multicastR news
2.0.0 [released 21-02-22]
- removed dependency on the data.table package
- functions
multicast, mc_metadata,
mc_referents, and mc_clauses have been fully
rewritten to output data.frames instead of
data.tables
- the version index (as retrieved by function
mc_index)
now includes the number of corpora in each version of the collection
instead of an explicit list of corpora and has a slightly reshuffled
column order
- removed the
mc_table function for its lack of practical
utility
- removed a number of previously hidden functions for file conversion;
these will be made available in the future as a standalone package
available from the Multi-CAST website
- consequently, multicastR no longer imports a number of
packages (
stringi, curl, xml2,
XML, xtable, gsubfn) used by
these functions
