Rparadox 0.1.5
CRAN check Note fix
- remove incorrect CRAN link in Readme.
Rparadox 0.1.4
Cosmetic fixes
- Add misplaced picture link at Readme.Rmd.
- Add pxlib URL to DESCRIPTION file.
- Fix NEWS format.
Rparadox 0.1.3
New features
- Added a high-level
read_paradox() function for a
simple, one-step workflow to read Paradox files. This is now the
recommended function for most users.
- Added a
pxlib_metadata() function to retrieve database
metadata (number of records, field details, encoding) without reading
the entire dataset.
Bug fixes and improvements
- The architecture for handling character encodings has been
completely refactored. The C-level code now returns raw character data,
and all conversion to UTF-8 is handled reliably in R via the
stringi package(ICU) instead of Riconv. This fixes test
failures on CRAN and improves robustness for files on various operating
systems.
- Added
stringi to package imports.
- Added extensive tests for the new
read_paradox() and
pxlib_metadata() functions.
- Documentation and examples have been updated to reflect the new
functions and recommended workflow.
Rparadox 0.1.2
Bug fixes and improvements
- Fixed CRAN check issues on Debian: package no longer attempts to
open Paradox files in write mode (
rb+ → rb).
This ensures full compliance with CRAN Policy (no writes outside of
temporary directories).
- Fixed heap-buffer-overflow in
PX_get_data_alpha
(discovered with AddressSanitizer). Now the function safely respects
field length and prevents out-of-bounds reads for fixed-length strings
without \0.
- Improved handling of invalid/null Paradox dates with an upper bound
filter for extreme values.
- Added proper
.gitignore entries for
cran-comments.md and CRAN-SUBMISSION.
- Updated README with CRAN badges and installation instructions.
- Expanded test coverage: re-enabled datasets with German, English and
Russian encodings, including CP866.
Rparadox 0.1.1
Bug fixes and improvements
- Fixed CRAN feedback:
- Removed unnecessary
\dontrun{} in examples.
Added fast, self-contained examples using demo files
(biolife.db, of_cp866.db in
inst/extdata).
- Ensured no commented-out example code remains.
- All examples now run in < 5s and without commented-out code.
- Fixed vignette build issue on CRAN check servers:
- Explicitly added
rmarkdown in
VignetteBuilder
to avoid failures when running with --no-suggests.
- Memory management improvements:
- Fixed memory leaks in src/interface.c when reading BLOB fields.
- Examples and vignette now run cleanly under Valgrind.
- Verified that all examples run in < 5 sec and vignettes
build
successfully across test environments.
