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.

                 Changes in version 0.2.1 (2024-06-19)

  - Complete deprecation of ald in favour of abcd (#399).

  - match_name gains argument join_id allowing an optional perfect join
    based on a mutual ID column between loanbook and abcd inputs, prior
    to attempting fuzzy matching (#135).

                 Changes in version 0.1.4 (2023-10-23)                  

  - to_alias can now handle strange encodings without error (#425,
    @kalashsinghal @Tilmon).

  - r2dii.match has transferred to a new organization
    https://github.com/RMI-PACTA/.

                 Changes in version 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).

  - Maintenance release.

                 Changes in version 0.0.7 (2020-12-03)

    stringdist::stringsim() (@evgeniadimi #310).

                 Changes in version 0.0.6 (2020-10-01)

    (#284).

  - Increment lifecycle badge to "Maturing".
  - The website's home page now thanks funders.
  - New article on using match_name() with large loanbooks.
  - The News tab of the website now shows all releases to date.

                 Changes in version 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).
