v0.9.26 (CRAN)

Changes in version 0.9.26 (2024-11-18)

Removed functions

• Function calc_Kars2008() (deprecated since version 0.8.1) is now
  officially defunct, calc_Huntley2006() should be used instead
  (#252, fixed in #257).

Bugfixes

analyse_pIRIRSequence()

• The function crashed with a object merge error if run in a loop
  because of a merge_RLum() error. This was caused by a regression
  while implementing the n_N calculation in plot_GrowthCurve().
  Potentially affected was also analyse_SAR.CWOSL().
• The function now shows a warning and sets plot = FALSE when option
  plot.single = FALSE is set but the device size is too small. This
  should prevent “Figure margins too large” errors.
• The function will not crash anymore during the plotting in another
  edge case related to single grain data.

analyse_SAR.CWOSL()

• The function crashed for mixed set of RLum.Analysis-class objects
  typically observed for single grain data, e.g., one object contains
  only TL curves while all others contain the OSL/IRSL data from the
  grain. As the function filters those records automatically, it
  crashed because the aliquot number assignment internally relied on
  the length of the object (regression, #373, fixed)

analyse_SAR.TL()

• The function now produces a more correct rejection.criteria data
  frame (#245, fixed in #246).
• Several edge cases that led to crashes have been fixed (#147, fixed
  in #247).

get_RLum()

• When the function was used on a list of RLum.Analysis-class
  objects with the argument null.rm = TRUE it would remove all
  NULL objects, but not elements that became list() (empty list)
  during the selection; fixed.
• Fix an edge case that caused a rather non-expected, more visible
  output problem. When curves were selected via recordType on
  RLum.Analysis-class objects (or a list of them) containing only a
  single RLum.Data-class object, the function returned the
  RLum.Data.Curve-class object regardless of the selection in
  recordType. In other words: if a user tried recordType = "TL" on
  an RLum.Analysis-class object that contained only a single IRSL
  curve, the function would still return that single IRSL curve
  instead of an empty element. The reason for this behaviour was a
  poor attempt to deal with NA in the recordType name that led to
  missing values and unexpected behaviour for a logical comparison.
  Now, before the subset happens, NA values in recordType are
  converted to "NA" (a character), allowing us to fix the incorrect
  subsetting.

plot_RLum.Data.Spectrum()

• Add support for lphi and ltheta light direction arguments for
  plot.type = "persp".
• Fix the reason for the unclear warning In col.unique == col :
longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

write_R2BIN()

• Recently, non-ASCII characters in comments or file names have become
  more common and that led to crashes during the file export. To avoid
  this, now all non-ASCII characters are replaced by _ before
  writing them to the BIN/BINX files.
• The function now returns the file path of the export.
• Fix a bug that left connections open if the function crashed.

Internals

• Two new internal functions .throw_warning() and .throw_error()
  sometimes flushed the terminal with messages if called (internally)
  in particular circumstances. Now we maintain a stack of function
  names, so that at any time we can report correctly the name of the
  function where an error or a warning is thrown (#254, fixed in
  #256).
