Versioning

Releases will be numbered with the following semantic versioning format:

..

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
• Following the RStudio convention, a .99 is appended after the patch number to indicate the development version on Github. Any version Coming from Github will now use the .99 extension, which will never appear in a version number for the package on CRAN.

For more information on SemVer, please visit http://semver.org/.

v1.0-1

This version is a ground-up rewrite of knitcitations, providing a more powerful interface while also streamlining the back end, mostly by relying more on external libraries for knitty gritty. While an effort has been made to preserve the most common uses, some lesser-used functions or function arguments have been significantly altered or removed. Bug reports greatly appreciated.

• citet/citep now accept more options. In addition to the four previously supported options (DOI, URL, bibentry or bibkey (of a previously cited work)), these now accept a plain text query (used in a CrossRef Search), or a path to a PDF file (which attempts metadata extraction).

• Citation key generation is now handled internally, and cannot be configured just by providing a named argument to citet/citep.

• The cite function is replaced by bib_metadata. This function takes any argument to citet/citep as before (including the new arguments), see docs.

• Linked inline citations now use the configuration: cite_options(style=“markdown”, hyperlink=“to.doc”) provides a link to the DOI or URL of the document, using markdown format.

• Support for cito and tooltip have been removed. These may be restored at a later date. (The earlier implementation did not appropriately abstract the use of these features from the style/formatting of printing the citation, making generalization hard.

• bibliography now includes CSL support directly for entries with a DOI using the style= argument. No need to provide a CSL file itself, just the name of the journal (or rather, the name of the corresponding csl file: full journal name, all lower case, spaces as dashes). See https://github.com/cboettig/knitcitations/issues/38

• bibliography formatting has otherwise been completely rewritten, and no longer uses print_markdown, print_html, and print_rdfa methods. rdfa is no longer available, and other formats are controlled through cite_options. For formal publication pandoc mode is recommended instead of bibliography.

v0.6-2

• Apply accents to names for in-text citations (issue #51)
• Use first name if author last name is not available, e.g. citet(citation()) (issue #55)

v0.6-1

• Bugfix in default citep method (caused by missing page argument)

v0.6-0

• Pandoc formatting is introduced as the prefered way to handle citations. The .Rmd files remain as before, importing citation data on the fly with citep() and citet taking DOIs, URLs, or bibentries as arguments, but render in pandoc’s markdown. The citations used are written to a bibtex file and the user must use pandoc (either directly or through RStudio’s rmarkdown) to format the citations appropriately. See the updated vignette & README. This method has to be enabled with options(citation_format = "pandoc") at present, otherwise compatibility mode is enabled by default. (see #57)

v0.5-0

• html print method now provides support for bulleted lists, see #41

v0.4-7

• Hard-wrap roxygen documentation to avoid line overflows in pdf manual

v0.4-6

• html print method now handled directly in knitcitations just like the markdown print method, with ordering, etc, since default html printing method sucks
• Tooltip provides HTML formatting, with link (issue #37)
• HTML formatting inside tooltip (data-html=“true”) removed, since incompatible with Pandoc parser. pandoc/#831

v0.4-5

• Provide page range as option to citep and citet (see issue #32)
• Fixes a bug in which page numbers were not grabbed from the DOI look-up
  (#33)
  
• Date added to Description file so that users can cite the development version properly (#34)

v0.4-4

• Depends R (>= 2.15.0)
• Released to CRAN (2013-03-18)
• Minor changes: replace paste0 with paste, sep=“”

v0.4-3

• Some bugfixes to bib_format method
• tooltip javascript uses class ‘showtooltip’ rather than rel=‘tooltip’ to avoid conflicting semantic meaning and styling and to avoid clashes with
  existing ‘tooltip’ class in twitter bootstrap
• cito links fix href and use rel instead of property

v0.4-2

• Testing out bib_format method to change order of citation elements in reference list

v0.4-1

• Fixes Issue #27 in rdfa printing
• Nicer markdown printing
• keep each function in separate file

v0.4-0

Major changes

• Support for citations by URL. Paste the full URL of any academic journal or other webpage. Uses the Greycite API
• Introduces linked inline citations as an option (previously active only for CITO links). Inline citation text will be linked directly to the article by DOI or URL. Toggle on or off using cite_options globally, or passing linked=FALSE to the calls to citet or citep
• Introduces tooltips option. Mouse over an inline citation and see the full citation information. * Introduces cite_options, to toggle certain settings such as tooltips, linked inline text,

Minor changes

• in-line link will use URL if a DOI is not found
• cite is now exported to the namespace. Useful to return a bibentry object given a DOI or URL.

v0.3-5

• Fix formatting of parenthetical citations (bug introduced previously converted these to citet format)
• Additional documentation
• Install instructions for development version added to README

v0.3-4

• Avoid dropped citations caused by redundant key collisions, closes #21

v0.3-3

• Added a new display option, bibliography('markdown')
• fixed BUG in the printing of the text-based name in bibliography for bibstyle-based calls

v0.3-2

• Semantic citations now enabled. bibliography can print with method ‘rdfa’ to provide RDFa enhanced HTML bibliography data, and citations can take cito arguments as an option. (Closes issues #16 and #17)
• bibliography now takes more options to match the bibstyle and print.bibentry functions.
• citet and citep take an optional argument for formating the citation, defaulting to authoryear format. Future versions may move this into an option.
  
• newbib() function initializes and clears existing cache files.
  
• README.md updated with semantic examples and more background text (generated by inst/examples/README.Rmd).
• Some basic unit tests built in. Could use more, but meanwhile closes #8.
• Test cases work with knit2html button in RStudio, closes #14

v0.3-1

• Switched to handling citation data using environment rather than an external bibfile. This does not refer to the handling of user-provided bibtex files as input data, which are supported as before, but changes only the backend management of that data. The external bibtex file method can be switched back on by setting options("bibtex_data" = TRUE).
  
• There is no need to call print(bibliography, "html"), one can simply call bibliography() or bibliography("html"). Sort is still an option, other options that were for internal use (debug, remove_duplicates) are removed as they are no longer necessary.
  
• Several new functions have been added to handle the new methods.

v0.2-0

• Fix vignette error that prevents knitr 1.0 submission
• Fixed errors on installing package and lack of entries in bibliography
• Semantic print option added but still in early testing

v0.1-0

• bibliography() now takes style as an option (html, text, bibtex output)
• imports write.bib from pkgmaker package instead of from doRNG
• URL in description on CRAN

v0.0-2

• Initial Release

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.
