phone() now pre-processes values that are considered
“not a number” to avoid running them through the Java parser. This
massively speeds up phone number parsing for "",
NA and similar values, and fixes an issue where Java would
freeze after seeing a large amount of invalid phone number values
(#27).
It is now possible to create empty phone() vectors
(#28).
show_progress is now a function argument for
phone() and get_timezone(). Previously
progress bar visibility could only be set package wide using the
dialr.show_progress option. Now it can be set locally using
the show_progress function parameter (#25).
Update R dependency to R >= 3.6.0 to match the rJava package (#21).
The old one-shot phone processing functions have been hard deprecated and will now throw an error (#22). These will be removed entirely in the next major release.
Move rJava initialisation to .onLoad() instead of
.onAttach() (#16). Since dialr is a wrapper for a Java
package, rJava has to initialise Java before it will work. Previously,
users had to attach dialr with library(dialr) to properly
initialise Java. Now rJava is initialised when the package is
loaded/referenced, so dialr functions can now be used with the
:: notation (e.g. dialr::phone()) without a
preceding call to library().
Remove is_vector_s3() method at the pillar
maintainer’s request (#19).
Bump minimum supported version following R 4.0.0 release.
Make tests for timezone, geocoder and carrier functions less dependant on existing values to avoid changes in libphonenumber data breaking tests (#14).
This release fixes a bug introduced by changes to the treatment of
list based classes in tibble 3.0.0 that broke phone vectors
in tibbles (#12). All phone vectors now also have the
list class as recommended by the tibble
changelog.
In the future dialr may use the vctrs package to implement the
phone class once vctrs is a bit more stable.
The libphonenumber repo moved to https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/ a little while ago. Docs have been updated accordingly (#11).
Retrieve carrier name with get_carrier()
(#6).
Add geocoding functions get_geocode() and
get_timezone() (#5).
get_example() returns an empty phone number if the
provided type is invalid for the provided region (#8).
phone() constructor now supports parsing phone
numbers in international format without a default region by specifying
NA or "" in the region argument
(#4).
get_type() gets a strict argument. If
TRUE, invalid phone numbers return NA instead
of "UNKNOWN".
Rename “One shot methods” vignette to remove redundant “dialr”.
Code calling libphonenumber methods via rJava has been tweaked for performance, including using more efficient rJava acess methods and caching commonly used static values. Most operations are now approx. 10 times faster.
New introductory vignette("dialr").
New is_match() function supports proper
phone equality checks. == and !=
now use is_match() for phone vectors.
(#1)
More region and type functions implemented. See
?`dialr-region` or ?`dialr-type` for
details.
New get_example() function generates example phone
numbers for provided regions and types.
Improved function documentation.
dialrjarsTo separate libphonenumber updates from structural
package updates, the libphonenumber jars have been split
into the new package dialrjars. This is a breaking change,
and dialrjars will need to be installed for
dialr to continue to work.
In addition to the one-shot phone processing functions, dialr now has
a “phone” S3 class to reduce the processing load from re-parsing phone
numbers for every operation. This is a fundamental package change with a
full set of replacement functions, for details see
?phone.
Initial release.
