Long standing issues

snakecase 0.11.0 (25.05.19)

Changes in 0.10.0 and 0.10.0.9000

New functionality:

• abbreviations: Abbreviations are now ...
  • ... matched case-insensitive inside of groups of connected lower/upper case sequences.
  • ... consistently formatted according to the supplied case.
  • ... formatted exactly as supplied for the cases title, mixed, lower and upper camel.
  • ... protected from the parsing. This means that
    • special characters in abbreviations don't need to be taken care of anymore. The formatting of digits or special characters like hyphens, colons etc. will be formatted as specified.
• parsing_option:
  • new parsing option 3 parses "SOmeNIceSTUFf".
  • parsing options starting with a minus (-1, -2, -3) don't interprete non-alphanumeric characters as word boundaries. E.g. "This.text" will stay "This.text" in upper camel case.
• cases
  • title: New case which should be especially useful for automatic generation of proper labels within graphics or business reports. Builds up on sentence case which is wrapped within tools::toTitleCase().
  • random: New case, which will randomly convert letters into upper or lower case.
• numerals: new alignment option "tight" which allows to suppress all underscores between numerals and letters.
• sep_out: sep_out gets proper vectorization. In case of length(sep_out) > 1 differing substrings are connected by the (possibly) differing elements of sep_out. Therefore, sep_out gets accordingly shortened or the last element of sep_out gets recycled to match the number of needed separators for each element of string.
• UTF8 Conversion: Input is now always converted to UTF-8 and returned as UTF8. Also the transliterations argument is now aware of non-UTF8 encoded input.

Infrastructure:

• CII best practices badge: Achieved the criteria for the best practices badge. Current status is under https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/de/projects/2475
• R Version: Increase from 3.1 to 3.2 regarding the usage of tools::toTitleCase() inside to_title_case().
• Vignettes: The blog article "Introducing the snakecase package" was added as a vignette.
• Documentation: The readme, the examples and the function documentation were updated according to the new functionality.
• Resolve CRAN notes:
  • Tests: Skip to_any_case() tests (janitor-pkg-tests, transliterations and complex strings) when platform charset is not UTF-8 to resolve CRAN notification regarding character encoding.
  • Vignettes: Build the package with new version of knitr to resolve CRAN notification regarding vignette encoding.
