plume 0.2.5

$get_author_list(suffix =) is now slightly more flexible and will try less hard to sanitise author list suffixes (#90).
PlumeQuarto no longer converts roles to lower case (#88).
PlumeQuarto now supports authors’ degrees and the group affiliation property (#53).
PlumeQuarto now properly handles authors with no roles (#81).
PlumeQuarto now supports .yml and .yaml files (#82).

plume 0.2.4

Tweaked some examples in the vignettes and expand the Contributions section in vignette("plume").
Fixed selection helpers not working when imported explicitly with :: (#76).
citation("plume") now generates the complete and up-to-date citation of plume (#75).

plume 0.2.3

$new(initials_given_name = TRUE) no longer makes initials if names are written in a script that doesn’t use letter cases (#73).
Fixed PlumeQuarto’s example no longer working with withr 3.0.0 due to a wrong usage of local_tempfile() (#70).
$get_author_list() now throws a more informative error if corresponding authors have not been set (#69).
The .roles parameter in $set_main_contributors() now propagates roles that are not already set to any unnamed expression. This allows you to set the same main contributors across all but a few specific roles in a single call (#65).
$to_yaml() now only adds the affiliations schema if there is at least one affiliation (#67).
$to_yaml() now only adds authors’ id if there are at least two authors (#66).

plume 0.2.2

Documentation changes

vignette("working-in-other-languages") has been extended to describe how to overwrite default arguments to match your preferred language better.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

Clarified error messages by suppressing purrr’s wrapper error (#63).
$to_yaml() now writes author metadata in a separate YAML header if the original YAML header contains strippable meta-information such as comments, custom tags or folded blocks (#56, #61).
The way $set_*() methods handle ... has been overhauled for more consistent results and to ensure the methods work correctly in edge cases (#59, #60).
$get_contributions() now throws the correct error if you pass a wrong argument to the sep parameter (#55).
The order of $get_affiliations()/$get_notes() parameters have been switched for consistency purposes (#54).

plume 0.2.1

Fixed $get_contributions() wrongly reordering authors when using CRediT roles and by_author = TRUE (#50).
$get_contributions() gains a new parameter sep that allows for finer control of how to separate contributors or roles (#49).
$to_yaml() now throws an error when invalid ORCID identifiers are found.
Plume’s parameter by is now working properly (#48).
The format parameter of $get_author_list() is now deprecated in favour of the less ambiguous parameter suffix (#47).

plume 0.2.0

New features

Plume gains a new method $set_main_contributors() that allows you to force one or more contributors to appear first in the contribution list for any given role. Because of this new method, Plume’s contructor gained the parameter by to set the default by/.by value used in all $set_*() methods (#40).
New helper credit_roles() that returns the 14 contributor roles of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy. These are now the default roles used by plume.

The plume role handling system has been overhauled for better flexibility and ease of use (#29).

plume classes gain a new parameter roles allowing you to specify roles using a named character vector.

Rather than:

# A tibble: 2 × 4
  given_name family_name role_1      role_2
  <chr>      <chr>       <chr>       <chr>
1 Zip        Zap         Supervision Writing
2 Ric        Rac         NA          Writing

You can now use the following data structure:

# A tibble: 2 × 4
  given_name family_name role_1 role_2
  <chr>      <chr>        <dbl>  <dbl>
1 Zip        Zap              1      1
2 Ric        Rac             NA      1

And speficy roles when creating a plume object:

Plume$new(data, roles = c(role_1 = "Supervision", role_2 = "Writing"))

plm_template() gains a new parameter role_cols to create role columns from a character vector.

Lifecycle changes

$set_equal_contributor() is now deprecated in favour of $set_cofirst_authors() due to the ambiguous name of the method (#45).

everyone_but() is now deprecated as this function is not necessary since not more than a couple of authors should normally be given a particular status (#44).

The by parameter in $set_*() methods is now deprecated in favour of .by for consistency purposes (#41).

Defining roles explicitly in the input data or using credit_roles = TRUE are now deprecated in favour of defining role columns and roles via the parameters role_cols and roles, respectively (see details about the new role handling system above).

Documentation changes

The using-credit-roles vignette was removed as it is no longer needed.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

Removed stringb dependency in favour of stringr (#42).
Updated the encyclopedists and encyclopedists_fr data to comply with the new role column system (#39). Column names have also been homogenised (#46).
$to_yaml() now preserves line breaks preceding leading or isolated --- (#37).
plm_template() now returns role columns as numeric type (#26).
Initials now drop dots present in author names (#31).
plume classes now error when a role column contains multiple roles (#28).
