# reflectR NEWS

## Version 2.1.4

* Revised DESCRIPTION and package-level help for clarity.

## Version 2.1.3

* Added the 'na.rm' parameter to all functions for flexible handling of missing data. 
* Updated email contact information in the function documentation.

## Version 2.1.2

* Enhanced the response recognition pattern for item 1 of the Italian CRT-2 to include feminine declensions of correct responses.
* Revised the response recognition pattern for item 4 of the Italian CRT-2 to ensure that all numerical values (excluding zero) are recognized as impulsive responses.
* Expanded the response recognition pattern for item 4 of the English CRT-2 to include 'none', 'no', 'air', and 'void' as potential correct responses.
* Updated the DESCRIPTION to acknowledge the European STERHEOTYPES project for funding the data collection used for the initial manual multi-rater coding of CRT-2 items.

## Version 2.0.2

* Explained the acronym CRT (Cognitive Reflection Test) at its first mention in the DESCRIPTION file.
* Enclosed package name in single quotes in the DESCRIPTION to meet CRAN formatting guidelines.
* Included DOIs for all cited scientific references in the DESCRIPTION.

## Version 2.0.1

* Modified the package title in the DESCRIPTION to comply with CRAN policies, so that it does not start with the package name.

## Version 2.0.0

* Introduced automatic coding support for multiple versions of the Cognitive Reflection Test beyond the initial versions:
  - Added 'CRT4': Automatic coding for the 4-item Cognitive Reflection Test version.
  - Added 'CRT7': Automatic coding for the 7-item expanded Cognitive Reflection Test version.
  - Added 'CRTlong': Automatic coding for the Cognitive Reflection Test IRT-based long version.
* Improved response recognition patterns across all functions to better match theoretical definitions and observed data, trying to enhance the accuracy and reliability of response coding. 
* Updated documentation to include examples and detailed descriptions for the new functionalities introduced for all new CRT versions.
* Enhanced the user guide and examples to help researchers in using the coding capabilities for the different CRT versions.

## Version 1.1.0

* Added 'CRTtwo': automatic coding for Cognitive Reflection Test version 2 (Thomson & Oppenheimer, 2016), expanding the package to cover the English version following the initial Italian test.
* Improved error handling across the package to manage unusual or unexpected inputs and NAs, as well as different coding schemes and different items number.

## Version 1.0.0

* Launched the reflectR package with basic automatic coding capabilities for the Cognitive Reflection Test 2.
* Added 'itaCRTtwo': Initial test version for automatic coding of the Italian-language version of the Cognitive Reflection Test 2.
* Provided first documentation for all initial features.
