v0.2.3

NMdata 0.2.3

New Features

• New function, mergeCoal() is a coalesce-like merge
  function. mergeCoal(x,y,...) overwrites values in x with those in y, if
  not NA. This is a flexible way to edit multiple values in a data.frame
  through a single interface.

• NMreadParsText() supports formats including periods (.). There may still be
  some special characters that are not supported.

• NMrelate() supports models that don't have all of $THETA,
  $OMEGA, and $SIGMA sections.

Bugfixes

• NMcanInput (and downstream functions like NMscanData did not copy Nonmem
  columns ($INPUT elements like DV=OBS) correctly. It would not name the
  secondary column as expected (which is, if name it OBS if not used in other Nonmem
  column names, otherwise OBSX where X is an integer making OBSX a unique
  column name). Fixed.

• NMextractFormats() was failing to capture format definitions
  "format.omega" and "format.sigma" in control streams. Format
  definitions including tabulator characters would also create
  problems. A format definition is a comment documenting the format,
  like "format: %idx - %symbol". Fixed.

• NMrelate() did not consider the sections argument. It does now
  but with an important limitation: it can only be of lenght one. This
  is of minor importance since it is only needed in the special case
  that a parameter gets assigned to different variable names in
  different sections. Normally, leaving out the argument is fine.
