feedr 0.11.0

• Updated package to current dependency versions
• Splitting Shiny UI elements into a separate package to make maintaining this one easier

feedr 0.10.0

New features

• Add inout() function to calculate trips with RFID loggers are set up to determine directionality

Bug fix

• Fix load_format() so it lose millisecond information in times
• Convert length to numeric in presence() to avoid problems with ui_animate()
• Fix bug which crashed ui_trans()

feedr 0.9.1

• Fix bug wherein dates were converted using wrong timezone, occasionally resulting in wrong date
• Updated included datasets

feedr 0.9.0

Major Changes

• animalnexus.ca now includes 'Settings' tab to change function arguments
• New 'convert' functions: convert_asnipe, convert_anidom, convert_dominance, convert_perc, convert_activity to convert data for use by other packages (namely asnipe, aniDom, Dominance, Perc, activity)
• New summary options for map_leaflet() and map_ggmap(). These arguments perform common data summarizations before plotting, so users have the option of passing unsummarized movement and presence data.
• Removed the dom() function in favour of conversion functions. Dominance can be calculated by other packages.

Bug fixes/tweaks

• load_format(), ui_import() and animalnexus Import tab are now much more forgiving for column names
  • will ignores capitalizations
  • will accept lon, long, and longitude, as well as lat, and latitude for coordinates
  • will accept animal_id or bird_id, and logger_id or feeder_id
  • will rename all to be consistent: animal_id, logger_id, time, lon, lat
• load_format() has new verbose argument to allow/prevent messages about renaming
• load_raw() and load_raw_all() have new verbose argument to allow/prevent progress messages
• load_raw() and load_raw_all() stop if logger_ids extracted as NA

Other

• Internal changes to include more testing
