redcapAPI 1.3.5

• Bug fixes from @tobadia. (Issue #79)

redcapAPI 1.3.2

• Bug fix. Changed the call to fieldToVar in exportReports; was incorrectly referencing the meta_data field names. Thanks to Will Campbell for finding this bug.

redcapAPI 1.3.1

• Changed the default 'config' argument in 'redcapConnection' from 'config=list()' to 'config=httr::config()'.
• Added code to allow all errors from 'apiCall' to be returned correctly.

redcapAPI 1.3 (2015-03-14)

• The Maintainer has been changed to Stephen Lane
• Bug fix: The REDCap API Error message for 'exportEvents', 'exportArms', and 'exportMappings' changed between versions 5.x and 6.0. In 5.x, the error message is "You cannot export arms for classic projects." In 6.0+, it is "ERROR: You cannot export arms for classic projects." The change causes 'exportEvents', 'exportArms', and 'exportMappings' to cast an error instead of returning the character string with the error. The bug fix accommodates the error messages from both 5.x and 6.0+. ## Changes in Version 1.2 (2015-02-01)
• Code has been rewritten to make use of the 'roxygen2' documentation style.
• The function 'allocationTable' is added. This assists in producing allocation tables for the randomization module.
• Offline versions for 'exportRecords' and 'allocationTable' are included. These produce output identical to the API calls, but operate based on the csv's downloaded via the user interface. ## Changes in Version 1.1 (2014-10-01)
• redcapAPI now depends on R 3.0.0 or higher
• A bug fix was added. When specifying the 'fields' and 'forms' arguments in 'exportRecords', only the variables in 'fields' were being converted to the appropriate data types. This has been corrected.
• redcapAPI requires Hmisc 3.14-6 or higher. This is a consequence of the following item. Please update your Hmisc package.
• The Hmisc package was moved from the Suggests field to the Imports field. This reflects the addition of some of the label functions in Hmisc being explicitly exported, making them available to import. ## Changes in Version 1.0.1 (2014-10-20)
• Bug fix: in 'importRecords' meta data was not previously exported when a project info object was not provided. This is now corrected
• Bug fix: in ‘exportRecords' and 'exportReports', the checkbox labels weren’t being returned as factor levels when 'checkboxLabels=TRUE'. The behavior is now consistent with expectations.
• Bug fix: in 'compareRedcapVersion', a logical check was failing due to an omitted argument in 'grepl'. This has been corrected.
• added function ‘apiCall'. This wraps a call to 'tryCatch'. If a Gnu/TLS recv error is returned, the encoding is changed from ’gzip' to 'identity' to successfully retrieve the API response.
• 'tryCatch' calls are added to 'redcapProjectInfo' to prevent fatal errors when one of the API functions casts an error. The output is modified to indicate where the problem occurred. This is most likely to affect 'exportUsers'. An unresolved issue behind this is logged in the issues on GitHub.
