This package version requires R > 4.0!
Updated surfaceexposure app now allows considering
multiple mu values when using the global fit functionality.
The filter did not work anymore after changes in
'shiny'; fixed.
The filter selector icons were deprecated, causing a warning in the terminal; fixed.
The app RCarb App did not work anymore after changes
in 'shiny'; fixed.
The app scalegamma started with an error message,
because one option for a chosen conversion factor was wrong;
fixed.
PREVIEW: New application that scales the gamma
dose rate considering layer-to-layer variations in soil radioactivity.
Base function: Luminescence::scale_GammaDose(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘scalegamma’.
NOTE: This application will only start if the
development version 0.9.x of the R package Luminescence is
installed as the function scale_GammaDose() is still under
development.
New application to support the new R package RCarb.
Base function RCarb::model_DoseRate(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘RCarb’
Removed and updated deprecated links from the “About”-tab in all applications.
New application that compares the OSL/IRSL stimulation power of
measurements performed on Freiberg Instruments lexsyg devices to check
the stability of the stimulation power (Contributed by Sebastian
Kreutzer). Keyword for app_RLum():
‘teststimulationpower’.
New application to calculate the fast ratio of CW-OSL curves
after Durcan and Duller (2011). Base function:
Luminescence::calc_FastRatio(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘fastratio’.
New application to estimate the g-value from a table of Lx/Tx
values with corresponding waiting times since irradiation and to apply a
fading after Huntley & Lamothe (2001). Base functions:
Luminescence::analyse_FadingMeasurement(),
Luminescence::calc_FadingCorr(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘fading’.
New application to fit eq. 1 of Sohbati et al. (2012a) or eq. 12
of Sohbati et al. (2012b) to OSL surface exposure data. Base function:
Luminescence::fit_SurfaceExposure(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘surfaceexposure’.
Output panel showing the R code to reproduce the plot/calculation is now properly responsive and updates as soon as input widgets change.
Internal: server logic of most applications simplified.
Several minor bugfixes.
Major overhaul of the data input panel for most applications.
Uploaded text files are now imported via ‘data.table::fread()’, which
automatically detects the delimiter and potential headers. Hence, all
widgets related to data import are no longer required and were removed
(#14).
The input data can now be directly manipulated in the newly added
spreadsheet(s) in the data input panels. The spreadsheets also allow
copy and pasting of data, so uploading a file is no longer the only way
to provide user data (#12).
New Dashboard addin added. The dashboard provides access to all available applications in the package and can be accessed either (i) through the addin dropdown menu in the RStudio IDE or (ii) by running ‘app_RLum()’ without any keyword.
Implemented newest shiny feature (v0.14) to bookmark the current app state. All apps now include a bookmark button, which returns a URL query string that can be used to restore the app’s state at any later time.
New application to plot filter combinations along with the
optional net transmission. Base function:
Luminescence::plot_FilterCombinations(). Keyword for
app_RLum(): ‘filter’. External contribution by Urs Tilmann
Wolpert (Justus-Liebig-University Giessen) and Sebastian Kreutzer
(Universite Bordeaux Montaigne).
New package dependencies: ‘shinydashboard’, ‘rhandsontable’, ‘data.table’, ‘readxl’
transformCW-app:
Internal: R dcoumentation re-written in Markdown using ‘roxygen2 >=6.0.0’
Several minor bugfixes.
New application to transform CW OSL curves (keyword ‘transformCW’) using the functions ‘CW2pHMi’, ‘CW2pLM’, ‘CW2pLMi’ and ‘CW2pPMi’ of the R package ‘Luminescence’.
Removed UI elements that used now deprecated function arguments.
Added new UI elements for arguments added to functions after version 0.4.2 of the ‘Luminescence’ package.
Removed the database feature in the abanico plot application.
Removed dependencies on ‘digest’ and ‘RCurl’.
Removed all ‘Exit’ buttons.
Code output to reproduce the plots is now generated dynamically and should be more reliable.
R Luminescence Package Team now properly mentioned as contributors.
Fixed many typos.
