heatwaveR 1.0.0 (2026-10-19)

  • Final release: heatwaveR is now frozen, and active development continues in heatwave3
  • Bug fix: with joinAcrossGaps = TRUE, detect_event(), detect_event3(), and exceedance() no longer join the maxGap non-exceeding days at the end of a time series into the last event. These events now end on their last day above the threshold. This changes the date_end, duration, intensity metrics, and rate_decline of affected events
  • Bug fix: the seasons in category() now follow the meteorological seasons as documented (December to February is boreal winter and austral summer). Previously calendar quarters were used, so events that started, peaked, or ended in March, June, September, or December were labelled with the preceding season
  • Both fixes make the events and categories identical to those of heatwave3
  • Bug fix: category(season = "range") now labels each event by the number of seasons it touches, as documented (one season, “Winter/Spring” for two, “Winter-Summer” for three, “Year-round” for year-long+). The previous duration cut-offs returned NA for some events lasting roughly six to nine months
  • Bug fix: exceedance(below = TRUE) now returns negative rate_onset and rate_decline, as `detect_event(coldSpells = TRUE)
  • Bug fix: exceedance(roundRes = FALSE) no longer rounds the metrics to whole numbers
  • Bug fix: detect_event(categories = TRUE) no longer fails or returns no events when roundRes = FALSE or is greater than 4 decimal places
  • Bug fix: detect_event3() now uses minDuration2 and maxGap2 with threshClim2, and its climatology output keeps the input temp, seas, and thresh (previously negated for cold-spells, with missing temperatures replaced by seas)
  • Bug fix: ts2clm3(var = TRUE) now returns the same variance as ts2clm(), and no longer fails with smoothPercentile = FALSE
  • The unused categories argument of detect_event3() is now documented as such

heatwaveR 0.4.4.9000 (2020-07-30)

  • dplyr v1.0.0 no longer handles empty data.frames the same

    • It now forces them to logical type, so empty data.frames no longer unnest with normal results
    • This was fixed by having detect_event and category return single row NA data.frames instead

  • Thinking about phasing out data.table

heatwaveR 0.4.4 (2020-06-27)

  • Added roundRes argument to detect_event() to allow users to decide the rounding precision of the returned results

heatwaveR 0.4.2 (2019-12-10)

  • Minor change to ts2clm() that does not alter any functionality

heatwaveR 0.4.2 (2019-11-29)

  • Publishing new stable version to CRAN due to removal of tidyverse from the list of suggested packages and the important bug fixes to category()

heatwaveR 0.4.2 (2019-11-26)

  • Fixed bug in category() that incorrectly returned the difference between seas and thresh as the daily intensity value, rather than the actual temperature anomaly above seas

    • Also fixed the labelling of days below thresh as Moderate, they are now NA

  • category() now adds lower case letters to the ends of event names if there were multiple large events within the same year

    • This may cause backwards compatibility issues in very rare cases, but is a necessary change

  • Added roundVal argument to category() to allow users to decide the rounding precision of the returned results

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9004 (2019-11-23)

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9004 (2019-11-19)

  • Removed tidyverse from the list of suggested packages

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9003 (2019-11-03)

  • The potentially backward compatibility breaking design change to have empty data.frames returned as one row of NA values was not as rare of a problem as first thought
  • While still respecting the need to not use 1:n vector creation, detect_event() and category() now produce empty data.frames and not one row NA dataframe
  • This should ensure continued backwards compatibility

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9002 (2019-11-03)

  • A bug was discovered where the ts2clm() function does not first check that the time series being fed to it is in correct chronological order

    • This was fixed by ordering the data being fed to the function before beginning of the further calculations

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9001 (2019-10-30)

  • An update to data.table sometime in August, 2019 reduced the packages tolerance for code with 1:n in it

    • As this is a potential memory weakness, when this creates an empty vector in multicore calculations it causes the entire run to fall over
    • Therefore, all use of 1:n has been replaced with seq_len(n)
    • This changed the list outputs when no MHWs are detected to be one row of NA values, rather than an empty list
    • This may cause backward compatibility issues, but is extremely unlikely

heatwaveR 0.4.1.9000 (2019-10-26)

  • An update to the ggplot2 package some time back in August, 2019 changed slightly how Geoms work internally

    • This allowed geom_lolli() to fall over in very rare circumstances so this issue has been addressed

heatwaveR 0.4.1 (2019-09-09)

  • Updated the OISST Preparation vignette to match the improvements to the rerddap package

  • Also updated the vignette to be more clear to contact NOAA about data retrieval issues

  • Added season argument to category(), which allows the user to specify which season of the MHWs they are interested in:

    • ‘range’ - The beginning and ending season of the MHW
    • ‘start’ - The season during the start of the MHW
    • ‘peak’ - The season during the peak of the MHW
    • ‘end’ - The season during the end of the MHW

heatwaveR 0.4.0.9000 (2019-07-22)

  • Updated NOAA OISST data downloading tutorial to account for minor changes to NOAA ERDDAP servers

heatwaveR 0.3.6.9002 (2019-02-11)

  • Added n and n_gap arguments to geom_flame() to allow proper screening of heatspikes
  • These additions also propagate through to geom2trace.GeomFlame

heatwaveR 0.3.6.9001 (2019-01-28)

