- C++
Published by gagolews 11 months ago

stringi - stringi_1.8.4

1.8.4 (2024-05-06)

[BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] Fixed the *format string is not a string literal

(potentially insecure)* warnings.

- C++
Published by gagolews about 2 years ago

stringi - stringi_1.8.2

1.8.2 (2021-11-22)

  • [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] #501: Fixed failing build on 32-bit Windows (Windows API ResolveLocaleName function not available).

  • [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] #502: PKG_CPPFLAGS are now considered before other CPPFLAGS (the same with other flag types) in the configure script to make it compatible with what happens in Makevars.

  • [BUILD TIME] [BUGFIX] Support for ICU's doubleconversion on Loongarch has been restored (see #463).

Published by gagolews over 2 years ago

stringi - stringi_1.8.1

1.8.1 (2023-11-09)

  • [GENERAL] ICU bundle updated to version 74.1 (Unicode 15.1, CLDR 44).

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] [BUILD TIME] Support for Solaris has now been dropped. The package is no longer shipped with the very outdated ICU55 bundle. A compiler supporting at least C++11 as well as ICU >= 61 are now required.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] #469: Missing date-time fields in stri_datetime_parse and stri_datetime_create now default to today's midnight local time.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] Removed the long-deprecated and defunct fallback_encoding parameter of stri_read_lines and the ellipsis parameter of stri_opts_collator, stri_opts_regex, stri_opts_fixed, and stri_opts_regex.

  • [BUILD TIME] As per the suggestion of Prof. Brian Ripley, icudt74l (ICU data - little endian) is now included in the source tarball (compressed with xz to save space). This allows for building stringi on systems with no internet access.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #476: In break iterator-, date-time-, and collator-based operations (e.g., stri_sort), a warning is emitted when the root ICU resource bundle is returned when using an explicitly requested locale. This might happen when we pass an 'unknown' locale argument to these functions. Note that when relying on the default locale=NULL argument, no warning is emitted. In such a case, checking if the default locale as returned by stri_enc_get is amongst those listed in stri_enc_list is recommended.

  • [NEW FEATURE] The C locale identifier now resolves to en_US_POSIX.

  • [BUGFIX] #469: stri_datetime_parse did not reset the Calendar object when parsing multiple dates.

  • [BUGFIX] #487: Some functions did not accept ASCII strings longer than 858993457 characters on input.

- C++

1.7.12 (2023-01-09)

  • [BUGFIX] Fixed some potential problems reported by rchk.

  • [NOTE] [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE IF ICU >= 72] If building against ICU >= 72, note a backward incompatible change: @ is no longer a word break; see https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/pull/2256 for more details.

stringi - stringi_1.7.1

What Is New in stringi

1.7.1 (2021-07-14)

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] %s$% and %stri$% now use the new stri_sprintf (see below) function instead of base::sprintf.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY, NEW FEATURE] In stri_sub<- and stri_sub_all<-, providing a negative length from now on does not result in the corresponding input string being altered.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY, NEW FEATURE] In stri_sub and stri_sub_all, negative length results in the corresponding output being NA or not extracted at all, depending on the setting of the new argument ignore_negative_length.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY, BUGFIX, NEW FEATURE] In stri_subset* and their replacement versions, pattern and value cannot be longer than str (but now they are recycled if necessary).

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY, NEW FEATURE] stri_sub* now accept the from argument being a matrix like cbind(from, length=length). Unnamed columns or any other names are still interpreted as cbind(from, to). Also, the new argument use_matrix can be used to disable the special treatment of such matrices.

  • [DOCUMENTATION] It has been clarified that the syntax of *_charclass (e.g., used in stri_trim*) differs slightly from regex character classes.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #420: stri_sprintf (alias: stri_string_format) is a Unicode-aware replacement for and enhancement of the base sprintf: it adds a customised handling of NAs (on demand), computing field size based on code point width, outputting substrings of at most given width, variable width and precision (both at the same time), etc. Moreover, stri_printf can be used to display formatted strings conveniently.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #153: stri_match_*_regex now extract capture group names.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #25: stri_locate_*_regex now have a new argument, capture_groups, which allows for extracting positions of matches to parenthesised subexpressions.

  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_locate_* now have a new argument, get_length, whose setting may result in generating from-length matrices (instead of from-to ones).

  • [NEW FEATURE] #438: stri_trans_general now supports rule-based as well as reverse-direction transliteration.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #434: stri_datetime_format and stri_datetime_parse are now vectorised also with respect to the format argument.

  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_datetime_fstr has a new argument, ignore_special, which defaults to TRUE for backward compatibility.

  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_datetime_format, stri_datetime_add, and stri_datetime_fields now call as.POSIXct more eagerly.

  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_trim* now have a new argument, negate.

