    the package `progressr`, added a wrapper function for fast enabling
    progress bars, `enable_progress_bars()`
-   Introduced logging for issues in `HSC_population_size_estimate()` -
    signals eventual problems in computing estimates and why

## BUG FIXES AND MINOR CHANGES

-   Fixed minor bugs and typos

# ISAnalytics 1.7.3 (2022-06-17)

## BUG FIXES AND MINOR CHANGES

-   All functions that check for options now have a default value if
    option is not set
-   `CIS_grubbs` function is now faster (removed dependency from
    `psych::describe`)

## NEW

-   New functions `CIS_grubbs_overtime()` and associated plotting
    function `top_cis_overtime_heatmap()` to compute CIS_grubbs test
    over time

# ISAnalytics 1.7.2 (2022-05-23)

## BUG FIXES AND MINOR CHANGES

-   Fixed minor issues in `import_association_file()` - function had
    minor issues when importing \*.xlsx files and missing optional
    columns threw errors
-   Fixed bug in `as_sparse_matrix()` - function failed when trying to
    process an aggregated matrix

## NEW

-   Added 2 new utility functions `export_ISA_settings()` and
    `import_ISA_settings()` that allow a faster workflow setup

# ISAnalytics 1.7.1 (2022-05-04)

## BUG FIXES AND MINOR CHANGES

-   Fixed minor issue in `compute_near_integrations()` - function
    errored when `report_path` argument was set to `NULL`
-   Fixed dplyr warning in `integration_alluvial_plot()` internals
-   Fixed issue with report of VISPA2 stats - report failed due to minor
    error in rmd fragment
-   Internals of `remove_collisions()` use again dplyr internally for
    joining and grouping operations - needed because of performance
    issues with data.table
-   `fisher_scatterplot()` has 2 new arguments that allow the disabling
    of highlighting for some genes even if their p-value is under the
    threshold

# ISAnalytics 1.5.4 (2022-04-20)

## MAJOR CHANGES

-   ISAnalytics has now a new “dynamic vars system” to allow more
    flexibility on user inputs, view the dedicated vignette with
    `vignette("workflow_start", package="ISAnalytics")`
-   All package functions were reviewed to work properly with this
    system

## NEW FEATURES

-   `gene_frequency_fisher()` is a new function of the analysis family
    that allows the computation of Fisher’s exact test p-values on gene
    frequency - `fisher_scatterplot()` is the associated plotting
    function
-   `top_targeted_genes()` is a new function of the analysis family that
    produces the top n targeted genes based on the number of IS
-   `NGSdataExplorer()` is a newly implemented Shiny interface that
    allows the exploration and plotting of data
-   zipped examples were removed from the package to contain size. To
    compensate, the new function `generate_default_folder_structure()`
    generates the standard folder structure with package-included data
    on-demand
-   `transform_columns()` is a new utility function, also used
    internally by other exported functions, that allows arbitrary
    transformations on data frame columns

## MINOR CHANGES

-   `remove_collisions()` now has a dedicated parameter to specify how
    independent samples are identified
-   `compute_near_integration_sites()` now has a parameter called
    `additional_agg_lambda()` to allow aggregation of additional columns
-   `CIS_grubbs()` now signals if there are missing genes in the
    refgenes table and eventually returns them as a df
-   `outlier_filter()` is now able to take multiple tests in input and
    combine them with a given logic. It now also produces an HTML
    report.
-   Several functions now use data.table under the hood
-   Color of the strata containing IS below threshold can now be set in
    `integration_alluvial_plot()`

## BUG FIXES

-   Fixed a minor bug in `import_Vispa2_stats()` - function failed when
    passing `report_path = NULL`
-   Fixed minor issue in `circos_genomic_density()` when trying to use a
    pdf device

## DEPRECATED FUNCTIONS

## OTHER

-   The package has now a more complete and functional example data set
    for executable examples
-   Reworked documentation

# ISAnalytics 1.3.2 (2021-06-28)

## FIXES

-   Corrected issues in man pages

# ISAnalytics 1.3.1 (2021-06-24)

## NEW FUNCTIONALITY

-   `is_sharing` computes the sharing of IS between groups
-   `sharing_heatmap` allows visualization of sharing data through
    heatmaps
-   `integration_alluvial_plot` allows visualization of integration
    sites distribution in groups over time.
-   `top_abund_tableGrob` can be used in combination with the previous
    function or by itself to obtain a summary of top abundant
    integrations as an R graphic (tableGrob) object that can be combined
    with plots.

