Changes in version 1.2.1.9001                      

New features

  - Added default_chunk_templates_5: a new simplified template set for
    single crowd reports without mesos structure. Uses cleaner helper
    functions like get_fig_title_suffix_from_ggplot() for more
    streamlined code generation.

Code quality improvements

  - Improved code formatting and readability in .onLoad() function for
    better maintainability.
  - Updated template references in default_chunk_templates_4 for better
    consistency (using data instead of data_{.chapter_foldername}, added
    save = parameters$save parameter).
  - Better structured code blocks with consistent indentation and
    spacing.

                        Changes in version 1.2.1                        

Bug fixes

  - Fixed bug in setup_mesos() where an incorrect assignment to
    files_to_process was causing the search and replace functionality to
    fail.

                 Changes in version 1.2.0 (2025-11-12)                  

New features

  - Added file logging for excluded/ignored variables via log_file
    parameter in refine_chapter_overview(). All removal functions now
    log which variables/entries are excluded and why (all NA, low n,
    non-significant, no overlap, type mismatch).
  - Added detect_malformed_quarto_project(): exported function to
    diagnose malformed Quarto website projects (missing index.qmd,
    missing title in .qmd files, extensible for future checks).
  - New function check_variable_labels() to validate variable labels for
    saros compatibility.
  - New function sanitize_chr_vec for ensuring that character vectors
    are clean:
      - Normalized Unicode strings to NFC form.
      - Removed non-printable characters.
      - Replaced common encoding artifacts (e.g., ’ to ').
  - Added chunk template variant 4 (get_chunk_template_defaults(4)) for
    mesos reports using the new saros package functions
    crowd_plots_as_tabset() and txt_from_cat_mesos_plots(). This
    provides a more streamlined approach for generating mesos-specific
    plots and tables.

Performance improvements

  - Vectorized password lookup in refer_main_password_file() for better
    performance.

Bug fixes

  - Fixed critical sorting bug in refine_chapter_overview() where output
    was incorrectly sorted by variable labels instead of variable
    positions when using default arguments. The fix includes:
      - Corrected arrange_expr_producer() to properly name arrange
        expressions with column names instead of logical values.
      - Added ungrouping before sorting in
        arrange_arrangers_and_groups() to prevent grouped data from
        interfering with global sort order.
      - Made chapter reordering stable to preserve within-chapter
        sorting.
  - Fixed regex bugs in check_variable_labels().
  - Fixed tidyselect warnings in look_for_extended().
  - Improved robustness of setup_mesos().
  - Added validation checks for email and username columns in
    create_email_credentials().

Code quality improvements

  - Refactored long functions by extracting helper functions:
      - validate_refine_chapter_overview_args()
      - validate_draft_report_args()
      - create_mesos_stubs_from_main_files()
      - gen_qmd_file()
      - create_includes_content_path_df()
      - validate_chapter_structure()
      - look_for_extended()
      - process_yaml()
  - Removed broken and unused create_heading() function.
  - Removed commented-out and unused code.
  - Refactored convert_mesos_groups_to_df and its helper functions to
    ensure consistent handling of mesos_groups.
  - Added a clean_group_data internal helper function to:
      - Drop unused levels for factors.
      - Remove NA and blank strings.

Testing

  - Added 169 comprehensive tests across multiple modules (from 331
    to 500+ tests).
  - Added 16 tests for refine_chapter_overview().
  - Added comprehensive sorting tests in test-arrange2.R to verify
    position-based sorting with intentionally mismatched variable names,
    labels, and positions.
  - Added 27 tests for logging functionality.
  - Added tests for setup_mesos helper functions, utility functions,
    access restriction setup, and directory structure helpers.

Documentation

  - Added check_variable_labels() to pkgdown reference.
  - Added Copilot instructions for testing and git workflows.

                 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2025-06-01)                  

  - create_directory_structure() example does not create files and
    folders on disk to save time.
  - Templates for mesos output now include newlines between target and
    others. Thanks to Jon Furuholt for the suggestion.
  - draft_report() now has argument write_qmd to toggle the creation of
    qmd-files.
  - Attempted fix of internal arrange2 sorting function. Very hard to
    get right.

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2025-01-10)                  

Major changes

  - Total revision of the entire architecture for maximum flexibility,
    stability and performance.
  - Uses glue templates for creating chunks, see
    refine_chapter_structure().
  - draft_report()
  - Breaking changes for mesos setup, now uses setup_mesos() as well for
    creating stub files referring to a smaller set of main files created
    by draft_report().
  - Countless bugfixes.

Minor changes

  - Helper function remove_entry_from_sidebar() for post-processing
    HTML-files
  - Many more validations of arguments and better error messages.
