nmslibR 1.0.7 (2023-02-01)
- I've added the include_query_data_row_index parameter to the Knn_Query() method of the NMSlib R6 Class and at the same time I added a deprecation warning for this parameter, because this method currently excludes by default the first output index and value. By setting the include_query_data_row_index to TRUE the first output index and value will be returned. This change will take effect in version 1.1.0 and the Knn_Query() method will return the first output index and value by default.
- I added the "save_data" parameter to the "save_Index()" method and the "load_data" parameter to the "initialize()" method of the 'NMSlib()' R6 class. I updated the documentation and references sections as well
- I've modified the DESCRIPTION and the package.R file by adding only comments related to a new configuration type in the reticulate R package (see: https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate/issues/883#issuecomment-775552812)
- I updated the Makevars and the .cpp files from C++11 to C++17 because I received the following NOTE during checking of the package: Specified C++11: please update to current default of C++17
- I updated the .Rbuildignore file to exclude the LICENSE.md file because it gives a NOTE during CRAN checking
nmslibR 1.0.6 (2021-09-11)
- I've added a 'packageStartupMessage' informing the user in case of the error 'attempt to apply non-function' that he/she has to use the 'reticulate::py_config()' before loading the package (in a new R session)
- I've updated the 'SystemRequirements' in the DESCRIPTION file
nmslibR 1.0.5 (2021-05-07)
- I updated the License in the DESCRIPTION file which as of '07-05-2021' will be Apache License Version 2.0. Therefore I removed also the COPYRIGHTS file from the 'inst' directory
- I removed LazyData from the DESCRIPTION file
- I added the CITATION file in the 'inst' directory
- I removed the 'zzz.R' file and the 'packageStartupMessage()'
nmslibR 1.0.4 (2020-03-08)
- I adjusted the output indices of the Knn_Query method (NMSlib R6 class) to account for the difference in indexing between R and Python ( reference : https://github.com/mlampros/nmslibR/issues/5 )
- I removed the dtype 'DOUBLE' parameter from the NMSlib R6 class, KernelKnn_nmslib and KernelKnnCV_nmslib functions (reference : https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib/commit/4d2937d6259aebb456db141ee0f3c2c465a51a8e )
- I replaced almost all web-links of the Python nmslib Package because the initial repository was moved to https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib
nmslibR 1.0.3 (2018-07-21)
I updated the README.md file and especially the installation instructions for all mentioned operating systems i.e. Linux, Macintosh, Windows (switch from python2 to python3 due to pybind11 issues).
nmslibR 1.0.2 (2018-05-10)
- The dgCMatrix_2scipy_sparse function was renamed to TO_scipy_sparse and now accepts either a dgCMatrix or a dgRMatrix as input. The appropriate format for the nmslibR package in case of sparse matrices is the dgRMatrix format (scipy.sparse.csr_matrix)
- I added an onload.R file to inform the users about the previous change [ related with the issue : https://github.com/mlampros/nmslibR/issues/1 ]
- I removed the utils.R file which included internal functions of the KernelKnn package. Rather than including the file I now use the getFromNamespace function of the utils package.
- Due to the previous changes I modified the Vignette and the tests too.
nmslibR 1.0.1 (2018-04-14)
- I commented the example(s) and test(s) related to the dgCMatrix_2scipy_sparse function [ if (Sys.info()["sysname"] != 'Darwin') ], because the scipy-sparse library on CRAN is not upgraded and the older version includes a bug (TypeError : could not interpret data type). This leads to an error on Macintosh Operating System ( reference : https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/5353 )
- I added links to the github repository (master repository, issues)
nmslibR 1.0.0 (2018-02-27)
