News for Package 'sylly'

hyphen(): fixed the automatic adjustment of hyph.max.token.length that was introduced with 0.1-1 but turned out to be broken, at least with R 4.x

sylly:::kRp.hyphen.calc(): replaced a for loop with apply(), almost twice as fast now (without caching)
hyphen(): optimized processing speed, saves ~75% if your time now
describe(): the generic now provides the dots argument ("...") to allow adding further arguments by different methods

session settings done with set.sylly.env() or queried by get.sylly.env() are no longer stored in an internal environment but the global .Options; this also allows for setting defaults in an .Rprofile file using options()
vignette is now in RMarkdown/HTML format; the SWeave/PDF version was dropped; it was also updated and has a new section on caching
sylly:::sylly_langpack(): updated the README.md template
sylly:::sylly_langpack(): removed "\dontrun{}" from generated example section
in the docs, improved the link format for classes, omitting the "-class" suffix

new functions available.sylly.lang() and install.sylly.lang() to comfortably install language packages
new class object contructors kRp_hyphen() and kRp_hyph_pat() can be used instead of new("kRp.hyphen", ...) etc.

set.hyph.support(): call optimize.hyph.pattern() on "kRp.hyph.pat" class objects to be added to the environment

added a short example to the code generated by sylly_langpack()
added l10n repository to DESCRIPTION to fetch now suggested language packages sylly.de, sylly.en, and sylly.es; it's clear now that language packages won't be released on CRAN, so a dedicated repo was set up to host those
updated the README.md file to mention releases both via CRAN (stable) and reaktanz.de (development)

initial release
show(): method now only truncates the mid section of samples larger than 15 words
all.patterns: this internal cache object is now dynamically generated when the package is loaded, which slows down the loading process but saves ~6.5MB in package size
hyph.max.token.length: this object was moved into the internal .sylly.env environment and also defaults to max token length of 50, not 200; that should be enough, is much faster and can also be changed dynamically (see set.sylly.env() below); manual changes shouldn't be needed, though, because the length is being adjusted automatically if needed; it was also renamed from hyph.max.word.length

sylly_langpack(): a private method to generate packages with additional language support. it shouldn't be needed by regular users and is therefore not exported
koRpus2sylly(): a private function to convert old koRpus object files into sylly equivalents
hyphen(): new option "as" to set the return value class, still defaults to "kRp.hyph", but can also be "data.frame" or "numeric"
new shortcut methods hyphen_df() and hyphen_c() use different defaults for "as"
read.hyph.pat(): now also reads from connections, e.g., url()
set.sylly.env(): now also supports "hyph.max.token.length" as an option to manually set the maximum token length, affects the private object "all.patterns" (will be regenerated)
