• Adds function to create sps setup files.
• Adds capacity for .sas reader to handle missing values.
• Adds a function for users to parse the setup file (.sps or .sas) and get results. An accompanying vignette explains this function.
• Adds a function to make your own .sps files (not .sas yet).

Minor Changes

• Adds option to not coerce potentially numeric columns into numeric type. Useful in cases like dealing with Census FIPS codes that have leading zeros.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes.
• Fixes bug when missing values are an interval (e.g. -1 thru -8).

• Adds capacity to the SPSS reader to handle Missing Values.
• Fixes bug where function fails if no value-labels are detected.
  • Applies both when setup file has no value-labels and if only select columns that have no value-labels.
