I’ve added the include_query_data_row_index parameter to
the Knn_Query() method of the NMSlib R6 Class and at
the same time I added a deprecation warning for this parameter, because
this method currently excludes by default the first output index and
value. By setting the include_query_data_row_index to TRUE the
first output index and value will be returned. This change will take
effect in version 1.1.0 and the Knn_Query() method will return
the first output index and value by default.
I added the “save_data” parameter to the
“save_Index()” method and the “load_data” parameter to
the “initialize()” method of the ‘NMSlib()’ R6 class.
I updated the documentation and references sections as well
I’ve modified the DESCRIPTION and the package.R
file by adding only comments related to a new configuration type in the
reticulate R package (see:
https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate/issues/883#issuecomment-775552812)
I updated the Makevars and the .cpp files from C++11 to
C++17 because I received the following NOTE during checking of the
package: Specified C++11: please update to current default of
C++17
I updated the .Rbuildignore file to exclude the
LICENSE.md file because it gives a NOTE during CRAN
checking
nmslibR 1.0.6
I’ve added a ‘packageStartupMessage’ informing the user in case of
the error ‘attempt to apply non-function’ that he/she has to use the
‘reticulate::py_config()’ before loading the package (in a new R
session)
I’ve updated the ‘SystemRequirements’ in the DESCRIPTION file
nmslibR 1.0.5
I updated the License in the DESCRIPTION file which as of
‘07-05-2021’ will be Apache License Version 2.0. Therefore I
removed also the COPYRIGHTS file from the ‘inst’ directory
I removed LazyData from the DESCRIPTION file
I added the CITATION file in the ‘inst’ directory
I removed the ‘zzz.R’ file and the ‘packageStartupMessage()’
nmslibR 1.0.4
I adjusted the output indices of the Knn_Query method
(NMSlib R6 class) to account for the difference in indexing
between R and Python ( reference :
https://github.com/mlampros/nmslibR/issues/5 )
I removed the dtype ‘DOUBLE’ parameter from the
NMSlib R6 class, KernelKnn_nmslib and
KernelKnnCV_nmslib functions (reference :
https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib/commit/4d2937d6259aebb456db141ee0f3c2c465a51a8e
)
I replaced almost all web-links of the Python nmslib
Package because the initial repository was moved to
https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib
nmslibR 1.0.3
I updated the README.md file and especially the installation
instructions for all mentioned operating systems i.e. Linux, Macintosh,
Windows (switch from python2 to python3 due to pybind11 issues).
nmslibR 1.0.2
The dgCMatrix_2scipy_sparse function was renamed to
TO_scipy_sparse and now accepts either a dgCMatrix or
a dgRMatrix as input. The appropriate format for the nmslibR
package in case of sparse matrices is the dgRMatrix format
(scipy.sparse.csr_matrix)
I added an onload.R file to inform the users about the previous
change [ related with the issue :
https://github.com/mlampros/nmslibR/issues/1 ]
I removed the utils.R file which included internal
functions of the KernelKnn package. Rather than including the
file I now use the getFromNamespace function of the
utils package.
Due to the previous changes I modified the Vignette and the tests
too.
nmslibR 1.0.1
I commented the example(s) and test(s) related to the
dgCMatrix_2scipy_sparse function [ if
(Sys.info()[“sysname”] != ‘Darwin’) ], because the
scipy-sparse library on CRAN is not upgraded and the older
version includes a bug (TypeError : could not interpret data
type). This leads to an error on Macintosh Operating
System ( reference : https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/5353
)
I added links to the github repository (master repository,
issues)
