cataScience 2.1.4

CRAN release: 2026-10-06

  • Added three vignettes covering installation and launch, a reproducible data-quality workflow, and guidance for running a training session.
  • Added a pkgdown documentation website, linked from the package metadata and README, with a function reference and searchable articles.
  • Added a package hex logo based on the maintainer’s two cats, displayed in the README, website and vignettes.

cataScience 2.1.3

CRAN release: 2026-08-28

  • The markdown lesson pages are now rendered from text instead of from the file path. markdown::mark() (>= 2.0) rewrites an input file in place when it runs under R CMD check, which made the test suite fail on CRAN’s Debian machines where the installed package library is mounted read-only (and violated the CRAN policy against writing outside the session temp directory). Rendering from text writes nothing; the generated HTML is unchanged.

cataScience 2.1.2

CRAN release: 2026-07-30

  • Added a testthat test suite covering the app code that R CMD check cannot reach through the examples: the data-cleaning helpers (outlier detection, winsorizing, imputation, file import), the quiz and cleaning module servers via shiny::testServer(), the question bank, and a smoke test that builds the whole app UI.
  • The example of run_cata() now also runs outside an interactive session.
  • The outlier boxplot no longer warns about missing values while a dataset still has them.

cataScience 2.1.1

  • Images inside the markdown lesson pages now scale to the card width instead of being clipped (affected the Background tabs of the Visualize, Cleaning, and Import pages).
  • The app stylesheet link carries a cache-busting version query so browsers pick up styling changes after an update.
  • Resized one oversized bundled figure (9000 px wide) to 1800 px.

cataScience 2.1.0

  • First release: run_cata() launches the bundled “A Journey of Data Science” training app.
