getopt 1.20.4

• Documentation tweaks eliminating a CRAN check NOTE.
• {covr} is no longer a “suggested” package in the DESCRIPTION file.

getopt 1.20.3

• Now by default getopt() won’t override a user specified opt argument if argv is in the global environment. Will continue to use argv as a default for opt if it is in the global environment and the user does not specify an opt argument (for littler compatibility).

getopt 1.20.2

• Now allows one to pass an empty string to a character option. Thanks Matthew Flickinger for bug report.

getopt 1.20.1

• Now explicitly imports the na.omit() method from the stats package. Thanks Derrick Oswald for bug report.
• Improved parsing for negative numbers preceded by a space instead of a ‘=’ sign.
  Thanks Roman Zenka for improved regular expression.
• Slightly more informative error message if storage.mode() coercion results in an NA. Thanks Roman Zenka for suggestion.

getopt 1.20.0

• Type of “numeric” in spec automatically cast to “double”.
  Previously users might have had an error passing negative numbers if they accidentally specified “numeric” instead of “double”.
• Project website moved to https://github.com/trevorld/getopt
• Exports new function sort_list().

getopt 1.19.1

• If a passed in option matches multiple options in the getopt specification but matches one exactly then getopt now uses that value instead of throwing a “long flag is ambiguous” error.

getopt 1.19.0

• Exports new function get_Rscript_filename() that returns name of calling script, {getopt} now uses this function value as default for command argument.
• Documentation improved and now highlights differences between {getopt} and {optparse} packages for new undecided users.

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.
