  There is no API changelog — Alamar publishes no web API. This is the dated release history
  of the first-party open-source NULISAseqR R package, the company's only public
  machine-installable software surface.
subject: NULISAseqR
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  current: 1.5.1
  current_date: '2026-05-04'
  tags: https://github.com/Alamar-Biosciences/NULISAseqR/tags
entries:
- version: 1.5.1
  date: '2026-05-04'
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - format_wide_to_long() renames user covariate columns that collide with reserved names
    (e.g. PlateID) by appending a _covar suffix, and emits a message when it does.
  - detectability_summary() and mergeNULISAseq() switched from do.call(rbind) to
    dplyr::bind_rows(), fixing crashes when plates carry mismatched XML schemas.
  - processXML() now uses is.na() rather than is.null() for XML attribute checks, fixing
    silent failures when attributes return NA.
  - User Guide updated for the Neuro 220 panel and noDetectability target behavior.
  - DESCRIPTION added XML and fields to Imports so dependencies install automatically.
- version: 1.5.0
  date: '2026-03-14'
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - loadNULISAseq() accepts a pre-built list structure as well as file paths, enabling
    reprocessing with sample exclusions without re-parsing XML.
  - New exported helpers get_reverse_curve_targets() and get_noDetectability_targets().
  - Reverse-curve targets fully excluded from detectability and labeled High Abundance;
    noDetectability targets get individual detectability but are excluded from summary stats.
  - detectability_summary() gained an exclude_targets parameter and returns numeric columns
    by default (format=FALSE) to preserve downstream computation.
  - Minimum R version now declared in DESCRIPTION (native pipe usage in lmNULISAseq.R).
- version: 1.4.2
  date: '2026-02-15'
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - render_QC_report() parameter reordering and defaults (xml_files moved first; defaults for
    output_filename, output_dir, dataDir).
  - lod() parameter ordering and roxygen documentation improved.
  - quantifiability() uses intersect() to find common samples, preventing errors on mismatched
    sample lists.
  - loadNULISAseq() now calculates LOD_pgmL from XML data for AQ assays.
- version: 1.4.1
  date: '2026-01-16'
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - importNULISAseq() robustness work, including validation of internal AUTO_PLATE IDs with
    duplicate detection before processing.
- version: 1.4.0
  date: '2026-01-11'
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - Described by the project as a major expansion — new analytical capabilities, enhanced
    visualization tools, and improved data processing functions.
