Version 0.8

pipette 0.8.0 (2022-03-11)

Major changes:

  • No longer reexporting any functions or S4 classes.
  • export, import: Switched to recommended new BiocIO generic approaches, which are now used in multiple Bioconductor packages, notably rtracklayer.
  • export, import: Switched back to readr as default engine from data.table. The data.table fread and fwrite functions have been shown to generate stack imbalances in some edge cases that readr handles better.
  • export: Current default recommended method now dispatches on "object", "con", and "format" arguments. Previous methods that dispatch using "format", "dir", "ext", and/or "file" (adapted from the conventions used in rio package) arguments are soft deprecated, but should still currently work. If you encounter any breaking changes here, please file an issue!
  • import: Current default recommended method now dispatches on "con", "format", and "text" arguments. We have defined our methods to simply handle the "con" argument as a file path. Note that the "text" argument can be useful for passing in raw lines of a particular file format, but we are not currently supporting that edge case in any of our import methods yet. Such functionality may be added in a future update.
  • export data.frame / DataFrame methods now attempt to coerce nested list columns to vector via toString internally when possible.
