• Fix release GitHub Action.

checklist 0.3.3

• New organisation() class to hold the requirements of the organisation. For the time being this is hard-coded to the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO).

• Add vignette("folder", package = "checklist").

checklist 0.3.2

checklist 0.2.4

• check_description() enforces a Language field with a valid [ISO 639-3 code] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Languages/List_of_ISO_639-3_language_codes_(2019)).
• create_package() gains a required language argument. This adds the required Language field to the DESCRIPTION.
• checklist objects gain an update_keywords method. This is currently only relevant for packages. Usage: check your package with x <- check_package(). Add keywords with x$update_keywords(c("keyword 1", "keyword 2"). The method adds the keyword "R package" automatically. Store the keywords with write_checklist(x). Run update_citation() to update the citation files with the keywords. Use x$get_keywords() to retrieve the current keywords.
• Improve the extraction of the DOI from the URL field.
• Allow .rda files in the inst folder of a package.

checklist 0.2.3

• Add vignette("zenodo") on how to set up the integration with Zenodo and ORCID
• check_environment() makes sure that the required repository secrets are set. check_package() performs this check when it runs in a GitHub Action. A missing repository secret results in an error. It points to vignette("getting_started") which indicates how to solve it.

Bugfix

checklist 0.1.13

• A new function update_citation() creates or updates a default citation in inst/CITATION.
• When INBO is not listed as copyright holder, check_description() returns a warning rather than an error. This implies that you can motivate to ignore it via write_checklist(). (#33)

• check_filename() allows R/sysdata.rda. (#62)

checklist 0.1.12

User visible changes

• New new_branch() function to start a new branch from the most recent version of the main branch. This function will run clean_git() before creating the new branch.
• check_package() runs the pkgdown::build_site() by default in interactive sessions. The function gains a pkgdown argument to turn of this behaviour.

Bugfixes

• Install devtools from CRAN as the relevant version in available on CRAN.
• Add GitHub Action to automatically remove artefacts. This is required to keep the used storage to a minimum.

Bugfixes

• Avoid false positive linters when .Rproj file is put under version control.
• check_files() considers files with svg extensions as graphical files.
• Minor bugfix in entrypoint_package.sh.

checklist 0.1.9

User visible changes

• Many communities, both on GitHub and in the wider Git community, are considering renaming the default branch name of their repository from master. GitHub is gradually renaming the default branch of our own repositories from master to main. Therefore checklist now allows both a main or master branch as default. In case both are present, checklist uses main. Using only a master branch yields a note. Hence you must either which to a main branch or allow the note with write_checklist() (#44).

Bugfixes

• Convert fancy single quotes to neutral single quotes (#42).
• Fix check_description().

checklist 0.1.8

• Create a release when pushing a tag starting with v. We use a GitHub Action to create the release instead of an R function.

• Drop the codemeta.json file. It requires constant updating as it contains a package file size.

checklist 0.1.5

• check_documentation() allows NEWS.md to have level 2 headings (##) and single line subitems ( *). It doesn't count URLs when determining the line of a line. This allows lines to be longer than 80 characters due to long URLs.
• check_filename() is more liberal.
  • Allows files ending on -package.Rd.
  • Allows json or yml files starting with a dot and followed by letters.
  • Allows filename cran-comment.md and WORDLIST.
  • Allows man-roxygen as folder name.