  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_replace_rstr converts gsub-style replacement strings to stri_replace-style.

  • [INTERNAL] stri_prepare_arg* have been refactored, buffer overruns in the exception handling subsystem are now avoided.

  • [BUGFIX] Few functions (stri_length, stri_enc_toutf32, etc.) did not throw an exception on an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence (and merely issues a warning instead).

  • [BUGFIX] stri_datetime_fstr did not honour NA_character_ and did not parse format strings such as "%Y%m%d" correctly. It has now been completely rewritten (in C).

  • [BUGFIX] stri_wrap did not recognise the width of certain Unicode sequences correctly.

- C++
Published by gagolews over 4 years ago

stringi - stringi_1.6.2

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] In stri_enc_list(), simplify now defaults to TRUE.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #425: The outputs of stri_enc_list(), stri_locale_list(), stri_timezone_list(), and stri_trans_list() are now sorted.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #428: In stri_flatten, na_empty=NA now omits missing values.

  • [BUILD TIME] #431: Pre-4.9.0 GCC has ::max_align_t, but not std::max_align_t, added a (possible) workaround, see the INSTALL file.

  • [BUGFIX] #429: stri_width() misclassified the width of certain code points (including grave accent, Eszett, etc.); General category Sk (Symbol, modifier) is no longer of width 0, UCHAREASTASIANWIDTH of UEA_AMBIGUOUS is no longer of width 2.

  • [BUGFIX] #354: ALTREP CHARSXPs were not copied, and thus could have been garbage collected in the so-called meanwhile (with thanks to @jimhester).

- C++
Published by gagolews almost 5 years ago

stringi - stringi_1.6.1

What Is New in stringi

1.6.1 (2021-05-05)

  • [GENERAL] #401: stringi is now bundled with ICU4C 69.1 (upgraded from 61.1), which is used on most Windows and OS X builds as well as on *nix systems not equipped with system ICU. However, if the C++11 support is disabled, stringi will be built against the battle-tested ICU4C 55.1. The update to ICU brings Unicode 13.0 and CLDR 39 support.

  • [DOCUMENTATION] A draft version of a paper on stringi is now available at https://stringi.gagolewski.com/_static/vignette/stringi.pdf

  • [GENERAL] stringi now requires R >= 3.1 (CXX_STD of CXX11 or CXX1X).

  • [NEW FEATURE] #408: stri_trans_casefold() performs case folding; this is different from case mapping, which is locale-dependent. Folding makes two pieces of text that differ only in case identical. This can come in handy when comparing strings.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #421: stri_rank() ranks strings in a character vector (e.g., for ordering data frames with regards to multiple criteria, the ranks can be passed to order(), see #219).

  • [NEW FEATURE] #266: stri_width() now supports emojis.

  • [NEW FEATURE] %s$% and %stri$% are now vectorised with respect to both arguments.

  • [BUGFIX] stri_sort_key() now outputs bytes-encoded strings.

  • [BUGFIX] #415: locale='' was not equivalent to locale=NULL in stri_opts_collator().

  • [INTERNAL] #414: Use LEVELS(x) macro instead of accessing (x)->sxpinfo.gp directly (@lukaszdaniel).

1.5.3 (2020-09-04) CRAN

  • [NEW FEATURE] #400: %s$% and %stri$% are now binary operators that call base R's sprintf().

  • [NEW FEATURE] #399: The %s*% and %stri*% operators can be used in addition to stri_dup(), for the very same purpose.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #355: stri_opts_regex() now accepts the time_limit and stack_limit options so as to prevent malformed or malicious regexes from running for too long.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #345: stri_startswith() and stri_endswith() are now equipped with the negate parameter.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #382: Incorrect regexes are now reported to ease debugging.

  • [DEPRECATION WARNING] #347: Any unknown option passed to stri_opts_fixed(), stri_opts_regex(), stri_opts_coll(), and stri_opts_brkiter() now generates a warning. In the future, the ... parameter will be removed, so that will be an error.

  • [DEPRECATION WARNING] stri_duplicated()'s fromLast argument has been renamed from_last. fromLast is now its alias scheduled for removal in a future version of the package.

  • [DEPRECATION WARNING] stri_enc_detect2() is scheduled for removal in a future version of the package. Use stri_enc_detect() or the more targeted stri_enc_isutf8(), stri_enc_isascii(), etc., instead.

  • [DEPRECATION WARNING] stri_read_lines(), stri_write_lines(), stri_read_raw(): use con argument instead of fname now. The argument fallback_encoding is scheduled for removal and is no longer used. stri_read_lines() does not support encoding="auto" anymore.

