Changes in version 0.3.3.9000                      

Breaking changes

  - convert_jyear() and convert_jdate(): the default of legacy is
    changed from FALSE to TRUE (#60). The non-legacy ('ICU'-based) path
    can abort the R process on platforms where stringi is linked against
    system 'ICU' (e.g. macOS), and the failure cannot be caught from R.
    The legacy path based on lubridate is now the default, and the
    previous behaviour is opt-in via legacy = FALSE or
    options(zipangu.convert_jyear.legacy = FALSE) /
    options(zipangu.convert_jdate.legacy = FALSE).

Fix

  - separate_address(): handle NA patterns in stringr::str_remove() for
    compatibility with stringr 1.6.0 (@hadley, #59).

Enhancement

  - Declare R (>= 4.1.0) in Depends, reflecting use of the native pipe
    |> and the lambda shorthand \(x).
  - Internal code now consistently uses the native pipe |> (replacing
    magrittr %>%). The re-export of %>% is kept for backward
    compatibility.
  - dplyr::recode() (superseded) is replaced with
    dplyr::replace_values(). The minimum required version of dplyr is
    bumped to >= 1.2.0.

                 Changes in version 0.3.3 (2024-11-07)                  

Fix

  - Class mismatch in specification of argument legacy in
    convert_jdate() (#55).

Fix

  - is_jholiday() returns incorrect result if lubridate.week.start
    option is set to other than Sunday (@hidekoji, #40).

Enhancement

  - Find out the date of the specific month and weekday
