foghorn

v1.2.3

The number of CRAN check flavors is back to 12. A new function n_cran_flavors reads the table on the CRAN website that lists the number of flavors, caches it, and returns this number. This is a more robust way to ensure that the number of flavors (used in the package) is always accurate. There is also the possibility of setting the number of flavors (and disabling caching) using options, see the help for the n_cran_flavors() function for more information.

The number of CRAN check flavors is now 13. Code and tests have been adjusted to take this change into account.

The documentation of cran_incoming() is improved (#35 by @bbolker).
The folder waiting in the CRAN submission queue wasn’t documented and could not be inspected by using the argument folders in the function cran_incoming() (#35 by @bbolker and #38, reported by @HenrikBengtsson).

The vignette “Quick start” has been renamed “Get started” so it could be more visible and easily accessible in the documentation website (#36 reported by @maelle).
The argument v.names in the function stats::reshape wasn’t fully spelled (#37 by @jennybc).

The output of cran_incoming now includes the date/time (contribution by @bbolker, #30)
foghorn respects the CRAN mirror set by the users instead of using https://cran.r-project.org.
When a failure (other than 404) occurs while trying to obtain the data for a package, foghorn will retry up to three times.

foghorn would, in some cases, return that a valid package name published on CRAN did not exit (#29, @zkamvar).
The recent newbies folder found on the CRAN FTP incoming server has been added to the list of places to check packages in CRAN’s submission queue (#32).
When a package only had “additional issues”, the summary functions would report that everything was clear (#33, @coatless)

Let users filter the CRAN incoming folder they want to inspect. Feature requested by @krlmlr, #28.

The noemail folder has been removed from the CRAN FTP incoming server. cran_incoming() has been updated to reflect this change.
foghorn has an hex logo. Thanks to Maëlle Salmon for feedback on initial design.

Add cran_incoming() to retrieve the list of packages currently in the CRAN incoming queue. Feature requested by @krlmlr, #24.
foghorn is now compatible with R >= 3.1. Suggested by @jimhester, #26.

check_cran_results() and show_cran_results() are deprecated in favor of cran_results() and summary_cran_details() respectively.

Add initial support for https://cranchecks.info as a data source (not exported/tested at this stage).
Take into consideration issues other than memtest when parsing the HTML CRAN check page.
Add argument print_ok to summary() method for cran_results that can optionally print an “all clear” message when all CRAN checks return “OK” for a package.
A progress bar is displayed when the RDS files are being downloaded from CRAN if the progress package is installed (#17).
The version number of the packages are displayed in cran_details().
All the functions return tibbles, with column names in lower case.

Fix bug #14 reported by @hadley, no issues are now represented as 0 instead of NA.
Fix bug that would display a number instead of the package name in some situations.

CRAN has merged memtest notes with a new “other issues” that run valgrind and other memory issues on multiple platforms/compilers. Therefore, memtest is renamed “other issues”.
