vazul 1.2.0

CRAN release: 2026-09-04

2026-09-04

• New Feature: mask_names() gains a keep_suffixes parameter to preserve a fixed suffix (e.g. _r for reverse-scored items) verbatim in masked names, instead of masking it away. When multiple supplied suffixes match the same column, the longest match is kept and a warning reports the affected column(s).
• Behavior Change: mask_names() now sorts masked columns alphabetically by their masked name within their original positions, so column position no longer leaks which original variable a masked name refers to. Unmasked columns keep their original positions.
• Bug Fix: scramble_variables() now selects target columns by name instead of by numeric index, fixing a bug where a .groups column positioned before or between target columns could cause the wrong column to be scrambled.
• Validation: mask_names(), mask_variables(), and scramble_variables() now reject data frames with duplicate column names with a clear error, instead of relying on inconsistent errors from underlying dependencies.
• Documentation: Corrected the source citations for the williams and marp example datasets, and removed a placeholder OSF link.
• Update documentation and vignettes to reflect the new keep_suffixes parameter.

vazul 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2026-02-07

2026-02-06

• Breaking Change: Removed mask_variables_rowwise() as row-wise masking is methodologically inconsistent with analysis blinding.
• Breaking Change: scramble_variables_rowwise() is now internal. Its functionality has been consolidated into scramble_variables(..., .byrow = TRUE).
• API Improvement: Arguments in scramble_variables() and mask_variables() parameters now use leading dots (e.g., .groups, .together) to avoid naming conflicts with data columns.
• Update documentation, vignettes, and website to reflect changes in function names and parameters.
