Changes in version 2.1.0 (2025-01-31) - Fixed several bugs leading to too many threads being used. Be sure to set number of threads with "Sys.setenv("OMP_THREAD_LIMIT" = N)" to use more threads if you'd like. Changes in version 2.0.7 - Fixed error with stringdist receiving zero-length number of threads Changes in version 2.0.6 (2024-05-20) - Fixed documentation referencing "X" to be to the proper vignette - Fixed documentation referencing "wgt_jaccard_distance" that should be "wgt_jaccard_dist" - Fixed issue so that multivar_match warns when invalid compare_types are used - Fixed issue where wgt_jaccard_dist wasn't listed as a valid compare type - Fixed bug where 'difference' comparison method would assign wrong scores for negative numbers - Improved documentation around scoring for post-hoc matchscores Changes in version 2.0.5 (2021-11-22) - Fixed bug in build_tier_settings that didn't include sequential_words argument - Fixed bug where clean_strings wasn't removing the replacement words even if remove_words == T - Fixed bug where tier_match didn't work in some cases with fuzzy_match - Now exporting build_corpus to easily compute wgt_jaccard_distance - Added weighted jaccard distance option to compare_type in multivar matching Changes in version 2.0.4 (2021-10-28) - Added wgt_jaccard_distance to easily compute Weighted Jaccard Distances for two string vectors - Lowered R requirement to 3.5.3 - Added behavior to remove NA observations from exact matches, reinserting them into later tiers if necessary - Fixed bug in tier_match building 'nomatch' datasets incorrectly - Fixed bug in wgt_jaccard where inverse frequencies were not being logged. Changes in version 2.0.3 (2021-09-08) - Fixed STATE_FIPS to actually include FIPS codes - Changed the output column from 'multivar' matching to be called 'multivar_score' rather than 'matchscore', so as not to conflict with score_settings in merge_plus - Fixed bug in Weighted Jaccard scoring that would allow scores > 1 if the two names shared multiples of the same word Changes in version 2.0.2 (2021-08-03) - Fixed bugs in Weighted Jaccard code to run on MacOS environments Changes in version 2.0.1 - Fixed bugs in Makevars so that C++ code runs in parallel - Fixed bugs in tier_match that stopped matches from being removed in between tiers - Fixed bugs preventing the successful build on other platforms besides native Linux Changes in version 2.0.0 (2021-07-20) - Added full data.table functionality to dramatically increase speed - Added 'multivar' matching to match on multiple variables - Added capability to train a logit model and use the output - Added 'Weighted Jaccard' match to get better matches
