Updated Documentation

From a code perspective, this is identical to v1.7.2

The only significant change in this release is a change in documentation. Due to the package qdap no longer appearing on CRAN (at least at the time of this release), the documentation removes all references to the package, including comparisons of the qdap::mgsub function. Additionally, in an attempt to further lighten the package, the very minor performance comparison for the censoring function was removed so microbenchmark could be removed from the suggest as well.

These changes were necessitated by CRAN reaching out and requiring the removal of qdap from the suggests list.

v1.7.2

• There was a warning surfacing in newer versions of R around how certain functions were linked to in documentation. While not technically a bug, our CICD pipeline is setup to report those as errors. To ensure full compliance with CRAN Standards, the linking was updated.
• Very minor code refactor to apply linting standards to enable easier contribution, removed some superfulous lines.

New Censor Function

Detailed in NEWS.md

• Added the mgsub_censor function which enables fast, simultaneous censoring of patterns
• Trimmed unncessary logic and helper functions
• Added RNG Version control to the tests to support future versions of R.

First update to CRAN

Detailed in NEWS.md

• Slight improvement to algorithm speed
• Added support for NAs
• Added support for vectorized string input
• Depricated the dictionary method from the main mgsub call
