Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

datavolley 1.14.0

• reading a dvw file with no play-by-play data will now return a datavolley object with zero-row plays component, rather than throwing an error. This is consistent with the behaviour when reading a vsmm file with no play-by-play data
• various improvements for reading vsm files
• small improvements to text encoding detection, calculating home_score_start_of_point and visiting_score_start_of_point
• fix issue in dv_write for matches > 5 sets
• check for entirely missing sets in validation

datavolley 1.13.0

• various improvements for reading vsm files

datavolley 1.12.0

• if the dvw file being read has been populated with official match template data (i.e. an official federation match), use the match date information there to resolve the match data in the metadata section if it’s ambiguous

datavolley 1.11.0

• the dv_sync_video function now does not apply offsets by default - see the function documentation for details. To restore the previous behaviour use dv_sync_video(..., offsets = dv_sync_offsets()) but it is recommended to apply offsets in your video montage software, not during the sync process (hence the change to the default behaviour)
• small changes to the default sync timings
• fix an error in the line numbers returned by some validation checks

datavolley 1.10.0

• the validation step is now less strict when checking substitutions. Some files will change the players in the lineup on the line before (or in some cases, several lines before) the actual substitution code. By default these now won’t be flagged, so long as everything comes out consistent before the next rally starts. Strict checking can be re-enabled via dv_validate(..., validation_level = 3) or dv_read(..., extra_validation = 3)

datavolley 1.9.0

• substantial refactoring of how text encoding is detected, which should be more reliable (particularly for DV4 files)
• speed improvements to file reading

datavolley 1.7.4

• minor revisions to the dv_sync_video function

datavolley 1.7.3

• minor bugfixes

datavolley 1.7.1

• the evaluation string used for a set with a “/” evaluation code has been changed from “Error (reach over net)” to just “Error” for consistency with other skills (applies to files using VolleyMetrics conventions only)

datavolley 1.7.0

• fixes to support files using sideout scoring

datavolley 1.6.4

• add experimental video sync functions

datavolley 1.6.3

• remove dependence on enc package, which has been archived from CRAN
• enforce the start_coordinate column in meta$attacks table to be integer
• other small improvements

datavolley 1.6.0

• propagate player name changes (made via remap_player_names()) into first and last names in metadata (thanks @awosoga)
• added remap_player_info() function (thanks @awosoga)
• other small bugfixes

datavolley 1.5.0

• support for .vsm files

datavolley 1.3.5

Minor updates: - better detection of Cyrillic text encoding

datavolley 1.3.3

Minor updates: - initial setter assignments (at the start of each set) are no longer marked as substitutions - better handling of corrupted position coordinates in dvw files

datavolley 1.3.0

• the raster package has been shifted from Imports to Suggests, meaning that it won’t be installed by default. This only affects plotting of raster images (heatmaps) in base graphics. If you don’t have raster installed, it will prompt

datavolley 1.2.9

• convert colour columns to hex colour strings (previously integer-encoded)
• minor speed improvements when reading
• meta$winning_symbols is now a data frame

datavolley 1.2.3

• utilities to make files scouted by ClickNScout more useful
• optional xlim, ylim to ggcourt,
• add dv_find_to_flip_coordinates function

datavolley 1.2.0

• bug fix: actions scouted with an unknown player (denoted in the dvw file with player number “$$”) were previously being incorrectly parsed

datavolley 1.0.0

• cope with missing file metadata entries
• improvements for handling text encoding

datavolley 1.0.0

• fix dv_xy2zone to make serve zones equal widths
• add line_width to ggcourt

datavolley 0.16.0

• add dv_read_sq function
• improvements to match date parsing
• add columns for scores at start of point (home_score_start_of_point, visiting_score_start_of_point)
• trim whitespace from team and player names and IDs

datavolley 0.15.0

• minor bugfixes for rotation check, validation of peranavolley files
• ‘beach’ and ‘sand’ ggcourt options
• fix set number and sets_won in partially-scouted files

datavolley 0.14.0

• improvements to detecting text encoding
• minor bugfixes

datavolley 0.13.0

• adjustments to team_touch_id and phase to account for files in which only attacks have been scouted
• point_phase (this is the “Point/Side out” column in the DataVolley codes list window) and attack_phase (“Attack after reception/dig”) columns added to the play-by-play data
• dv_write function added
• additional fixes following the changes to text encoding handling in v0.12.0

datavolley 0.12.0

• substantial changes to the way that text encoding is handled, including guessing the correct encoding with read_dv(..., text_encoding = "guess"). Text encoding should work better now, particular on Windows
• added a date_format parameter to read_dv, so that the user can specify the preferred date format to use when dates are ambiguous
