Breaking changes

• match_name() gains a new argument in its signature, sector_classification, which is placed before the ... argument. Where users have used ... to pass additional unnamed arguments by position, they will need to update their code to pass these arguments by name so that they are not confused as an input to sector_classfication. The new argument sector_classification is optional and defaults to r2dii.data::sector_classifications. Explicitly passing a sector_classification to match_name(), enables users to use their own sector classification systems to match loan books to the abcd, assuming the sector_classification is mapped appropriately to PACTA sectors and has the same format as r2dii.data::sector_classifications. Own sector classifications can no longer be passed to match_name() via options.

r2dii.match 0.0.9 (2021-03-10)

• With options(r2dii.match.sector_classifications = own) users can inject their own sector_classififications instead of the default r2dii.data::sector_classifications. With this feature, user may or may not choose to request their sector_classifications to be added to r2dii.data. This feature is experimental and may be dropped and/or become a new argument to match_name() (#356 @georgeharris2deg @daisy-pacheco)`.

• match_name() now errors if the column id_loan of the input loanbook has any duplicated value id_loan (@georgeharris2deg #349).

r2dii.match 0.0.8 (2021-01-04)

• Maintenance release.

r2dii.match 0.0.7 (2020-12-03)

r2dii.match 0.0.5 (2020-09-11)

• Change license to MIT.
• Increment lifecycle badge to "Maturing".

r2dii.match 0.0.4 (2020-08-13)

• New article "Calculating matching coverage" (#264).
• match_name() now outputs a new column borderline (#258).
• New crucial_lbk() helps select the minimum loanbook columns for match_name() to run (#236).
• match_name() now runs faster and uses less memory (@georgeharris2deg #214).
• match_name() now converts ald$sector to lower case before matching (@georgeharris2deg #257). It now returns identical output with, for example, either "POWER" or "power". Notice that the input "POWER" in ald$sector becomes "power" in the column sector_ald of the output.
• match_name() now errors with a more informative message if loanbook has reserved columns -- alias, rowid, or sector (#233).
