rurl 0.3.0

🚀 rurl - Release Notes (Version 0.3.0)

This release adds powerful URL cleaning features, improves parsing flexibility, and introduces utilities for comparing and joining datasets using URL permutations.

✨ New Features

• URL Case Handling
  safe_parse_url() and get_clean_url() now support a case_handling parameter ("lower", "upper", or "keep"), allowing control over output casing.

• Trailing Slash Control
  New trailing_slash_handling parameter lets users preserve, strip, or ignore trailing slashes for cleaner and more consistent URLs.

• URL Permutation Utility
  Added permute_url() to generate standardized variants of a URL (altering scheme, www prefix, and trailing slash). Useful for deduplication, comparison, and joins across inconsistent URL formats.

• Permutation-Based Joins
  Introduced permutation_join() to join two datasets by matching across all URL variants, helping align reports or datasets where URLs appear in differing forms.

🛠️ Enhancements

• Non-Standard Scheme Handling
  safe_parse_url() now better handles malformed schemes like htp:// when protocol_handling is configured, with improved status reporting.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Schemeless URLs with Ports
  Fixed incorrect NA returns for URLs like example.com:8080/path.

• Parsing Stability
  Reinforced fallback behavior when curl::curl_parse_url() fails, ensuring safe returns without downstream errors.
