Changes in version 0.3.0 (2025-10-09)                  

New Features

  - Interface redesign with new convience functions:
      - use_duckdb() and close_duckdb() for database connection
        management
      - remove_duckdb() for cleanup and file removal
      - tbl_redcap() for creating table references with dplyr support
      - collect_labeled() and collect_labeled_list() for data with
        REDCap labels
      - collect_list() for splitting data into instrument-specific
        tables
      - list_to_env() for loading instruments into the global
        environment
      - metadata() and logs() for accessing stored metadata and transfer
        logs
      - inspect() for examining table structure for project data
      - save_parquet() for efficient data export
  - Add REDCap audit logs (redcap_log()) with configurable date ranges

Lifecycle Changes

  - Rename logs() to transfer_log()
  - Rename log_table_name parameter to transfer_log_table_name in
    redcap_to_db()
  - Rename redcap_uri parameter to url in redcap_to_db()
  - Rename verbose to echo in redcap_to_db() and change from logical to
    string options: "all" (default), "progress", or "none"
  - Add metadata_table_name parameter to redcap_to_db() for storing
    REDCap field definitions
  - Add redcap_log_table_name parameter to redcap_to_db() for
    customizing REDCap audit log table name and schema
  - Add redcap_log_begin_date and redcap_log_end_date parameters to
    redcap_to_db() for configurable REDCap log date ranges
  - Remove data export formatting parameters (raw_or_label,
    raw_or_label_headers, export_checkbox_label) in redcap_to_db() as
    labeling is now handled by collection functions
  - Import dplyr, dbplyr, duckdb, labelled, and rlang as new
    dependencies

Minor Improvements

  - Add S3 methods for dplyr verbs (filter, select, arrange, group_by)
    that preserve REDCap table attributes
  - Automatic record ID preservation across multiple instruments

                 Changes in version 0.2.0 (2025-05-14)                  

Lifecycle Changes

  - Rename redcap_to_duckdb() to redcap_to_db() and gain a conn argument
    to support any database connection
  - Return a list of processing data as an S3 object
    (redcap_transfer_result)

Patches

  - If log_table_name is NULL, then disable logging
  - Remove dependencies on beepr and utils
  - Remove optimize_types and use connection class to check if DuckDB
  - Remove return_duckdb to return TRUE (complete) or FALSE (incomplete)
  - Bump default max_retries from 3 to 10 retries
  - Add HTTP 504 transient error to retry
  - Rebrand hex logo

                 Changes in version 0.1.1 (2025-03-24)                  

First release of redquack on CRAN

Patches

  - Improve parameter names and defaults to align with the REDCap API
    (e.g., record_id_name = record_id)
  - Fix progress tracking messages and audio feedback for an improved
    user experience
  - Improve documentation and use consistent language

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

New features
