retrosheet 1.1.6

  • Updated format of documentation to pass CRAN checks
  • Updated getRetrosheet() to account for new paths on retrosheet.org
  • Updated two tests to account for changed location of All Star Team rosters

retrosheet 1.1.5

  • Updated tests to account for addition of All Star teams to Retrosheet data
  • Added checks to testing so it 'fails gracefully' when retrosheet.org is not available
  • Improved documentation in tests

retrosheet 1.1.4

  • Updated tests to skip Rmarkdown tests on CRAN. Avoids pandoc dependency issues on Solaris and MacOS CRAN package checks.

retrosheet 1.1.3

  • Updated tests to account for stringsAsFactors = FALSE
  • Switched to making requests via https to align with retrosheet.org changeover
  • Updated README.md to account for master to main change in repo

retrosheet 1.1.2

  • Replaced kludge-y closeAllConnections() with close() calls to specific connections (#1)
  • Added some rudimentary data cleanup to the get_retrosheet() wrapper function
    • Dates in retrosheet data now return date-types, everything else is converted from chr via the relatively aggressive type.convert()
  • Removed data.table dependency, replaced data.table::fread() with base::read.csv() calls
  • get_retrosheet() now returns regular old dataframes now, instead of tibbles.
  • Added better handling of HTTP requests. Failed requests are now retried up to three times via httr::RETRY()

retrosheet 1.1.1

  • Added get_retrosheet(), a wrapper for getRetrosheet() that takes the same arguments and returns the same data, except coercing matrices into tibbles.
  • Updated tests to account for more data being added to retrosheet.org (whoops)

retrosheet 1.1.0

  • Schedule scraping now expects a *.zip file instead of *.txt file, to accommodate change to retrosheet.org file structure
  • Added cache parameter to getRetrosheet(). This defaults to NA. If set to a local directory path, retrosheet data will be cached locally and re-used so as not to constantly download the same file from the retrosheet.org servers
  • Fixed parsing of substitutions in games where no substitutions occurred. This is a rare edge case.
  • Removed RCurl dependency (due to incompatibility with TLS > 1.0). Web data is now downloaded using httr functions
  • Removed XML dependency, replaced with xml2 and rvest