## MINOR UPDATES

-   Added more default stats functions to `default_stats`
-   Added optional automatic conversion of time points in months and
    years when importing association file
-   Minor fixes in `generate_Vispa2_launch_AF`

# ISAnalytics 1.1.11 (2021-05-11)

## NEW FUNCTIONALITY

-   `HSC_population_size_estimate` and `HSC_population_plot` allow
    estimates on hematopoietic stem cell population size
-   Importing of Vispa2 stats per pool now has a dedicated function,
    `import_Vispa2_stats`
-   `outlier_filter` and `outliers_by_pool_fragments` offer a mean to
    filter poorly represented samples based on custom outliers tests

## VISIBLE USER CHANGES

-   The argument `import_stats` of `aggregate_metadata` is officially
    deprecated in favor of `import_Vispa2_stats`
-   `aggregate_metadata` is now a lot more flexible on what operations
    can be performed on columns via the new argument
    `aggregating_functions`
-   `import_association_file` allows directly for the import of Vispa2
    stats and converts time points to months and years where not already
    present
-   File system alignment of `import_association_file` now produces 3
    separate columns for paths
-   `separate_quant_matrices` and `comparison_matrix` now do not require
    mandatory columns other than the quantifications - this allows for
    separation or joining also for aggregated matrices

## FIXES

-   Fixed a minor issue in `CIS_volcano_plot` that caused duplication of
    some labels if highlighted genes were provided in input

# ISAnalytics 1.1.10 (2021-04-08)

## FIXES

-   Fixed issue in `compute_near_integrations`: when provided
    recalibration map export path as a folder now the function works
    correctly and produces an automatically generated file name
-   Fixed issue in `aggregate_metadata`: now paths to folder that
    contains Vispa2 stats is looked up correctly. Also, VISPA2 stats
    columns are aggregated if found in the input data frame
    independently from the parameter `import_stats`.

## IMPROVEMENTS

-   `compute_abundance` can now take as input aggregated matrices and
    has additional parameters to offer more flexibility to the user.
    Major updates and improvements also on documentation and
    reproducible examples.
-   Major improvements in function `import_single_Vispa2Matrix`: import
    is now preferentially carried out using `data.table::fread` greatly
    speeding up the process - where not possible `readr::read_delim` is
    used instead
-   Major improvements in function `import_association_file`: greatly
    improved parsing precision (each column has a dedicated type),
    import report now signals parsing problems and their location and
    signals also problems in parsing dates. Report also includes
    potential problems in column names and signals missing data in
    important columns. Added also the possibility to give various file
    formats in input including `*.xls(x)` formats.
-   Function `top_integrations` can now take additional parameters to
    compute top n genes for each specified group
-   Removed faceting parameters in `CIS_volcano_plot` due to poor
    precision (easier to add faceting manually) and added parameters to
    return the data frame that generated the plot as an additional
    result. Also, it is now possible to specify a vector of gene names
    to highlight even if they’re not above the annotation threshold.

## MINOR

-   ISAnalytics website has improved graphic theme and has an additional
    button on the right that leads to the devel (or release) version of
    the website

    anymore if errors are thrown while producing or printing the widgets
-   Optimized widget printing for importing functions
-   If widgets can’t be printed and verbose option is active, reports
    are now displayed on console instead (needed for usage in
    environments that do not have access to a browser)
-   Other minor fixes (typos)
-   Bug fixes: fixed a few bugs in importing and recalibration functions
-   Minor fix in import_association_file file function: added multiple
    strings to be translated as NA
