CRAN release: 2025-02-03

  • performance issue fix
  • move repository to ai4ci

interfacer 0.3.4

  • allow renaming or preprocessing of variable names in igroup_process and use of .groupdata parameter in dispatch function.
  • @ireturn roxygen2 tag for automatically picking up format from ireturn(df,spec) (n.b. this will hit the first detected value, not all of them).

interfacer 0.3.5

  • documentation of @iparam grouping accounts for igroup_process calls in function body

interfacer 0.3.7

  • experimental support for group processing by an externally supplied interface spec

interfacer 0.4.0

  • Change in idispatch to allow lazy evaluation in parameters and correct behaviour in the context of data-mask processing and defusal / quoted evaluation.
  • Some internal (but exported) demo testing functions added to allow more rigorous outside of package scope (e.g. ?demo_idispatch)
  • Much improved testing of idispatch using demo functions.
  • No functional downstream impacts should be obvious unless anyone relying on eager evaluation in previous versions of idispatch
