cycleRtools 1.1.1 (2016-01-18)

• Vignette index entry corrected.
• 'leaflet' package added to suggests and example added to vignette.
• ‘testthat' tests aren’t included in package build; see GitHub repo.

cycleRtools 1.1.0 (2016-01-16)

• Improvements to rolling operations. Rcpp function ('rollmean_') now exported.
• 'read()' wrapper function renamed to 'read_ride()' to avoid naming conflicts.
• New function added for rolling over non-uniformly sampled data: 'rollmean_nunif'.
• Reading functions will now assign useful metadata (critical power & session RPE) to imports.
• Summary method for 'cycleRdata' objects improved.
• Heart rate has been incorporated into the 'cycleRdata' format.
• 'cycleRdata' objects are now specifically documented.
• Rcpp function for calculating W' balance is now exported ('Wbal_'). Also see source code for closer inspection of the algorithm.
• What was formerly Wbal_plots() is now the plot method for 'cycleRdata' objects. The underlying function has been improved and new options added; see '?plot.cycleRdata'.
• '.string' argument for evading NSE has been replaced with 'character.only' for consistency with base functions.
• 'predict.Ptmodels' arguments are now more intuitive.
• ‘read_pwx2' & 'read_tcx2' no longer make use of the parallel package. This shouldn’t have been used indiscriminately.
• 'xml2' is now imported, as functions are used repeatedly in 'read_pwx2' & 'read_tcx2', hence there was potential for performance improvement from removing the '::' operator.
• ‘uniform' function removed as it was likely to misbehave. Uniform sampling frequency is now an implicit assumption, and the replacement function 'expand_stops' (unexported) should return an error if this assumption isn’t met.
• 'mmv' no longer rounds its output--this should be left to the user.
• Example data files added in "extdata" directory.
• The example dataset 'cycling_data' has been renamed to 'ridedata' for brevity.
• 'interval_data' (now just 'intervaldata') updated.
• Testing implemented via testthat.
• Documentation and examples improved.
• Vignette updated.

cycleRtools 1.0.4 (2015-12-02)

• Golden Cheetah (> v3.3) integration.
• For rolling operations, arguments referring to window size are now more clearly named ("window", or some variant thereof), as opposed to 'pd'. Improves readability.
• 'cycleRdata' objects now include cadence.
• 'XML' has been replaced with 'xml2', due to better performance of the latter. The relevant functions ('read_pwx' & 'read_tcx') will also make use of the "parallel" package if available.
• Crude command line functions ('read_pwx2' & 'read_tcx2') have been removed as they lacked portability.
• XML data parsing can now handle missing "fields", hence the '.list' argument is no longer needed.
• More detail added to W' balance (?Wbal) documentation.

cycleRtools 1.0.3 (2015-10-15)

• Can now convert from seconds to "HH:MM:SS".
• In addition to the above, time conversion functions are now also vectorised.

cycleRtools 1.0.2 (2015-10-14)

• New function for interval detection added: interval_detect(). An example data set ('interval_data') also added to compliment this change.
• Removed ggplot dependency in zdist_plot() (formerly dist_plot()); now uses base plot.
• XML:: solution for reading Garmin .tcx files added.
• Plotting functions improved; largely to make them more flexible.
• Summary S3 method added for 'cycleRdata' objects.
• Added an argument to circumvent non-standard evaluation ('.string').
• Timestamps now retrieved from .srm files.
• elevation_correct() now will only write to the working directory.

cycleRtools 1.0.1 (2015-09-24)

• Typo in Wbal() example corrected.

cycleRtools 1.0.0 (2015-09-22)

• First official version; released on CRAN.
