Package versions

Example: tidyr 1.3.0

Format: <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<dev>
Default: 0.0.0.9000
9000: package in development

Package version incrementing guidelines

Format: <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<dev>

dev: rarely changed, remove for release
patch: changed for bug fixes
- More bugs before functionality change
minor: small additional functionality added to package before initial release
- patch number reset to 0
major: package considered stable to release
- From 1.5.3 to 2.0.0 : old code could break

Not in development: 0.0.0.9000 -> 0.0.0
One bug fixed: 0.0.1
One more bug fixed: 0.0.2
Additional functionality: 0.1.0

Stable for release: 1.0.0
Big changes: 2.0.0

Update title, author, version, and description

Documenting a data file

use_r("temperature_data")

Edit R/temperature_data.R:

#' Temperature values and units
#'

#' Temperature values and corresponding unit (Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin)

#' @format Data frame with two columns and 1000 rows

#' \describe{
#' \item{value}{Numeric temperature value.}
#' \item{unit}{Temperature unit.}
#' }

#' @examples
#'   temperature_data

"temperature_data"

roxygenize()
