once, on the whole vector of unique values, so fn must be vectorised.
  • Corrected easy_split(): the documentation promised “equally sized vectors”. Every group has the same length except the last, which may be shorter. number_of_groups is also a request rather than a guarantee — easy_split(1:4, number_of_groups = 3) returns two groups, not three.
  • Corrected unnest_dfs_within_list_of_fully_named_lists(): it returns NULL when x is not a list, which the @return section did not say. Documented both branches and the sorted-union naming of the result.
  • Documented that is_fully_named_list(list()) returns FALSE.

Version 2026.7.27

  • .Rbuildignore now excludes the rendered pkgdown site (docs/, pkgdown/) so it is not included in the source tarball.
  • The four is_* list predicates now cross-reference each other via @family list predicates.
  • Added a testthat (edition 3) test suite covering all seven exported functions. The suite pins the shipped behaviour, including the deliberate asymmetry where is_fully_named_list(list()) returns FALSE while the three is_all_list_elements_null_or_*() predicates return TRUE.

Version 2023.4.25

CRAN release: 2023-04-25

  • apply_fn_via_hash_table extracts the unique input values, applies the given function to it to create a hash table (containing unique input/output combinations), and then matches the original input to the hash table to obtain the desired output. This can dramatically speed up computation if there is a lot of data and a limited amount of unique values.
  • Submitted to CRAN