  • [DEPRECATION WARNING] nparagraphs in stri_rand_lipsum() has been renamed n_paragraphs.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #398: Alternative, British spelling of function parameters has been introduced, e.g., stri_opts_coll() now supports both normalization and normalisation.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #393: stri_read_bin(), stri_read_lines(), and stri_write_lines() are no longer marked as draft API.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #187: stri_read_bin(), stri_read_lines(), and stri_write_lines() now support connection objects as well.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #386: New function stri_sort_key() for generating locale-dependent sort keys which can be ordered at the byte level and return an equivalent ordering to the original string (@DavisVaughan).

  • [BUGFIX] #138: stri_encode() and stri_rand_strings() now can generate strings of much larger lengths.

  • [BUGFIX] stri_wrap() did not honour indent correctly when use_width was TRUE.

stringi - stringi_1.3.1

1.3.1 (2019-02-10) CRAN

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] #335: A fix to #314 (by design) prevented the use of the system ICU if the library had been compiled with U_CHARSET_IS_UTF8=1. However, this is the default setting in libicu>=61. From now on, in such cases the system ICU is used more eagerly, but stri_enc_set() issues a warning stating that the default (UTF-8) encoding cannot be changed.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #232: All stri_detect_* functions now have the max_count argument that allows for, e.g., stopping at first pattern occurrence.

  • [NEW FEATURE] #338: stri_sub_replace() is now an alias for stri_sub<-() which makes it much more easily pipable (@yutannihilation, @BastienFR).

  • [NEW FEATURE] #334: Added missing icudt61b.dat to support big-endian platforms (thanks to Dimitri John Ledkov @xnox).

  • [BUGFIX] #296: Out-of-the box build used to fail on CentOS 6, upgraded ./configure to --disable-cxx11 more eagerly at an early stage.

  • [BUGFIX] #341: Fixed possible buffer overflows when calling strncpy() from within ICU 61.

  • [BUGFIX] #325: Made ./configure more portable so that it works under /bin/dash now.

  • [BUGFIX] #319: Fixed overflow in stri_rand_shuffle().

  • [BUGFIX] #337: Empty search patters in search functions (e.g., stri_split_regex() and stri_count_fixed()) used to raise too many warnings on empty search patters.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] stri_install_check and stri_install_icudt are now deprecated. From now on they are supposed to be used only by the stringi installer.
  • [BUGFIX] #176: a patch for sys/feature_tests.h no longer included (the original file was copyrighted by Sun Microsystems); fixed the Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open applications and pre-2001 POSIX applications error by forcing _XPG6 conformance.
  • [BUGFIX] #174: stri_paste() did not generate any warning when the recycling rule is violated and sep=="".
  • [BUGFIX] #170: setDataDirectory no longer called if our ICU src bundle is not used (this used to cause build problems on openSUSE).
  • [BUILD TIME] #169: ./configure now tries to switch to the "standard" C++ compiler if a C++11 one is not properly configured.
  • [BUILD TIME] configure.win (Biarch: TRUE) now mimics autoconf's AC_SUBST and AC_CONFIG_FILES so that the build process is now more similar across different platforms.
  • [NEW FEATURE] stri_info() now also gives information on which ICU4C is used (system or bundle).

