v2.4.0

New features

  • labelled_spss() gains full vctrs support thanks to the hard work of @gorcha
    (#527, #534, #538, #557). This means that they should now work seamlessly
    in dplyr 1.0.0, tidyr 1.0.0 and other packages that use vctrs.

  • labelled() vectors are more permissive when concatenating; output labels
    will be a combination of the left-hand and the right-hand side, preferring
    values assigned to the left-hand side (#543).

  • Date-times are no longer forced to UTC, but instead converted to the
    equivalent UTC (#555). This should ensure that you see the same date-time
    in R and in Stata/SPSS/SAS.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

  • Updated to ReadStat 1.1.5. Most importantly this includes support for
    SAS binary compression.

  • as_factor(levels = "values") preserves values of unlabelled elements (#570).

  • labelled_spss() is a little stricter: it prevents na_range and na_value
    from containing missing values, and ensures that na_range is in the correct
    order (#574).

  • read_spss() now reads NA values and ranges of character variables (#409).

  • write_dta() now correctly writes tagged NAs (including tagged NAs in
    labels) (#583) and once again validates length of variables names (#485).

  • write_*() now validate file and variable metadata with ReadStat. This
    should prevent many invalid files from being written (#408). Additionally,
    validation failures now provide more details about the source of the problem
    (e.g. the column name of the problem) (#463).

  • write_sav(compress = FALSE) now uses SPSS bytecode compression instead of
    the rarely-used uncompressed mode. compress = TRUE continues to use the
    newer (and not universally supported, but more compact) zlib format
    (@oliverbock, #544).
