Are we planing to release r2dii.plot in the (relatively) immediate future?

[jdhoffa]

I aim to close:
#357, #465, #536 and #540
ahead of this release.

[jdhoffa]

#357 , #465 , #536 and #540 have been closed.

@MonikaFu if you are comfortable with it, I will initiate a CRAN release next week. If you would prefer to wait until certain other issues are closed, please identify which issues!

:-)

[MonikaFu]

I'd like to issues #546 and #548 to be solved before the release. Currently some of the functions do not have adequate checks.

[jdhoffa]

@MonikaFu #546 and #548 have been closed.
Are we good to begin the release process here?

[MonikaFu]

Yup! I believe so 🚀

[jdhoffa]

@MonikaFu you should receive an e-mail with the results of devtools::check_win_devel() shortly

[jdhoffa]

I am skipping "Draft a Blog Post" because we don't have a blog.

[jdhoffa]

Heya @MonikaFu did you get the results of the devtools::check_win_devel() run? does everything look good?

[MonikaFu]

Sorry, forgot about it. Yes, looks good to me: https://win-builder.r-project.org/95U3FyBRgoxD/

There is one note but as far as I remember it is expected when you do a major update?

[jdhoffa]

Yup, that note is warning you that we have a development version number (e.g. X.Y.Z.9000), but that is expected :-)

[MonikaFu]

Ah right. About the version, in the issue it says usethis::use_version('minor'), shouldn't it be major though? As we are changing the API?

[jdhoffa]

Since we are still in v0.Y.Z we do not need to do a major bump! Only versions after 1.Y.Z require that.
But yes, in general, breaking changes would require a major bump

[jdhoffa]

All done! Thanks @MonikaFu

• version 0.4.0 on CRAN
• main bumped to development version 0.4.0.9000
