versus (development version)

CRAN release: 2025-11-15

New table_id argument in compare() allows custom table identifiers. By default, outputs identify tables as “a” and “b”. You can now provide meaningful names e.g. compare(..., table_id = c("original", "updated")), which are reflected in the output of compare() and related functions. @elipousson
In the output of compare() with no table_id specified, the table summary compare()$tables uses “a” and “b” as identifiers for the table column rather than “table_a” and “table_b” as used in prior versions. This is for consistency with the case when custom ids are provided using the new table_id argument, so that compare()$tables$table always matches the table_id argument.
weave_diffs_wide() gains a suffix argument so column names in the wide output can use custom suffixes instead of _{table_id}. The default keeps the behaviour of prior versions. @elipousson

CRAN release: 2024-01-11

The compare() function now saves a shallow copy of the input tables. This means functions using a comparison, e.g. slice_diffs(), now only need the comparison argument, rather than requiring the original input tables to be re-supplied.
New functions weave_diffs_wide() an weave_diffs_long() are added, which show the differing values in context with other columns from the input tables.
A new function slice_unmatched() is added, used to get the rows from input tables a comparison shows as not existing in the other table

CRAN release: 2023-12-10

A new function slice_diffs_both() is added, used to get the differences from both input tables in a single output with the rows interleaved
The error message for duplicated by values now shows the row which is duplicated
Comparisons are now faster
