# dyngen 1.1.1

* BUG FIX `wrap_dataset()`: Guard examples (`anndata`, `sce`, `seurat`, `dyno`) with `requireNamespace()` checks so CRAN tests do not fail when optional packages are unavailable.

# dyngen 1.1.0

* BREAKING CHANGE: Minimum R version bumped to 4.1.0. This enables use of the
  native pipe operator (`|>`) and lambda functions (`\(x) ...`) throughout.

* BUG FIX `get_timings()`: Use `reframe()` instead of `summarise()` to fix
  compatibility with dplyr >= 1.1.0.

* BUG FIX `bblego_linear()`: Fix broken pipe chain in `doublerep2` type that
  caused `backbone_bifurcating()` examples to fail.

* MINOR CHANGE `plot_simulation_expression()`: Move `ggrepel` from `Imports`
  to `Suggests`, falling back to `geom_text()` when `ggrepel` is not installed.
  This fixes installation on older R versions where `ggrepel >= 1.0.0`
  requires R >= 4.5.0.

* MINOR CHANGE: Replace `magrittr::%>%` with the native pipe `|>` throughout
  the package.

* MINOR CHANGE: Replace deprecated `dplyr::do()` with `reframe()` or
  `group_modify()` throughout the package.

* MINOR CHANGE: Replace deprecated `tidyr::gather()` and `dplyr::one_of()`
  with `tidyr::pivot_longer()` and `tidyselect::any_of()` respectively.

* MINOR CHANGE: Replace deprecated `ggplot2::aes_string()` with `aes()`
  throughout plotting functions.

* MINOR CHANGE: Replace deprecated `size` aesthetic with `linewidth` for line
  geoms, and use `scale_linewidth_manual()` accordingly.

* MINOR CHANGE: Remove internal ggforce `geom_edge_loop` workaround that is
  no longer needed since ggforce >= 0.5.0.

* MINOR CHANGE: Use `.data$` pronoun in data-masking contexts and bare names
  in tidyselect contexts, replacing the now-deprecated `.data$` usage in
  `select()` and `pull()` calls.

* DOCUMENTATION: Fix unescaped braces in `generate_kinetics()` Rd file.

* CITATION: Replace deprecated `citEntry()` with `bibentry()`.

* INFRASTRUCTURE: Update GitHub Actions workflows.

* INFRASTRUCTURE: Add `tidyselect` to `Imports`.

* DOCUMENTATION: Remove unused Docker vignette.

* MINOR CHANGE `as_anndata()`: Replace the `anndata` R package (Python-based) with
  `anndataR` (Bioconductor) for constructing AnnData objects. This removes the
  Python dependency from the `anndata` output format.

# dyngen 1.0.5

* MINOR CHANGE: Refactor matrix coercion thanks to Matrix 1.5-0.

* DOCUMENTATION: Remove comments from `generate_dataset()`.

* DOCUMENTATION: Extend usage of `wrap_dataset()`.

* DOCUMENTATION: Document outputs of `combine_models()` and `get_timings()`.

* BUG FIX `calculate_dimred()`: Force deep copy of matrix to avoid error message:
  "Error in x$.self$finalize() : attempt to apply non-function".

# dyngen 1.0.4

* BUG FIX `plot_feature_network()`: Added workaround for thomasp85/ggforce#273.

# dyngen 1.0.3

* BUG FIX `generate_experiment()`: Return timepoint groups for `experiment_synchronised()`.

* BUG FIX unit tests: loosen generate partitions constraints.

# dyngen 1.0.2

* MINOR CHANGE `generate_dataset()`: Fix subplot title.

* NEW FEATURE `plot_summary()`: Create a dedicated function for plotting a dyngen summary.

* BUG FIX `generate_cells()`: Fix incorrect cell count when one of the backbone segments does not have any simulations steps (#26).

* DOCUMENTATION: Update citation to NCOMMS publication.

# dyngen 1.0.1

* MINOR CHANGE `.download_cacheable_file()`: Check the return value of `utils::download.file()`, since it is possible that the download will fail with a non-zero status but not an R error. 

* MINOR CHANGE `kinetics_random_distributions()`: Add function for providing randomised distributions.

# dyngen 1.0.0

This version mostly upgrades dyngen's ease-of-use, such as better vignettes, conversion functions for working with dyngen datasets in other packages, and more useful ways of specifying platform-specific parameters (i.e. number of cores and cache location). Perhaps more excitingly, the dyngen documentation is more readable online at [https://dyngen.dynverse.org](https://dyngen.dynverse.org)!

## BREAKING CHANGES
* `wrap_dataset()`: Now returns a list instead of a dyno object. Use `as_dyno(model)` or `wrap_dataset(model, format = "dyno")` to replicate previous behaviour.

## NEW FEATURES

* Added functions for converting the dyngen output to various data formats: `as_anndata()` for anndata, `as_sce()` for SingleCellExperiment, `as_seurat()` for Seurat, `as_dyno()` for dyno, `as_list()` for a simple list object.