Published by gagolews over 10 years ago

stringi - stringi_0.5-2

  • [NEW FUNCTIONS] #137: date-time formatting/parsing:
    • stri_timezone_list() - lists all known time zone identifiers
    • stri_timezone_set(), stri_timezone_get() - manage current default time zone
    • stri_timezone_info() - basic information on a given time zone
    • stri_datetime_symbols() - localizable date-time formatting data
    • stri_datetime_fstr() - convert a strptime-like format string to an ICU date/time format string
    • stri_datetime_format() - convert date/time to string
    • stri_datetime_parse() - convert string to date/time object
    • stri_datetime_create() - construct date-time objects from numeric representations
    • stri_datetime_now() - return current date-time
    • stri_datetime_fields() - get values for date-time fields
    • stri_datetime_add() - add specific number of date-time units to a date-time object
  • [BUGFIX] #168: Build now fails if icudt is not available.
  • [BACKWARD INCOMPABILITY] The second argument to stri_pad_*() has been renamed width.
  • [GENERAL] #69: stringi is now bundled with ICU4C 55.1.
  • [NEW FUNCTIONS] stri_extract_*_boundaries() extract text between text boundaries.
  • [NEW FUNCTION] #46: stri_trans_char() is a stringi-flavoured chartr() equivalent.
  • [NEW FUNCTION] #8: stri_width() approximates the width of a string in a more Unicodish fashion than nchar(..., "width")
  • [NEW FEATURE] #149: stri_pad() and stri_wrap() now by default bases on code point widths instead of the number of code points. Moreover, the default behavior of stri_wrap() is now such that it does not get rid of non-breaking, zero width, etc. spaces
  • [NEW FEATURE] #133: stri_wrap() silently allows for width <= 0 (for compatibility with strwrap()).
  • [NEW FEATURE] #139: stri_wrap() gained a new argument: whitespace_only.
  • [GENERAL] #144: Performance improvements in handling ASCII strings (these affect stri_sub(), stri_locate() and other string index-based operations)
  • [GENERAL] #143: Searching for short fixed patterns (stri_*_fixed()) now relies on the current libC's implementation of strchr() and strstr(). This is very fast e.g. on glibc utilizing the SSE2/3/4 instruction set.
  • [GENERAL] #141: a local copy of icudt*.zip may be used on package install; see the INSTALL file for more information.
  • [GENERAL] #165: the ./configure option --disable-icu-bundle forces the use of system ICU when building the package.
  • [BUGFIX] locale specifiers are now normalized in a more intelligent way: e.g. @calendar=gregorian expands to DEFAULT_LOCALE@calendar=gregorian.
  • [BUGFIX] #134: stri_extract_all_words() did not accept simplify=NA.
  • [BUGFIX] #132: incorrect behavior in stri_locate_regex() for matches of zero lengths
  • [BUGFIX] stringr/#73: stri_wrap() returned CHARSXP instead of STRSXP on empty string input with simplify=FALSE argument.
  • [BUGFIX] #164: libicu-dev usage used to fail on Ubuntu.
  • [BUGFIX] #135: C++11 is now used by default (see the INSTALL file, however) to build stringi from sources. This is because ICU4C uses the long long type which is not part of the C++98 standard.
  • [BUGFIX] #154: Dates and other objects with a custom class attribute were not coerced to the character type correctly.
  • [BUGFIX] Force ICU u_init() call on stringi dynlib load.
  • [BUGFIX] #157: many overfull hboxes in the package PDF manual has been corrected.

CHANGELOG: - [IMPORTANT CHANGE] n_max argument in stri_split_*() has been renamed n. - [IMPORTANT CHANGE] simplify=FALSE in stri_extract_all_*() and stri_split_*() now calls stri_list2matrix() with fill="". fill=NA_character_ may be obtained by using simplify=NA. - [IMPORTANT CHANGE, NEW FUNCTIONS] #120: stri_extract_words has been renamed stri_extract_all_words and stri_locate_boundaries - stri_locate_all_boundaries as well as stri_locate_words - stri_locate_all_words. New functions are now available: stri_locate_first_boundaries, stri_locate_last_boundaries, stri_locate_first_words, stri_locate_last_words, stri_extract_first_words, stri_extract_last_words. - [IMPORTANT CHANGE] #111: opts_regex, opts_collator, opts_fixed, and opts_brkiter can now be supplied individually via .... In other words, you may now simply call e.g. stri_detect_regex(str, pattern, case_insensitive=TRUE) instead of stri_detect_regex(str, pattern, opts_regex=stri_opts_regex(case_insensitive=TRUE)). - [NEW FEATURE] #110: Fixed pattern search engine's settings can now be supplied via opts_fixed argument in stri_*_fixed(), see stri_opts_fixed(). A simple (not suitable for natural language processing) yet very fast case_insensitive pattern matching can be performed now. stri_extract_*_fixed is again available. - [NEW FEATURE] #23: stri_extract_all_fixed, stri_count, and stri_locate_all_fixed may now also look for overlapping pattern matches, see ?stri_opts_fixed. - [NEW FEATURE] #129: stri_match_*_regex gained a cg_missing argument. - [NEW FEATURE] #117: stri_extract_all_*(), stri_locate_all_*(), stri_match_all_*() gained a new argument: omit_no_match. Setting it to TRUE makes these functions compatible with their stringr equivalents. - [NEW FEATURE] #118: stri_wrap() gained indent, exdent, initial, and prefix arguments. Moreover Knuth's dynamic word wrapping algorithm now assumes that the cost of printing the last line is zero, see #128. - [NEW FEATURE] #122: stri_subset() gained an omit_na argument. - [NEW FEATURE] stri_list2matrix() gained an n_min argument. - [NEW FEATURE] #126: stri_split() now is also able to act just like stringr::str_split_fixed(). - [NEW FEATURE] #119: stri_split_boundaries() now have n, tokens_only, and simplify arguments. Additionally, stri_extract_all_words() is now equipped with simplify arg. - [NEW FEATURE] #116: stri_paste() gained a new argument: ignore_null. Setting it to TRUE makes this function more compatible with paste(). - [NEW FEATURE] #114: stri_paste(): ignore_null arg has been added. - [OTHER] #123: useDynLib is used to speed up symbol look-up in the compiled dynamic library. - [BUGFIX] #94: Run-time errors on Solaris caused by setting -DU_DISABLE_RENAMING=1 -- memory allocation errors in i.a. ICU's UnicodeString. This setting also caused some ABSan sanity check failures within ICU code.
