<h2>Stable Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_stable.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The <a href="lifecycle.html">lifecycle</a> of this function is <strong>stable</strong>. In a stable function, major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments will be avoided.</p>
2022-03-10 19:33:25 +01:00
<p>If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. For example, an argument will be deprecated and first continue to work, but will emit a message informing you of the change. Next, typically after at least one newly released version on CRAN, the message will be transformed to an error.</p>