* `wrap_dataset()`: Added 'format' argument which allows choosing the output format (#28).

* The default number of cores used can be set by adding `options(Ncpus = ...)` to your Rprofile.

* The default cache folder for dyngen can be set by adding `options(dyngen_download_cache_dir = ...)` to your Rprofile.

* Combine similar models with different outputs using the `combine_models()` function.

* Store the timings throughout the dyngen execution. Extract the timings from a model using `get_timings()`.

## MAJOR CHANGES

* `generate_experiment()`: Map count density of reference dataset to simulation expression before sampling molecules. 
  Parameters are available for toggling off or on the mapping of the reference library size & CPM distribution.

## MINOR CHANGES

* `initialise_model()`: Change defaults of `num_cores` and `download_cache_dir`
  to `getOption("Ncpus")` and `getOption("dyngen_download_cache_dir")` respectively.
  
* `generate_experiment()`: Drastically speed up sampling of molecules.

## BUG FIX

* `as_dyno()`: Fix `drop = FALSE` bug when only one cell is being sampled.

* Removed names from feature ids in feature info (`unname(model$feature_info$feature_id)`). Thanks @milanmlft!

## DOCUMENTATION

* Added and extended vignettes:
  - Advanced: Simulating batch effects
  - Advanced: Simulating a knockout experiment
  - Advanced: Running dyngen from a docker container
  - Advanced: Constructing a custom backbone
  - Advanced: Tweaking parameters
  - Advanced: Comparison of characteristic features between dyngen and reference datasets

* Created a website at [https://dyngen.dynverse.org](https://dyngen.dynverse.org) using pkgdown.

* Shortened examples to reduce r cmd check time.

# dyngen 0.4.0

## MAJOR CHANGES

* `wrap_dataset()`: Outputted `$counts` now contains counts of both spliced and unspliced reads, whereas
  `$counts_unspliced` and `$counts_spliced` contains separated counts.
  
* Added a docker container containing the necessary code to run a dyngen simulation.
  
## MINOR CHANGES

* Added logo to package.

* Clean up internal code, mostly to satisfy R CMD check.

## DOCUMENTATION

* Added two vignettes.

* Expanded the README.

# dyngen 0.3.0 (2020-04-06)

## NEW FEATURES

* Implement knockdown / knockouts / overexpression experiments.

* Implement better single-cell regulatory activity by determining
  the effect on propensity values after knocking out a transcription factor.
  
* Implement adding noise to the kinetic params of individual simulations.

* Kinetics (transcription rate, translation rate, decay rate, ...) are 
  based on Schwannhausser et al. 2011.

* Changed many parameter names to better explain its purpose.

## MINOR CHANGES

* Fix module naming of backbones derived from `backbone_branching()`.

* Allow to plot labels in `plot_simulation_expression()`.

* Improve `backbone_disconnected()` and `backbone_converging()`.

* Rename required columns in `backbone()` input data.

* Use `backbone_linear()` to make `backbone_cyclic()` randomised.

* Added a decay rate for pre-mRNAs as well.

* Kinetics: redefine the decay rates in terms of the half-life of these molecules.

* Only compute dimred if desired.

* Allow computing the propensity ratios as ground-truth for rna velocity.

## BUG FIXES

* Implement fix for double positives in `bblego` backbones.

* Fix graph plotting mixup of interaction effects (up/down).

* Made a fix to the computation of `feature_info$max_protein`.


# dyngen 0.2.1 (2019-07-17)

* MAJOR CHANGES: Custom backbones can be defined using backbone lego pieces. See `?bblego` for more information.

* MAJOR CHANGES: Splicing reactions have been reworked to better reflect biology.

# dyngen 0.2.0 (2019-07-12)

Complete rewrite from `dyngen` from the bottom up.
 
* OPTIMISATION: All aspects of the pipeline have been optimised towards execution time and end-user usability.

* OPTIMISATION: `dyngen` 0.2.0 uses `gillespie` 0.2.0, which has also been rewritten entirely in `Rcpp`,
  thereby improving the speed significantly.
  
* OPTIMISATION: The transcription factor propensity functions have been refactored to make it much more 
  computationally efficient.
  
* OPTIMISATION: Mapping a simulation to the gold standard is more automised and less error-prone.

* FEATURE: A splicing step has been added to the chain of reaction events.

# dyngen 0.1.0 (2017-04-27)

 * INITIAL RELEASE: a package for generating synthetic single-cell data from regulatory networks.
   Key features are:
   
   - The cells undergo a dynamic process throughout the simulation.
   - Many different trajectory types are supported.
   - `dyngen` 0.1.0 uses `gillespie` 0.1.0, a clone of `GillespieSSA` that is much less
     error-prone and more efficient than `GillespieSSA`.

# dyngen 0.0.1 (2016-04-04)

 * Just a bunch of scripts on a repository, which creates random networks using `igraph` and 
   generates simple single-cell expression data using `GillespieSSA`.
