bioRad 0.7.1
bioRad 0.7 includes a major backend overhaul that deprecates the use of Docker. All Docker-dependent functionality is now included in the new dependency package vol2birdR package, which needs to be installed as part of bioRad. All bioRad functions remain the same, but several functions will run considerable faster.
New features
-
bioRad is now fully available on Windows.
-
Simplified installation, including automatic installation of rhdf5 from bioconductor (#464).
-
Faster implementations of functions previously dependent on Docker, such as
calculate_vp()
,apply_mistnet()
andread_pvolfile()
. -
Support for reading VPTS CSV format through updated function
read_vpts()
. VPTS CSV table schema included to allow offline parsing of VPTS CSV files as a frictionless data package (#551, #590). -
Updated function
read_vpts()
supports readingvp
/vpts
data in ODIM HDF and VPTS CSV format (#551, #590). -
New function
list_vpts_aloft()
produces a list of aloft archive URLs for time series of vertical profiles (vpts
). This list of URLs can then be used to bulk download data using any number of external tools (#553). -
New function
read_stdout()
replaces previous functionality ofread_vpts()
to read vol2bird stdout format. It also has a newsep
argument (#536) to support both fixed-delimited and comma-separated stdout data. -
New function
as.vpts
converts a data.frame originating from a VPTS CSV file into a vpts object (#555). Inverse operation ofas.data.frame.vpts()
. -
read_pvolfiles()
now allows ODIM H5 files with missingsource
attribute. The functionality is similar toread_vpfiles()
, i.e. extracting the NOD, RAD or WMO identifier, otherwise usingunknown
(2f6935c). -
bind_into_vpts()
now works for vp and vpts objects with different heights (#343). -
Faster parallel mistnet runs (adokter/vol2birdR#16).
