News for Package 'sylly'

Changes in sylly version 0.1-7 (2026-02-01)

fixed

• docs were fixed, mostly replacing "\itemize" with "\describe". thanks to emanuel ciardullo for the pull request!

changed

• hyphen(): syll.distrib of the desc slot now fills up missing syllables with 0 values. thanks to jana ludwig for reporting bogus results of koRpus::SMOG() for texts with only multisyllable words. this led to discovering the issue!

• kRp.hyphen/kRp.hyph.pat: replaced prototype() in class definition with initialize methods

Changes in sylly version 0.1-6 (2020-09-19)

fixed

• 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

changed

• 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

Changes in sylly version 0.1-5 (2018-07-29)

fixed

• sylly:::sylly_langpack(): removed obsolete 'flattr_user' attribute

changed

• 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

added

• 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.

Changes in sylly version 0.1-4 (2018-01-06)

fixed

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

Changes in sylly version 0.1-3 (2017-10-02)

changed

• 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)

Changes in sylly version 0.1-2 (2017-09-12)

changed

• first CRAN release

• replaced status warnin in README.md with info on additional language support

• manage.hyph.pat() no longer orders patterns, which was rather useless

added

• unit tests for all main functions and methods

removed

• file ChangeLog_hyph_patterns.txt

Changes in sylly version 0.1-1 (2017-06-10)

changed

• 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

added

• 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)

removed

• all hyphenation patterns are now in their own package called syll.<lang>
