hetu 1.1.0

• Add summary method and plot methods for data.frames produced by hetu_diagnostic()
• Add support for the new century markers that were added in a Finnish government decree 8.7.2022/690 that amended another government decree 25.2.2010/128 ("Government Decree on the Population Information System").

hetu 1.0.7 (2022-05-21)

• subsetting-parameter (TRUE or FALSE) dropped from hetu_diagnostic() function as it was unnecessary syntactic sugar that was difficult to communicate to users. Similar functionalities can be easily achieved with standard subsetting functionalities found in base R and especially in tidyverse.
• satu_ctrl_char() parameter for printing whole SATU/FINUID-numbers is now called "print.full" instead of "complement".

hetu 1.0.6.9000

• Rewritten rpin() function for increased speed
• Added new function hetu_control_char() both for internal use in other functions as well as convenience (sometimes you know the rest of the identity code and just need to determine the control character)
• Added support for checking the validity of Finnish electronic Unique Identification Numbers (SATU / FINUID). Two new functions: satu_ctrl() and satu_ctrl_char(), the former works like hetu_ctrl() and the latter works like abovementioned hetu_control_char()
• hetu() table column name checksum changed to more descriptive ctrl.char. The change also affects related column names in hetu_diagnostic(). This is to illustrate the point that Finnish personal identity code has control characters (numbers and letters) instead of check digits.

hetu 1.0.3

• Implementing recommendations from goodpractice (whole package) and lintr (hetu.R) for better code legibility
• Renamed internal objects to make it easier to distinguish between user input (function arguments), internal objects used in intermediate steps and output names for the data table
• New function hetu_control_char() for easy calculation of control characters when birth date and personal numbers are already known

hetu 1.0.2

• Moving away from Travis CI to GitHub Actions
