Description
The checklist R package has undergone significant evolution, with a major focus on flexible organisation management and improved quality control workflows.
The most substantial change is the introduction of the org_list and org_item classes (v0.5.0), which supersede the previous organisation class.
This redesign enables research groups to define and enforce their own institutional requirements.
The new system can enforce an Research Organization Registry (ROR) and license requirements for specific organisations and ORCID identifiers for their members.
new_org_list() helps you to create these custom organisation profiles interactively, with get_default_org_list() automatically detecting the appropriate profile based on git remotes.
Additional enhancements include improved Zenodo integration with publisher information and EU grant IDs for better research tracking, expanded support for renv-based reproducible environments in GitHub Actions, and enhanced quarto compatibility.
The package now handles author affiliations with multiple institutional memberships and provides create_draft_pr() for streamlined GitHub collaboration workflows.
Quality control has been strengthened through check_cran() displaying full test outputs, automatic dependency installation in CI/CD pipelines, and better handling of git configuration issues.