  • Added some additional options to event_line() to allow users to manipulate the output more without having to get into the source code.

heatwaveR 0.3.6.9000 (2019-01-23)

  • Added S3 object geom2trace.GeomFlame that now allows geom_flame() to be converted to an interactive plotly object via plotly::ggplotly()

heatwaveR 0.3.6 (2019-01-16)

  • Finished Alternative Thresholds (Complex Climatologies) vignette

heatwaveR 0.2.6.9001 (2018-05-24)

  • Moved all vignettes relating to the upcoming MHW_detection paper to that repo
  • This helps to unclutter this repo as it should be primarily kept for package content

heatwaveR 0.2.6.9000 (2018-05-23)

  • Added vignette that shows how tweaking arguments for detect changes the outputs between languages and how those outputs may differ
  • Changed output of detect_event to better match Python version
  • Corrections to testthat to match changes to detect_event output

heatwaveR 0.2.5.9003 (2018-05-22)

  • Added C++ function, clim_calc_ccp() for faster climatology calculations; speed of climatology calculation comes down from 50.6 ms in R to 3.4 ms in C++ on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB RAM computer

heatwaveR 0.2.4.9003 (2018-05-21)

heatwaveR 0.2.4.9002 (2018-05-17)

  • Take advantage of C++ speed enhancement in smooth_percentile() by using RcppRoll
  • Update testthat accordingly

heatwaveR 0.2.3.9002 (2018-05-17)

  • Basic R vs Python vignette finished

heatwaveR 0.2.3.9001 (2018-05-16)

  • Minor fix to testthat
  • codecov up to 100%
  • Fix to geom_lolli() n argument
  • Fix to lolli_plot() y-axis range
  • Minor fix to make_whole()
  • Skeleton of R vs Python vignette added

heatwaveR 0.2.3.9000 (2018-05-16)

  • Major speed-up in the climatology creation function. clim_spread() now returns a matrix, not a data frame. This makes the loop in clim_calc() much faster. In testing with the sst_WA data, it leads to a 3.7 fold speed improvement (520 ms down to 140 ms).
  • Speed-up of make_whole() (60 ms down to 40 ms)

heatwaveR 0.2.2.9000 (2018-05-15)

heatwaveR 0.2.1.9001 (2018-05-15)

  • Micro edits to documentation
  • Testing for all exported and internal functions brought up to speed
  • Ensuring that new ts2clm() and detect_event() pipeline returns the same results as the old make_whole() and detect() pipeline

heatwaveR 0.2.1.9000 (2018-05-14)

  • Phasing in identical names as in the python version
  • detect_event() now passing checks
  • Must still test for MCSs
  • The old detect() function was unpacked and simplified. Internal code is now in new functions, most of which will not be seen by the user. They are make_whole() proto_event(), clim_calc(), smooth_percentile(), clim_spread(), and ts2clm()
  • ts2clm() used instead of detect_clim()
  • Climatologies can now be calculated independently of the detect functionality
  • exceedance() function testthat checks updated to account for change in variable naming

heatwaveR 0.2.0.9000 (2018-05-11)

  • detect() has now been broken into detect_clim() and detect_event()
  • These now also rely on internal functions
  • The purpose of this is to create a family of functions that provide different options
  • New vignette on making short climatologies.

heatwaveR 0.1.0.9000 (2018-05-10)

  • One may now provide alternative baselines and climatologies to detect()

heatwaveR 0.0.7.9001 (2018-05-05)

heatwaveR 0.0.7.9000 (2018-05-04)

  • New category() function returns the category results for events
  • Still requires testing and improved event naming scheme

heatwaveR 0.0.6.9000 (2018-05-03)

  • Minor touch up to examples in geoms.R
  • First draft of heatwaveR hex logo added to site
  • Added category option to event_line()
  • Simplifications and consistency checks to detect()
  • Some writing on Baselines and climatology vignette

heatwaveR 0.0.5.9001 (2018-05-02)

  • Fix to event_line() not plotting MCSs correctly
  • Fix error with smooth_percentile and smooth_percentile_width descriptions that were interchanged in detect()
  • Simplify initial lines of leap year calculations (remove redundant code)
  • change from raster::quantile() to stats::quantile()

heatwaveR 0.0.5.9000 (2018-04-29)

  • Add option to use a custom baseline to detect() as requested by Maxime Marin (), The University of Tasmania (IMAS) – CSIRO (O&A), and which is present in the python version of the package

heatwaveR 0.0.4.9000 (2018-04-28)

  • Remove restriction to require full years for start/end points of climatology calculations in detect()
  • Documentation updated accordingly
  • Vignette on OISST data processing added

heatwaveR 0.0.3.9000 (2018-04-26)

  • Removed rlang dependency
  • Touch-up to block_average()
  • Tested make_whole()
  • Basic testing for other functions

heatwaveR 0.0.2.9000 (2018-04-25)

  • Established theme for changelog
  • Synced ganalytics
  • Fixed event_line() to acknowledge column names other than t and temp
  • Fixed lolli_plot() to use underlying geom_lolli()
  • Search bar now live
