JAMES 1.7.0 (Nov 2024)

• Adds a target height indicator to height charts for ages 1–21 years and 0–21 years. The target height is calculated using the mid-parental height method described by Hermanussen and Cole (2004). This indicator is plotted at the age of 20.5 years and includes the 95% target height range.
• The calculation requires the heights of both biological parents (preferred) but can also be performed using only the mother’s height. The target height is adjusted based on the child’s sex and the population standard used for comparison. In the JAMES interface, the target height is automatically recalculated when the user selects a different population.
• Solves a problem with the incorrect labels in the centile strip on charts with the design E (0-4 years, weight for age).

JAMES 1.6.5

• Solves an issue for same-sex couples with two mothers or two fathers in BDS 63 field . The bdsreader 0.27.0 package returns the correct data for these cases. See growthcharts/bdsreader#10.
• Adds a inst/CITATION file for suggestion a citation to JAMES
• Changes the return value of version to conform to swagger documentation

james 1.6.4 (May 2024)

• Solves an issue where the week sliders for pre-terms were not properly initialized in the case that the child has no data for the first four years (#6)

james 1.6.3 (May 2024)

Automatic donordata selection

• Simplifies individual prediction by means of curve matching. The user needs to specify "now" and "future" age and the number of desired matches, and JAMES automatically select appropriate donor data based on the "future" age. This update resolves two issues related to choice and updating of the donordata menu. (#5, #31)

james 1.6.2 (May 2024)

Better chart initialisation

• When the data contain only developmental data, JAMES initialises to the D-score chart (#33)

james 1.6.1 (May 2024)

Administrative updates and workflow improvements

• Updates to R 4.4.0 and associated libraries
• Adds helper james:::update_version_files() to automate references to current version (#32)
• Adds a description of package update actions: qmd/deploy_JAMES.rmd
• Updates the GH workflow for package checking

v1.6.0

james 1.6.0 (Apr 2024)

Visible changes

• Changes the version number so that the JAMES package has the same version as the JAMES docker
• Updates to growthscreener 1.21.0, which changes weight for height criteria into weight-for-age
• Changes the definition and processing of BDS 71 (parental birth land) to provide a string with 4 digits (was numeric and integer previously) to conform to alphanumeric typology in BDS (updates to bdsreader 0.25.0)
• Introduces throttling of 3 sec for checkbox, sliders and radio buttons
• Resolves the WFH sequence problem when later height is shorter (#24)
• Added JAMES, version and copyright note to "Meldingen"
• Removed the superfluous header "GROEIDIAGRAMMEN" from the left panel
• Adds a check and warning if the stored OpenCPU session does not contain data created by read_bds()

More informative Meldingen panel

JAMES now writes on Meldingen for rq1 (james::convert_tgt_chartadvice()) and rq2 (james::draw_chart()):

1. The session ID
2. The ocpu.call from javascript to the R function
3. A summary of the response from R
4. If present: warnings from R
5. If present: messages from R

Note: The update of "Meldingen" when the call failed does always work, so it may be that "Meldingen" displays the results from the last functional call instead of the failed call. If the request failed, there will be a pop-up window with a stack trace from R.

Internal changes

• Updates javascript, HTML and CSS for clarity and efficiency
• Moves styling from index.html to main.css
• Removes allegro blend (#20)
• Returns txt, session and site in blend response as strings (#21)
• Transfers all event binding functionality from index.html into start.js
• Refactors JS code #26
• Updates all packages and renv to CRAN version March 2024

Bug fixes

• Fixes a bug during initialization of children > 4y (#29)
• Resolves Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'hgt_z_0' not found (#23)
• Solves issue #19 which appears when JAMES cannot find the child data.

Simplified update logic (failed)

• The JS call to update() (which draws the chart) is now removed from the call-back function of rq1. Thus, initialization of controls and drawing of charts are now done independently and in parallel. This removes a nested ocpu.call() call, thereby improveing performance.
• This change was undone in because controls were not properly updated.

• Removes allegro blend (#20)
• Returns txt, session and site in blend response as strings (#21)

Resolves R error when there are no data

Solves issue #19 which appears when JAMES cannot find the child data.

The JS call to update() (which draws the chart) is now removed from the call-back function of rq1. Thus, initialization of controls and drawing of charts are now done independently and in parallel. This removes a nested ocpu.call() call, thereby improveing performance. This change was undone in 1.5.6 because controls were not properly updated.

Cosmetic changes

• Added JAMES, version and copyright note to "Meldingen"
• Removed the superfluous header "GROEIDIAGRAMMEN" from the left panel
