Fixes an issue with testing plot_missing() with the
future ggplot2 release (#28).
states 0.3.2
Several small fixes.
Bug fixes
Manually add a “states-packge” alias for the package doc since
roxygen2 does not do this by default anymore.
Switch from the deprecated ggplot2::aes_string() to
ggplot2::aes() + the .data pronoun in
plot_missing().
Fix a dplyr join warning in
state_panel() due to the new “relationship” argument.
Update old URLs in README and other documentation.
states 0.3.1
Strip readr “spec” attribute from the
cowstates and gwstates data. They are both now plain
data frames with no attributes. (#22)
Expand list of short country names in prettyc(),
e.g. instead of “Belarus (Byelorussia)”, just “Belarus”.
Move to testthat 3rd edition
(3e).
Bug fixes
all.equal() in R 4.1.x (R-devel at this point) will
check environments for equivalence as well. This breaks one test since
2e testthat relies on all.equal() for
expect_equal(). Moving to testthat 3e fixes this bug.
(#26)
states 0.3.0
Although the original COW state list does not distinguish
micro-states, like the G&W list does, the cowstates
data now has a microstates coding derived from the G&W coding (#24).
This makes it easier, for example, to filter out micro-states from a
state panel dataset.
In the gwstates and cowstates data, the “iso3c” columns have been
renamed to “gwn” and “cown”, as they are not in fact ISO 3-character
country abbreviations (#19).
plot_missing()’s “space” argument has been renamed “ccode”.
id_date_sequence() now works with integer years, there is no need to
convert them to Date class anymore (#20).
Improved support for
state_panel shortcuts
state_panel() has further improved support for input
shortcuts (#3):
Accepted formats for the “start” and “end” arguments now include
2006, “2006”, “2000-06”, and “2006-06-01”. See parse_date()
for details.
The implied time period is now also inferred from shortcut input
when “by” is left at the new default of NULL.
The “partial” option has gained new “first” and “last” values that
also support shortcut input. Previously a shortcut input like 2006 could
only be used with the “any” partial option, and to get country-years for
states that were independent on the first day of a year one had to use
state_panel("YYYY-01-01", partial = "exact", ...). This can
now instead be done with
state_panel(2006, partial = "first", ...).
New functions
Added country_names() to translate country codes to
country names and prettyc() to shorten some of the longer
country names, like “Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of”.
Updated vignette on G&W and COW differences to take into account
when trying to translate between codes.
Added compare() helper to compare two statelist data
frames prior to merging.
Added parse_date() to handle more flexible “start” and
“end” date input (#12).
Bug fixes
fixed a misspelled country name, “Rumania” to “Romania”
states 0.2.2
Added option to use simpler input when generating a yearly panel,
i.e. state_panel(2001, 2005) instead of
state_panel("2001-01-01", "2005-01-01", by = "year", partial = "any").
Changed sfind() so that it ignores capitalization and treats
character numbers as numbers. These pairs of queries now produce the
same results, unlike before:
“Gabon” and “gabon”,
260 and “260”
Changes in plot_missing() and missing_info():
make “data” the first argument and “x” the second argument so that
it works nicer in pipes.
add more intelligent defaults so that not all arguments have to be
explicitly specified.
rename the “time_unit” argument to “period”.
added “partial” argument, it works the same as in
state_panel().
Fixed plot_missing() and missing_info() error when “data” is a
tibble (“tbl_df”).
states 0.2.1
plot_missing improvements: examples with Polity data,
added a skip_labels option that will plot every n-th label
for countries instead of all labels to avoid overplotting on the y-axis.
The latter is inspired by https://github.com/xuyiqing/panelView.
Added Polity combined score as example data set.
Fixed encoding issue for gwstates$country_names like
Cote d’Ivoire and Wüttemberg.
states 0.2.0
Initial version on CRAN.
Refactor state_panel and add a partial option to allow
including partial state-periods (as opposed to the default which is
based on the exact start date, for all period resolutions in “by”).
Rework plot_missing: fix a bug that would leave out
independent states with no cases in the input data; add
missing_info function that generates the data underlying
the plots.
Add pkgdown website for states package
documentation.
states 0.1.0
Initial version on Github.
Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the
package.
