Rparadox 0.1.5
CRAN check Note fix
- remove incorrect CRAN link in Readme.
Rparadox 0.1.4
Cosmetic fixes
- Add misplaced picture link at Readme.Rmd.
- Add pxlib URL to DESCRIPTION file.
- Fix NEWS format.
Rparadox 0.1.3
New features
- Added a high-level read_paradox()function for a
simple, one-step workflow to read Paradox files. This is now the
recommended function for most users.
- Added a pxlib_metadata()function to retrieve database
metadata (number of records, field details, encoding) without reading
the entire dataset.
Bug fixes and improvements
- The architecture for handling character encodings has been
completely refactored. The C-level code now returns raw character data,
and all conversion to UTF-8 is handled reliably in R via the
stringipackage(ICU) instead of Riconv. This fixes test
failures on CRAN and improves robustness for files on various operating
systems.
- Added stringito package imports.
- Added extensive tests for the new read_paradox()andpxlib_metadata()functions.
- Documentation and examples have been updated to reflect the new
functions and recommended workflow.
Rparadox 0.1.2
Bug fixes and improvements
- Fixed CRAN check issues on Debian: package no longer attempts to
open Paradox files in write mode (rb+→rb).
This ensures full compliance with CRAN Policy (no writes outside of
temporary directories).
- Fixed heap-buffer-overflow in PX_get_data_alpha(discovered with AddressSanitizer). Now the function safely respects
field length and prevents out-of-bounds reads for fixed-length strings
without\0.
- Improved handling of invalid/null Paradox dates with an upper bound
filter for extreme values.
- Added proper .gitignoreentries forcran-comments.mdandCRAN-SUBMISSION.
- Updated README with CRAN badges and installation instructions.
- Expanded test coverage: re-enabled datasets with German, English and
Russian encodings, including CP866.
Rparadox 0.1.1
Bug fixes and improvements
- Fixed CRAN feedback:
- Removed unnecessary \dontrun{}in examples.
 Added fast, self-contained examples using demo files
 (biolife.db,of_cp866.dbininst/extdata).
 
- Ensured no commented-out example code remains.
- All examples now run in < 5s and without commented-out code.
 
- Fixed vignette build issue on CRAN check servers:
- Explicitly added rmarkdowninVignetteBuilder
 to avoid failures when running with--no-suggests.
 
- Memory management improvements:
- Fixed memory leaks in src/interface.c when reading BLOB fields.
- Examples and vignette now run cleanly under Valgrind.
 
- Verified that all examples run in < 5 sec and vignettes
build
 successfully across test environments.
