saros.base 1.2.0

New features

• Added file logging for excluded/ignored variables via log_file parameter in refine_chapter_overview(). All removal functions now log which variables/entries are excluded and why (all NA, low n, non-significant, no overlap, type mismatch).
• Added detect_malformed_quarto_project(): exported function to diagnose malformed Quarto website projects (missing index.qmd, missing title in .qmd files, extensible for future checks).
• New function check_variable_labels() to validate variable labels for saros compatibility.
• New function sanitize_chr_vec for ensuring that character vectors are clean:
  • Normalized Unicode strings to NFC form.
  • Removed non-printable characters.
  • Replaced common encoding artifacts (e.g., ’ to ').
• Added chunk template variant 4 (get_chunk_template_defaults(4)) for mesos reports using the new saros package functions crowd_plots_as_tabset() and txt_from_cat_mesos_plots(). This provides a more streamlined approach for generating mesos-specific plots and tables.

Performance improvements

• Vectorized password lookup in refer_main_password_file() for better performance.

Bug fixes

• Fixed critical sorting bug in refine_chapter_overview() where output was incorrectly sorted by variable labels instead of variable positions when using default arguments. The fix includes:
  • Corrected arrange_expr_producer() to properly name arrange expressions with column names instead of logical values.
  • Added ungrouping before sorting in arrange_arrangers_and_groups() to prevent grouped data from interfering with global sort order.
  • Made chapter reordering stable to preserve within-chapter sorting.
• Fixed regex bugs in check_variable_labels().
• Fixed tidyselect warnings in look_for_extended().
• Improved robustness of setup_mesos().
• Added validation checks for email and username columns in create_email_credentials().

Code quality improvements

• Refactored long functions by extracting helper functions:
  • validate_refine_chapter_overview_args()
  • validate_draft_report_args()
  • create_mesos_stubs_from_main_files()
  • gen_qmd_file()
  • create_includes_content_path_df()
  • validate_chapter_structure()
  • look_for_extended()
  • process_yaml()
• Removed broken and unused create_heading() function.
• Removed commented-out and unused code.
• Refactored convert_mesos_groups_to_df and its helper functions to ensure consistent handling of mesos_groups.
• Added a clean_group_data internal helper function to:
  • Drop unused levels for factors.
  • Remove NA and blank strings.

Testing

• Added 169 comprehensive tests across multiple modules (from 331 to 500+ tests).
• Added 16 tests for refine_chapter_overview().
• Added comprehensive sorting tests in test-arrange2.R to verify position-based sorting with intentionally mismatched variable names, labels, and positions.
• Added 27 tests for logging functionality.
• Added tests for setup_mesos helper functions, utility functions, access restriction setup, and directory structure helpers.

Documentation

• Added check_variable_labels() to pkgdown reference.
• Added Copilot instructions for testing and git workflows.

saros.base 1.1.0

• create_directory_structure() example does not create files and folders on disk to save time.
• Templates for mesos output now include newlines between target and others. Thanks to Jon Furuholt for the suggestion.
• draft_report() now has argument write_qmd to toggle the creation of qmd-files.
• Attempted fix of internal arrange2 sorting function. Very hard to get right.

saros.base 1.0.0

Major changes

• Total revision of the entire architecture for maximum flexibility, stability and performance.
• Uses glue templates for creating chunks, see refine_chapter_structure().
• draft_report()
• Breaking changes for mesos setup, now uses setup_mesos() as well for creating stub files referring to a smaller set of main files created by draft_report().
• Countless bugfixes.

Minor changes

• Helper function remove_entry_from_sidebar() for post-processing HTML-files
• Many more validations of arguments and better error messages.

saros.base 0.2.2

• Added vignettes.

saros.base 0.2.1

• CRAN 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.
