softermax 0.3.0

Added “Exporting SoftMax Pro Data as XML” vignette
experiment_names, note_names, and plate_names now use vapply instead of sapply

softermax 0.2.4

read_softmax_xml: Added ... argument, passed to xml2::read_xml
read_softmax_template now has an encoding argument for specifying the file encoding. If guess is used, encoding is guessed.

Added read_softmax5_template
Added softermax, softermax.experiment, softermax.plate, softermax.note, softermax.wavelength, softermax.well, softermax.template constructors
Using new constructors in read_softmax5_xml, read_softmax6_xml, read_softmax5_template, and read_softmax6_template
as.data.frame functions: ReadMode can now be factors (the default behavior) via readModesAsFactors argument
read_softmax6_template: Sample field now always treated as character
Removed forcats dependency for package lightness

Added apply_template to annotate read data with experiment information stored in plate templates
Added ReadMode column to as.data.frame to better support multi-mode experiments
Fixed issue with as.data.frame where row.names were being set
read_softmax6_template no longer uses subset, which required NSE and produced warnings
Removed magrittr from Imports. No longer exporting pipe, which hasn’t been used for many versions.

Specific experiments, plates, etc. can now be accessed by name
as.data.frame functions: column order change in resulting data frames
as.data.frame functions: explicit row.names and optional parameters for compatability with generic
as.data.frame functions: using rbind to combine dfs, removing dplyr dependency.
Added experiment_names and plate_names functions to extract experiment names and plate names
read_softmax6_xml now warns if experiment contains multiple plates with the same name
Added read_softmax_template for importing plate templates
Added support for experiment Notes in SMP5 files

read_softmax_xml now returns a softermax object, which maintains more of the original data and metadata
- Added as.data.frame methods to coerce these objects to data frames
- Removed combine_plates which formerly served a similar purpose
read_softmax_xml automatically detects the version of the file given
Added support for SoftmaxPro 5.4 XML files. Thanks to Bryon Drown for providing sample files!
