This is a patch release with mostly some critical bug fixes and a few minor changes in behavior for a few import and export methods.

User-visible changes

  • Export the get_ext() function. (#169)
  • import_list() gains improved file name handling. (#164, h/t Ruaridh Williamson)
  • Removed the overwrite argument from export() method for xlsx files. Instead, existing workbooks are always overwritten unless which is specified, in which case only the specified sheet (if it exists) is overwritten. If the file exists but the which sheet does not, the data are added as a new sheet to the existing workbook. (#156)
  • Import of files with the ambiguous .dat extension, which are typically text-delimited files, are now passed to data.table::fread() with a message. Export to the format remains unsupported. (#98, #155)
  • Added support for export to SAS XPORT format (via haven::write_xpt()). (#157)
  • Switched default import package for SAS XPORT format to haven::read_xpt() with a haven = FALSE toggle restoring the previous default behavior using foreign::read.xpt(). (#157)

Bug fixes

  • Removed longstanding warnings from the tests of export() to fixed-width format.
  • Fix a bug related to an xml2 bug (#168, h/t Jim Hester)
  • Fixed a bug in import() from compressed files wherein the which argument did not necessarily return the correct file if >=2 files in the compressed folder.
  • Tweak handling of export() to xlsx workbooks when which is specified. (#156)
