I’m very excited to announce the third release of {depigner}
(Lanera 2021) to CRAN, now in the version 0.8.4.
Pigna [pìn’n’a] is the Italian word for pine cone. In jargon, it is used to identify a task which is boring, banal, annoying, painful, frustrating and maybe even with a not so beautiful or rewarding result, just like the obstinate act of trying to challenge yourself in extracting pine nuts from a pine cone, provided that, in the end, you will find at least one inside it.
The {depigner} aims to provide some useful functions to be used to solve small everyday problems of coding or analyzing data with R. The hope is to provide solutions to that kind of small-little problems which would be normally solved using quick-and-dirty (ugly and maybe even wrong) patches.

Improvements
Added a
digitsoption totidy_summary()(with a default to3).Improved error messages for
adjust_p()whentidy_summary()is called withoutprtest = TRUEoption.
Bug fixes.
Update the README file (and project’s home page on GitHub too) has been updated making all the code visible (some of them was hidden, and some objects seamed to come from nowhere) (issue #39).
Fix an error in the examples provided in the documentation of
tidy_summary()(issue #38).Finally move
{rms}(Harrell, Jr. 2020) to IMPORTS (which was not set but required in the previous version).
Infrastructure
convert all implicit integers in explicit (e.g, 1L instead of 1).
convert all
$extraction in[[.Updated testing environment to
{testthat}3rd edition (Wickham 2021) (#32).
So, that is not a great update in term of new features, but it fixes some important bugs and issues, and restructure the internal implementation to be more robust.
