selecta 0.6.0 (2026-06-17)

CRAN release: 2026-06-24

  • Enhance Graphviz (DOT) output for publication-quality figures. The DOT engine now renders full flow diagrams for complete feature parity with grid (default) outputs.
  • Add factorial (double-split) designs, with sub-arms grouped under their parent and the trunk centered over all leaves. Compatible with both grid and DOT outputs.
  • Add nested exclusion reasons, with each parent reason carrying its own named sub-reasons. Accessed by supplying a nested named vector (manual mode) or a reason/sub-reason column pair that is cross-tabulated automatically (data mode). Compatible with both grid and DOT outputs.
  • Rename the criteria parameter of exclude() and assess() to criterion. The singular reflects that each step defines one accountable exclusion with a single reason breakdown; compound conditions (&, |, !) remain supported.
  • Expand arithmetic checks. exclude() and assess() now warn when a reason column has no value for some removed rows—such rows are grouped under “Other”. Like the manual-flow arithmetic checks, this is advisory and toggleable via options(selecta.check_arithmetic).
  • Expand vignettes and gallery.

selecta 0.5.0 (2026-06-01)

  • Remove classify(). STARD diagrams now use stratify() on the index-test result with a per-arm endpoint(breakdown = ...) for the target-condition breakdown, matching the standard STARD layout.
  • cohorts() snapshot fields renamed: remaining to included and n_remaining to n_included, mirroring excluded/n_excluded.
  • Complete CRAN-compliant documentation for all exported functions, adding @details and @family sections alongside full @param, @return, @seealso, and @examples; non-executed examples now use \donttest rather than \dontrun.
  • DOT engine: source box and header colors now match the grid engine; fix multi-source header alignment; add orthogonal-edge and three-source examples.
  • Arithmetic checks for manual flows now also validate per-arm exclusion sub-reason totals; checks remain toggleable via options(selecta.check_arithmetic).
  • Performance: recdims() no longer issues drawing primitives when only measuring dimensions, and data-mode exclusions avoid materializing the excluded subset.
  • Expand vignettes and gallery.

selecta 0.4.0 (2026-05-26)

  • Phase boxes rework. Adaptive formatting for both overly long and multi-line phase labels, including toggleable soft-returns for the former and user-insertable hard-returns (\n) for the latter.
  • Add regional number formatting: US, EU, SI/ISO 31-0 standard, custom.
  • Refine vignette workflows and documentation.
  • Rename suggest_size() function to recdims().
  • Add logo.

selecta 0.3.0 (2026-03-14)

  • Add “split-and-recombine” topology, accessible through use of successive stratify() and combine() calls.
  • Add exclusion box formatting edits.
  • Make enhancements to classify() to ensure proper alignment.
  • Reorganize mock datasets with expanded documentation.
  • Update documentation headers.

selecta 0.2.1 (2026-03-12)

  • Add refinements to reason ordering.
  • Fix expr parameter expression handling.

selecta 0.2.0 (2026-03-04)

  • Add support for multi-source diagrams (PRISMA, MOOSE).
  • Improve rendering consistency and add specializations for “split” diagrams (CONSORT, STROBE).
  • New functions: sources(), combine(), assess(), classify(), stratify()/allocate(), suggest_size(), autoflow().
  • Multiple pipeline enhancements for exclude(), endpoint(), and stratify()/allocate().
  • Add font-scaled line spacing.
  • Add count-first display mode.
  • Add comprehensive testthat suite.
  • export_diagram() renamed to autodiagram().
  • exclude() default for show_count changed from TRUE to FALSE.
  • Add vectorization where possible for performance enhancements.

selecta 0.1.0 (2025-02-22)

  • Initial commit.
  • Core functions established.
  • First-draft README.
  • Basic CONSORT functionality, tested on 0-, 2-, and n-arm setups.
