Changes in version 0.6.0 (2026-02-13)                  

New features

  - Rewrite fuzz() to use a backend based on the mirai package. This
    allows to parallelize computations and support a timeout to stop
    non-failing functions (#4).
  - Add the timeout argument to fuzz() to control the number of seconds
    to wait before interrupting the execution of a function being
    fuzzed.
  - Add the args argument to allow fuzzing multiple function arguments
    instead of only the first, with support for named and fixed
    arguments (#6, #7, #8).
  - Add support for what = NULL, which allows running the set of
    arguments listed in args with no modifications. This can be used
    after a fuzz run to collect results on just one set of problematic
    inputs.
  - Replace the show_all logical argument of print() with a show
    argument that accepts the class of results to be printed, any of
    "fail", "warn", "skip", "ok" or "all" (#9).

Updates

  - Use unicode symbols only on terminals that support UTF8, and respect
    the cli.unicode option, so that options(cli.unicode = FALSE) can be
    used to disable all unicode output.
  - Fix bug that caused failures in the +() operator to be whitelisted
    just because the + was interpreted as a regular expression
    quantifier.
  - Ignore deprecated functions by default in get_exported_functions().
  - Add more inputs to test_inputs(), bringing the total number of
    inputs from 60 to 70.
  - Move the NA inputs in test_inputs() from the "scalar" to the new
    "na" class.
  - Add the [[ operator to extract the results for a specific test
    input.
  - Stop exporting the namify() helper.

                 Changes in version 0.5.0 (2025-08-21)                  

  - Streamline the progress report from fuzz().
  - In case both an error and a warning are raised by the function being
    fuzzed, we now report the error; previously the warning was reported
    because of how tryCatch() is implemented.
  - The length() S3 method for objects of class cbtf now counts the
    total number of tests performed, instead of the number of inputs
    tested.
  - Add the tabulate argument to summary() to control whether the
    tabulation of results should be printed to the terminal or not.
  - Change the internal structure of the cbtf object to store the names
    of the functions fuzzed only once.
  - Store the values of the ignore_patterns and ignore_warnings options
    in the cbtf object.
  - Add the whitelist() function to remove false positives from a cbtf
    object.
  - Make test_input() recognise the "help" keyword, in which case it
    returns a vector of valid input classes.
  - Add the namify() function to help create a named list of custom
    input objects.

                 Changes in version 0.4.0 (2025-08-19)                  

  - Don't crash in get_exported_functions() if getNameSpaceExports()
    fails.
  - Store the error message in the results object also in case of
    whitelisted errors, so it can be reported from print(..., show_all =
    TRUE).
  - Add the tabulation shown in summary() as attribute "summary_table"
    of the data frame returned.
  - Make get_exported_functions() return only fuzzable functions, so
    that functions with no arguments are no longer returned.
  - Expand the documentation to satisfy the CRAN request.

                        Changes in version 0.3.0                        

  - Warnings containing the name of the function being fuzzed are no
    longer reported, to make their behaviour consistent with that of
    errors.
  - Add the package argument to fuzz() as an alternative and simpler way
    to specify the namespace where function names are searched.
  - Don't consider primitives (such as list() or +) to be functions with
    no arguments (#5).
  - Make the what argument to fuzz() accept a list of inputs, so that
    the function can test multiple inputs in the same run.
  - Add function test_inputs() to return a configurable list of
    problematic inputs.
  - Add the listify_what argument to fuzz() so that each input in what
    is also tested in its listified version.
  - Provide the S3 method for length().
  - Make the output from summary() more informative and include a column
    with the inputs tested in the data frame returned.

                        Changes in version 0.2.0                        

  - Return an object with the raw results from fuzz() and provide S3
    methods for summary() and print() (#1).
  - Skip functions that call readline(), as in an interactive session
    they stall waiting for user input (#4).
  - Skip non-existing function names and functions that accept no
    arguments.
  - Show a progress bar during fuzz().
  - Prettify the output from fuzz(), summary() and print().

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

  - First version of the package.
  - The package website is now available at
    https://mcol.github.io/caught-by-the-fuzz/
