CNVScope 2026-09-10

*Resubmission of 3.7.7, which was superseded in the CRAN queue before release. The package code is identical; only the version number and the submission comments differ.

*Fixed the "Rd files without \usage" NOTE reported by CRAN on r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang and -gcc. Eight roxygen blocks were separated from the functions they document by an intervening top-level globalVariables()/dontCheck() call, so roxygen2 attached the block to that call and emitted no \usage section. Those calls now precede their roxygen blocks, and the affected topics (CNVScopeserver, calcCNVKernelProbDist, downsample_genomic_matrix, formSampleMatrixFromRawGDCData, getBlockAverageMatrixFromBreakpoints, getInterchromosomalInteractivePlot, importBreakpointBed, rebinGenomicInteractions) document their usage again. *Documented the previously undocumented parallel and cnlabel arguments of formSampleMatrixFromRawGDCData(), which the restored \usage sections revealed. *Removed stray top-level test code from R/downsample_genomic_matrix.R that ran at package build time.

*Moved biomaRt and GenomicInteractions from Imports to Suggests, with requireNamespace() guards at their points of use. This removes the BiocFileCache dependency chain (RSQLite, dbplyr) from the package's strong dependencies, fixing the intermittent Windows install failures ("there is no package called 'RSQLite'" / "'dbplyr'") caused when those transitive dependencies were unavailable on a CRAN build machine.

CNVScope 2026-07-03

*Updated the maintainer email address to a working contact, as requested by CRAN.

CNVScope 2026-06-09

*Removed the HiCseg dependency, which was archived from CRAN. getAsymmetricBlockIndices() now defaults to algorithm="jointSeg"; HiCseg is still used where it is installed.

CNVScope 2022-08-12

*Updated NCI Policies on Server UI

CNVScope 2021-06-17

*Minor change to ensure compatibility with multiple datasets.

CNVScope 2021-05-19

*Require R-4.1.0 in order to make the package CRAN compliant (fixes a single rtracklayer check server install issue)

CNVScope 2021-05-14

*Following CRAN guidance, removed a command to close all connections after opening a file.

CNVScope 2021-01-07

*Bug fixes related to the suggested plotly dependency.

CNVScope 2021-01-05

*Moved the plotly package to suggests because it has been temporarily orphaned.

CNVScope 2021-01-04

*Made package check successfully without suggested dependencies.

CNVScope 2020-12-15

*Made conditional BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19 to improve OSX installation.

CNVScope 2020-12-14

*Made conditional InteractionSet to make OSX installation more seamless.

CNVScope 2020-11-28

*We have now added smoothie::kernel2d smooth as an alternative smoother to spatialfil (now disabled) and now our package should once again be CRAN ready.

CNVScope 2020-11-27

*With spatialfil removed from CRAN, we have disabled the spatialfil requirement to run the additional examples. *This algorithm is neat and we'll look at other ways to calculate interaction probability, but for the moment, we'll just disable things to keep the package on CRAN.

CNVScope 2020-8-14

*Fixed the gene search in the shiny application *Added gene listing for row and column genes to the left of the plot. **These gene data table outputs are searchable and the size is adjustable. *Disabled automatic switching to the sample data tab on click so that users can properly use the new gene column feature. *CRAN fixes to keep the package publicly available

CNVScope 2020-7-2

*Reduced imports to 20 and moved the remainder of packages into suggests. *Fixed whole genome map. *Optimized load time to plot a whole genome map (should be roughly a 50% reduction, according to profvis).

CNVScope 2019-12-7

*Removed Biostrings dependency to clear NOTE (although packages that CNVScope depends on require it). The prior Biostrings issue has been fixed.

CNVScope 2019-12-5

*Added an explicit dependency, Biostrings to keep CRAN check errors on debian from occurring. *Made a small fix to rebinGenomicInteractions, fixing a check at the end to handle a vector input **This will make the package compatible with R 4.0.

CNVScope 2019-10-23

*Removed all blockseg references in code. It was a nice feature to have a third algorithm, but blockseg will not be on CRAN shortly.

*Removed blockseg as a strong dependency, per CRAN.

CNVScope 2019-10-18

*Updated documentation (some new images have been added to show the effect of bin sizes and resolution). *Fixed a broken URL that was causing a CRAN note.

CNVScope 2019-10-12

*Updated documentation for finely binned matrices (see the input matrix vignette). *Several sizes of NBL whole genome matrices are available within the package (1e5,2.5e5,1e6,1e7,1e8). **These are for package use only. The HD matrices are not speed-optimal for app use. **Functionality of basic package functions remains the same as 2.7.2.5. *passes CRAN checks again with flying colors (no notes, warnings, or errors).

CNVScope 2019-09-21

*Added P-value filter *Added correlatoin options *Added additional app visualization options. *Added material on how to make higher resolution maps.

CNVScope 2019-07-19

*Minor changes to package dependency CNVScopePublicData.

CNVScope 2019-07-18

*Another minor cran fix to CNVScopeserver.

*Small changes to CNVScopeserver to fix a CRAN check.

CNVScope 2019-07-17

*Small changes to dependencies (including pwr package) and vignettes.

CNVScope 2019-07-16

*Minor fix to freadGDCfile documentation

CNVScope 2019-07-15

*More information about BLCA, SKCM, and AML in additional examples vignette **Their processed files have been placed within the package **These are available only on the github site as the CRAN size limitations forbid it. *Added the ability to specify chrM and chrY in formSampleMatrixFromRawGDCData function.
