<h1>Lifecycles of Functions in the <code>AMR</code> Package</h1>
<small class="dont-index">Source: <a href="https://github.com/msberends/AMR/blob/HEAD/R/lifecycle.R" class="external-link"><code>R/lifecycle.R</code></a></small>
<div class="hidden name"><code>lifecycle.Rd</code></div>
</div>
<div class="ref-description">
<p>Functions in this <code>AMR</code> package are categorised using <a href="https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html" class="external-link">the lifecycle circle of the Tidyverse as found on www.tidyverse.org/lifecycle</a>.</p>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_tidyverse.svg" height="200" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
This page contains a section for every lifecycle (with text borrowed from the aforementioned Tidyverse website), so they can be used in the manual pages of the functions.</p>
</div>
<div id="experimental-lifecycle">
<h2>Experimental Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_experimental.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The lifecycle of this function is <strong>experimental</strong>. An experimental function is in early stages of development. The unlying code might be changing frequently. Experimental functions might be removed without deprecation, so you are generally best off waiting until a function is more mature before you use it in production code. Experimental functions are only available in development versions of this <code>AMR</code> package and will thus not be included in releases that are submitted to CRAN, since such functions have not yet matured enough.</p>
</div>
<div id="maturing-lifecycle">
<h2>Maturing Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_maturing.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The lifecycle of this function is <strong>maturing</strong>. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome <a href="https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues" class="external-link">to suggest changes at our repository</a> or <a href="AMR.html">write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')</a>.</p>
</div>
<div id="stable-lifecycle">
<h2>Stable Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_stable.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The lifecycle 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>
<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>
</div>
<div id="retired-lifecycle">
<h2>Retired Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_retired.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The lifecycle of this function is <strong>retired</strong>. A retired function is no longer under active development, and (if appropiate) a better alternative is available. No new arguments will be added, and only the most critical bugs will be fixed. In a future version, this function will be removed.</p>
</div>
<div id="questioning-lifecycle">
<h2>Questioning Lifecycle</h2>
<p><img src="figures/lifecycle_questioning.svg" style='margin-bottom:"5"'><br>
The lifecycle of this function is <strong>questioning</strong>. This function might be no longer be optimal approach, or is it questionable whether this function should be in this <code>AMR</code> package at all.</p>
