Complete deprecation of ald in favour of abcd (#399).
match_name gains argument join_id allowing an optional perfect join based on a mutual ID column between loanbook and abcd inputs, prior to attempting fuzzy matching (#135).
to_alias can now handle strange encodings without error (#425, @kalashsinghal @Tilmon).r2dii.match has transferred to a new organization https://github.com/RMI-PACTA/.abcd of match_name() supersedes the argument ald (#399).With options(r2dii.match.sector_classifications = own) users can inject their own sector_classififications instead of the default r2dii.data::sector_classifications. With this feature, user may or may not choose to request their sector_classifications to be added to r2dii.data. This feature is experimental and may be dropped and/or become a new argument to match_name() (#356 @georgeharris2deg @daisy-pacheco)`.
match_name() now errors if the column id_loan of the input loanbook has any duplicated value id_loan (@georgeharris2deg #349).
match_name() gains ... to pass additional arguments to stringdist::stringsim() (@evgeniadimi #310).prioritize() with 0-row input now returns the input untouched (#284).match_name(): Remove dependency on nest_by() from dplyr 1.0.0 (#303).match_name() with large loanbooks.match_name() now outputs a new column borderline (#258).crucial_lbk() helps select the minimum loanbook columns for match_name() to run (#236).match_name() now runs faster and uses less memory (@georgeharris2deg #214).match_name() now converts ald$sector to lower case before matching (@georgeharris2deg #257). It now returns identical output with, for example, either “POWER” or “power”. Notice that the input “POWER” in ald$sector becomes “power” in the column sector_ald of the output.match_name() now errors with a more informative message if loanbook has reserved columns – alias, rowid, or sector (#233).This version includes only internal changes.
