retroharmonize 0.2.6

retroharmonize 0.2.5

Unified function interface and parameter names.
This development version has a few known issues.

retroharmonize 0.2.3

New long form documentation.
metadata_surveys_create() will take now either a list of surveys, or file names of saved surveys.

retroharmonize 0.2.2

All functions containing 'wave' in the name are deprecated. Survey 'waves' are renamed to 'survey_list', because 'waves' is used in Eurobarometer and a more generic and standardized interface was built.

retroharmonize 0.2.0

Adding rogtemplate for more consistent ROpenGov documentation.
Several documentation good practices. (Thanks for the contribution from @dieghernan).
The former create_codebook() function is now create_codebook() for naming consistency.

retroharmonize 0.1.9

New function read_dta() for importing STATA files.

retroharmoinze 0.1.18

New functions codebook_create() and codebook_waves_create()
Improved retroharmonize_labelled_spss_survey() summary method.
Much exception handling included in the import file (discovered problems with Caucasus Barometer files.)
Sometimes haven::read_spss() reads columns as labelled, even though they do not have a single label. In class survey() we convert them back to numeric or character types.

retroharmoinze 0.1.17

Released on CRAN. (Date: 2021-06-27)

retroharmoinze 0.1.16

Package moved to rOpenGov.
Arab Barometer tutorial vignette.
Transition to tidyverse 1.0+ with using the rlang .data pronoun, etc.
Bug fix in harmonize_waves(): Date types are now correctly harmonized.
We started building an experimental APIs data is running regions regularly and improving known statistical data sources. See: Digital Music Observatory, Green Deal Data Observatory, Economy Data Observatory.

retroharmoinze 0.1.15

Documentation improvements.
A new function, harmonize_var_names(), helps to systematically rename variables in a list of surveys. Conventional names to keep are returned by suggest_permanent_names(), and the helper function suggest_var_names() provides a simple wrapper around var_label_normalize() and suggest_permanent_names().
A new function, subset_waves(), helps to subset a wave of surveys.
With the help of goodpractice, some coding good practices are introduced.

retroharmoinze 0.1.14

harmonize_values() now accepts perl-like regex.

retroharmonize 0.1.13

In the examples that use file operations, dontrun{} replaced by donttest{}.
This is the first released version on CRAN.

retroharmonize 0.1.12

retroharmonize 0.1.6-0.1.12 are making the package ready for CRAN release.

retroharmonize 0.1.5

retroharmonize 0.1.1-0.1.5 are not intended for release, they contain numerous development stages of a new package.

retroharmonize 0.1.0

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Class definition and description.
