This release removes RDS writing from package APIs. The motivation is
safety: loading an RDS file can execute code through object hooks and
crafted class attributes, and JSON covers every data shape the package
uses. Migration utilities have been in place since
1.2.0.
boilerplate_export() now defaults to
format = "json" (previously "rds").write_boilerplate_db() now defaults
to format = "json".get_db_file_path() now end in .json rather
than .rds.format = "rds" or format = "both"
to boilerplate_save(), boilerplate_export(),
or boilerplate_init() now errors before any file is
written. The package no longer creates new RDS databases.boilerplate_import() and the migration
utilities (boilerplate_migrate_to_json(),
boilerplate_rds_to_json(), compare_rds_json())
remains supported. Existing databases continue to load and can be
converted with a single function call..rds output_file to
boilerplate_export() also errors before any file is
written.boilerplate_batch_edit() now loads JSON file paths
only. Legacy RDS files must first be imported with
boilerplate_import() or migrated with
boilerplate_migrate_to_json().make_clean_title() no longer strips hyphens from
measure display names. Hyphens in a name field or
label_mappings value are treated as intentional
typography.boilerplate_save(create_backup = TRUE) overwrites JSON
files.test-generate-text.R and
test-vignette-internals.R that used RDS only as an
incidental fixture have been migrated to JSON. Tests that exercise the
RDS-to-JSON migration path continue to use RDS input on purpose.tools::R_user_dir() for cache storage instead of

databases, for:
boilerplate_save()
for normal database updates and boilerplate_export() for
creating standalone exportsget_default_measures_db() creates measures data with
the correct structureboilerplate_methods(), boilerplate_results(),
etc.boilerplate_merge_databases() for merging databases
with conflict resolutionboilerplate_merge_category() for category-specific
mergingboilerplate_merge_unified() for merging unified
databasesboilerplate_report_statistical_estimator() enhanced for
grf and allows short and long reporting.boilerplate_measures() - one function that does all we
need for measures reporting
boilerplate_report_measures() works if
only baseline_vars, exposure_var, or
outcome_vars are passed.boilerplate_manage_measures(): now, if
‘n’ is selected for new database name, the manager will return to the
main menu instead of charging along.boilerplate_merge_databases(): merges databases,
currently implemented for measures_data.boilerplate_report_methods() function.boilerplate_manage_measures(): simple gui to input
measures, saves as .rds filesboilerplate_report_measures(): report an appendix of
measures with items described.boilerplate_report_causal_interventions(): report
causal contrastsboilerplate_report_variables():report variables in
methods section (exposure/ outcomes)These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
