Changelog

Add a copy_from method to the Bitset class.
Improve performance of bitset operations by making num_bits a compile-time constant expression.
Support vectors of logicals as an argument to filter_bitset.
Allow processes to be named, in order to produce more useful call stacks.

Allow events and variables to be added and removed when restoring the simulation.

Added a flag to the Event constructor to tweak the restore semantics.
Replaced the Bitset R6 class with named lists, making them faster to instantiate.
Replaced the bitset sampling implementation with a faster algorithm.
Various other performance improvements, mostly avoiding copies of vectors.

Simulation state can be saved and restored, allowing the simulation to be resumed.

Vector-based updates are consolidated into one place
Resizing memory bug fixed
Simplifed RaggedVariable instantiations to aliases until implementations are implemented

Check for bad bitset input when queueing updates to CategoricalVariable objects PR here
Add “bench” package to suggests and include benchmarking scripts of major functionality in tests/performance PR here
Update to latest version of “testthat” package so that C++ tests of IterableBitset object can be run without giving LTO check errors (see src/test-bitset.cpp)
Add CITATION file
Add method Bitset$clear to zero out all set bits in bitsets PR here
Fix bug (issue here) where DoubleVariable and IntegerVariable updates could change size of the variable object PR here

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Add Mac OS files to .gitignore
Update pkgdown reference organization.
Update R-CMD-check workflow.
Event.h now defines class methods outside of the class definition for easier readability, and add documentation.
TargetedEvent$schedule now dispatches to different C++ functions in event.cpp and Event.h depending on if input index is a bitset or vector (previous behavior used bitset’s $to_vector$ method in R to pass a vector).
test-event.R now only contains tests for Event class, new test file test-targetedevent.R contains a much updated suite of tests for the TargetedEvent class.
Fix bug where CategoricalVariable could be queued updates for indices in a vector that were outside the range of the population.
Update Bitset$not to operate in place. inplace = FALSE will be deprecated in 0.2.0
Rename the IterableBitset ~ operator to !

Added package logo.
Update DESCRIPTION and remove “reshape2” from suggested packages.
If given a Bitset for argument index, queue_update methods for IntegerVariable and DoubleVariable pass the bitset directly to the C++ functions integer_variable_queue_update_bitset and double_variable_queue_update_bitset rather than converting to vector and using vector methods.
CategoricalVariable.h, IntegerVariable.h, and DoubleVariable.h now define class methods outside of the class definition for easier readability, and add documentation.
CategoricalVariable, IntegerVariable, and DoubleVariable classes define a virtual destructor with default implementation.
get_index_of_set and get_size_of_set_vector methods for IntegerVariable now pass arguments by reference.
get_values method for IntegerVariable and DoubleVariable corrected to return value rather than reference.
add overload for get_values for IntegerVariable and DoubleVariable to accept std::vector<size_t> as argument rather than converting to bitset.
add function bitset_to_vector_internal to IterableBitset.h.
split testthat/test/test-variables.R into testthat/test/test-categoricalvariable.R, testthat/test/test-integervariable.R, and testthat/test/test-doublevariable.R
remove unnecessary #include statements from header files.
remove unnecessary comparisons for size_t types.
