new maintainer: Georgi N. Boshnakov.
in DESCRIPTION, moved timeDate and
timeSeries from Depends: to
Imports:. This necessitated changes in the examples and
unit tests to get them run smoothly. The implications for end users and
developers are discussed in separate sections below.
in NAMESPACE, now export selectively rather than with a generic
pattern. No longer export symbols starting with a dot. Reexported some
functions that can reasonably be expected when fBasics is
attached (the list of such functions can be adjusted).
tidied up the documentation somewhat. There is now a
_pkgdown file with the functions in the package organised
by topic. Run pkgdown::build_site() on the source directory
(or unpacked tarball) to build the site locally.
removed .HedgeFund1 and .HedgeFund2 -
they were just used to build the dataset
HedgeFund.
The changes are aimed at making the package easier to manage and reduce the side effects for users from attaching it.
Since packages timeDate and timeSeries
are no longer attached by library(fBasics), users may need
to attach them explicitly, if they use functions from them directly.
That said, some functions from timeDate and
timeSeries are reexported by fBasics, so most
users may not even notice any change.
Undocumented functions (mostly starting with a dot, ‘.’) are no longer exported. If you believe that a non-exported and undocumented function should be exported, please open a bug report, giving your reasons.
The notes for users apply to developers, as well. In addition:
fBasics. Please
consider using documented equivalents, if possible. Alternatively, let
us know that they are useful, so that we can document them.See file ChangeLog for changes before 4021.92.
