dialr 0.3.0

New functions

• Retrieve carrier name with get_carrier() (#6).

• Add geocoding functions get_geocode() and get_timezone() (#5).

Minor changes

• get_example() returns an empty phone number if the provided type is invalid for the provided region (#8).

• phone() constructor now supports parsing phone numbers in international format without a default region by specifying NA or "" in the region argument (#4).

• get_type() gets a strict argument. If TRUE, invalid phone numbers return NA instead of "UNKNOWN".

• Rename “One shot methods” vignette to remove redundant “dialr”.

dialr 0.2.1

Performance improvements

Code calling libphonenumber methods via rJava has been tweaked for performance, including using more efficient rJava acess methods and caching commonly used static values. Most operations are now approx. 10 times faster.

Major changes

• Updated R dependency to R >= 3.2.3. R 3.6.0 just came out and highr, a dependency of knitr, requires >= 3.2.3 so build fails on 3.1.x.

Minor changes

• New introductory vignette("dialr").

• New is_match() function supports proper phone equality checks. == and != now use is_match() for phone vectors. (#1)

• More region and type functions implemented. See ?`dialr-region` or ?`dialr-type` for details.

• New get_example() function generates example phone numbers for provided regions and types.

• Improved function documentation.

dialr 0.2.0

Introduction of dialrjars

To separate libphonenumber updates from structural package updates, the libphonenumber jars have been split into the new package dialrjars. This is a breaking change, and dialrjars will need to be installed for dialr to continue to work.

Addition of the phone class

In addition to the one-shot phone processing functions, dialr now has a “phone” S3 class to reduce the processing load from re-parsing phone numbers for every operation. This is a fundamental package change with a full set of replacement functions, for details see ?phone.
