Changes in version 0.3.3 (2026-11-03)                  

  - Faster loading of the bundled tables: removing empty worksheet rows
    is now vectorised instead of subsetting row by row. Output is
    identical; loading all tables is roughly 18 times faster, which
    brings the imed_validate() example and the test suite well under
    CRAN time limits.
  - Removed the unused gt package from Suggests.

                        Changes in version 0.3.2                        

  - Removed single quotes around acronyms in DESCRIPTION.
  - Added \value documentation (@return) to all exported functions.
  - Added small executable examples to all exported functions.

                        Changes in version 0.3.1                        

Integrity patch

  - Drops wholly empty worksheet-export rows at runtime; this removes
    one empty METHODS_QAQC row and one empty PROVENANCE row without
    changing scientific records.
  - Preserves both genuine ST0064 size-method observations while
    deterministically disambiguating the second runtime identifier as
    SZ0064-02; scientific content is unchanged and the frozen IMED v1.0
    workbook is not modified.
  - Adds regression tests for these release-representation defects.
  - Removes an unimported %>% dependency from grouped descriptive
    statistics.
  - Fixes imed_check_size_window() so it reads the actual
    Operational_Reporting_Cutoff_um column; previously the check for
    records with neither an analytical lower limit nor an operational
    cutoff did not run.
  - Documents all function arguments.
  - No scientific abundance, method, coordinate, comparability,
    provenance content, or HOLD decision is changed.

Validation status

The test suite passes (27 tests, 0 failures). R CMD check --as-cran
completed on win-builder (R 4.6.1, Windows) with no errors or warnings;
the only note was "New submission".
