v0.9.21 (CRAN)

Changes in version 0.9.21 (2023-02-03)

This package version requires R >= 4.1

Bugfixes and changes

analyse_portableOSL()

• The function can now handle a list of RLum.Analysis-class objects
  and automatically process them in a conventional way. Potential
  breaking change warning: the $summary data frame gained an
  additional column, SAMPLE. If you access columns index-based, you
  have to double-check your code. The manual was updated accordingly.
• A new ... argument sample was added to allow adding information on
  the sample for the plot
• The function did not like sequences with only one pair of OSL/IRSL and
  returned an error; fixed.

convert_PSL2CSV()

• Add new argument single_table to enable the export of PSL data into
  a single spreadsheet table (CSV file), each curve is represented by
  two columns
• Add new argument extract_raw_data, which allows extracting the raw
  data convienently. Those data are already imported by read_PSL2R()
  but they remain somewhat hidden in the @info slots of each
  RLum.Data.Curve object.

fit_LMCurve()

• If the argument fit.calcError was set to TRUE and the parameter
  confidence interval calculation failed, the function stopped with an
  uncontrolled error. Now it shows a meaningful warning instead.

plot_RadialPlot()

• Fix a few visual problems if the dataset has negative values (thanks
  to Alice Versendaal for reporting)

read_BIN2R()

• Function crashed under edge conditions while testing concise records
  returning a subscript out-of-bounds error; fixed.
• The function struggled to read files from downloads (URL instead of a
  local file path) correctly on Windows machines; fixed.

write_RLum2CSV()

• The function now accepts data.frame objects as input. This has no
  particular advantage over the base R functions, such as write.csv()
  but is used internally in combination with other functions.

Internals

• Fix outdated URL in github.R
