Version 0.6

iRfcb 0.6.0

CRAN release: 2025-11-20

New features

• New functions for interacting with the IFCB Dashboard API: ifcb_download_dashboard_metadata() and ifcb_list_dashboard_bins().
• Added diatom_include parameter to ifcb_extract_biovolumes() and ifcb_summarize_biovolumes() for manually forcing specific taxa to be treated as diatoms (overrides WoRMS classification) (#65).
• Added bins parameter to ifcb_psd() for selecting which bins to process.
• Added fea_v parameter to ifcb_psd() for selecting feature-file version.
• Added use_plot_subfolders parameter to ifcb_psd() to optionally save plots in subdirectories of plot_folder based on flag status.
• Added flags parameter to ifcb_psd_plot() to optionally add the quality flag annotation to the plot.

Minor improvements and fixes

• ifcb_extract_biovolumes() now support both filename formats _fea_v*.csv and _features_v*.csv, increasing compatibility with legacy and new output formats (#61).
• ifcb_read_features(), ifcb_summarize_png_metadata(), ifcb_summarize_biovolumes(), and ifcb_extract_biovolumes() now include an optional parameter to select specific feature file versions (e.g., _v2, _v4), allowing finer control over which feature data are read and processed.
• The $data, $fits and $flags data frames returned by ifcb_psd() now use full bin names (<sample>_<ifcb>) as sample names, improving uniqueness and consistency with downstream workflows.
• The $data and $fits data frames returned by ifcb_psd() now preserves the original column names, including names starting with numbers or containing special characters.
• Problematic character µ returned from ifcb_psd() has been replaced by u in $data headers.
• Updated $flags headers in ifcb_psd() to use sample instead of file, ensuring consistent naming across all outputs.
• Reduced the size and resolution of saved plots in ifcb_psd() when plot_folder is specified, improving processing speed.
