Version 0.3.4

Improvements

Testing Change

  • Update test-build_r_pkg.R to be robust to platform.
  • Update test-build_r_pkg.R expectations based on devtools availability.
  • Constrain keyring tests to a temporary keyring directory.
  • Avoid building/installing a generated package inside the vignette during checks.
  • Update test-export to use the REDCapR public dev-2 test endpoint/token and skip on curl-related failures.

Version 0.3.3

CRAN release: 2026-02-28

Testing Change

  • The API used for testing is no longer working. The test as been removed from this version of the package so the package can stay on CRAN while a better solution is found. (#18)

Minor changes

  • Fix spelling in documenttation

Version 0.3.2

CRAN release: 2025-07-29

  • fix issue in test-export.R - it could/would fail if there was a time out related to CURL. Fix looks for an error and if the error is curl related the testing is skipped. Other errors will still be thrown.

    archer01_csv <- export_core(uri = ‘https://bbmc.ouhsc.edu/redcap/api/’, token = ‘9A81268476645C4E5F03428B8AC3AA7B’) Getting Project Info Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(uri, handle = h) : Timeout was reached [bbmc.ouhsc.edu]: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds Calls: export_core … export_content -> -> raise_libcurl_error Execution halted

Version 0.3.1

CRAN release: 2024-11-06

Bug fix

  • modify code in R/as.R to not use the |> operator so that the package code has more backward compatibility.

Version 0.3.0

CRAN release: 2024-09-20

  • updated source code to address deprecated roxygen2 documentation tags
  • Extend the col_types to use lubridate arguments for working with dates and datetimes
  • Add a vignette about formatting
  • remove as.data.table only return data.frames. End users can then coerce the data.frame to a tibble or data.table if they prefer.
  • add additional columns to the example data to test and demonstrate the use of the package

Bug Fixes

  • improved the internal read_text function’s checking of the Content-Type from the raw data.

  • formatting of data from json

  • col_type handling of checkboxes

  • col_type correctly sets character instead of factor for “completed” fields

Version 0.2.2

CRAN release: 2021-02-02

Extensions

  • made format_record a S3 generic.
    • Allows for a similar API as prior version
      • USER VISIBLE CHANGE the functional argument record no longer exists, use the generic argument x
    • Allows for easier use by taking in a rcer_rccore object so the metadata or the col_type does not need to be explicitly defined.

Version 0.2.1

CRAN release: 2020-05-15

Bug Fixes

  • The dependence on the RCurl package resulted in SSL errors on Windows. The package no longer imports RCurl and uses curl instead. (#16)

Version 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2020-02-26

Bug Fixes and Extensions

  • support formatting for check boxes (integer columns in record) (#12)
  • omit description text fields form auto formatting (#10)
  • refactoring the format_record so columns not explicitly defined in the col_type are returned. Prior version would have omitted the columns. This also allows for redcap_* columns to pass through (#9)
  • Add helper functions for building and working with a keyring for storage and access to API tokens (#14)
  • Support more, if not all, column types (#15)

Version 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2019-12-22

Initial release.
