# mlr3 1.8.0

* feat: Added `msr("best_valid_score")` (`mlr_measures_best_valid_score`), which reports the *best* internal validation score observed during training/
* feat: Added the `diabetes` task (`mlr_tasks_diabetes`) for the synthetic `mlbench::SynthDiabetes2` data set, which has the same structure as the former `pima` task including missing values, for use in examples and tests.
* BREAKING CHANGE: Removed the `pima` task (`mlr_tasks_pima`) because the `PimaIndiansDiabetes2` data set was removed from the `mlbench` package, use `tsk("diabetes")` instead.
* perf: `TaskClassif$print()` now caches the class distribution of the target column and only recomputes it when the task hash changes.
  Querying the target column can be slow for tasks with many rows.

# mlr3 1.7.1

* fix: `Learner$new()` and the `$deadline` setter now pass `origin` to `as.POSIXct()`, fixing learner construction and numeric deadline assignment on R versions below 4.3.
* fix: The `Learner$deadline` setter now merges partial assignments instead of overwriting the whole field and validates the input as a named `POSIXct`, so setting only `train` or `predict` no longer drops the other entry or crashes at predict time.
* fix: `Learner$predict_newdata_fast()` now restores the fallback learner's state and predict type from the main learner before delegating, so it works after `resample()` and `benchmark()` where the fallback object itself carries no trained state or a mismatched predict type.
It also aligns the fallback's probability columns by class name so imputed predictions are no longer silently misassigned.
* fix: `Learner$predict_newdata_fast()` now raises a clear error when the learner has not been trained yet instead of failing with a cryptic error from the underlying predict method.

# mlr3 1.7.0

* fix: Reset range of `MeasureClassifCost`.
* fix: `MeasureClassifSimple` and `MeasureRegrSimple` now forward their hyperparameter values to the underlying scoring function instead of ignoring them.
* fix: `mlr_measures_regr.aic` now accepts non-integer values for `k` by changing the parameter from an integer to a double.
* fix: `MeasureRegrPinball` now declares the `"weights"` property and forwards sample weights to the underlying scoring function.
* fix: `MeasureSimilarity$new()` no longer accepts the silently ignored `average` argument.
* fix: `ResamplingCustom` and `ResamplingCustomCV` now invalidate the cached `$hash` on re-instantiation.
* fix: `Task$hash` is now read-only.
* fix: `TaskClassif$droplevels()` now forwards the `cols` argument to the parent method instead of dropping levels on all columns.
* fix: The predict path now raises a learner-predict error instead of a learner-train error.
* fix: Validation of the weights columns now uses the backend row names instead of a row sequence, fixing checks on tasks with non-contiguous row ids.

# mlr3 1.6.0

* feat: `Learner` gains a `predict_raw` flag and `Prediction` gains a `raw` field to store the raw prediction object from the upstream model alongside standardized predictions.
* fix: IDs containing `%` (e.g., from `deparse1(substitute(x))` with pipe expressions) now produce a clear error instead of causing cryptic `sprintf` failures downstream (#1461).
* fix: `Learner$predict_newdata()` now preserves the target's factor level ordering from training, fixing inverted probabilities for binary classification when the positive class was not the first alphabetical level (#1459).

* perf: Use `data.table::setattr()` for less copying.

# mlr3 1.0.0

* BREAKING CHANGE: The mlr3 ecosystem has a base logger now which is named `mlr3`.
  The `mlr3/core` logger is a child of the `mlr3` logger and is used for logging messages from the `mlr3` package.
  Some extension packages have their own loggers which are children of the mlr3 logger e.g. mlr3/mlr3pipelines and mlr3/bbotk for tuning.
* BREAKING CHANGE: `weights` property and functionality is split into `weights_learner` and `weights_measure`:

  * `weights_learner`: Weights used during training by the Learner.

* Refactored the task types in `mlr_reflections`.


# mlr3 0.13.4

* Added new options for parallelization (`"mlr3.exec_random"` and
  `"mlr3.exec_chunk_size"`). These options are passed down to the respective map
  functions in package `future.apply`.
* Fixed runtime measures depending on specific predict types (#832).
* Added `head()` and `tail()` methods for `Task`.
* Improved printing of multiple objects.


# mlr3 0.13.3

* Most objects now have a new (optional) field `label`, i.e. `Task`,
  `TaskGenerator`, `Learner`, `Resampling`, and `Measure`.
* `as.data.table()` methods for objects of class `Dictionary` have been extended
  with additional columns.
* `as_task_classif.formula()` and `as_task_regr.formula()` now remove additional
  attributes attached to the data which caused some learners to break.
* Packages are now loaded prior to calling the `$train()` and `$predict()`
  methods of a `Learner`. This ensures that package loading errors are properly
  propagated and not affected by encapsulation (#771).


# mlr3 0.13.2

* Setting a fallback learner for a learner with encapsulation in its default
  settings now automatically sets encapsulation to `"evaluate"` (#763).
* `as_task_classif()` and `as_task_regr()` now support the construction of tasks
  using the formula interface, e.g. `as_task_regr(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars)`
  (#761).
* Added `default_values()` function to extract parameter default values from
  `Learner` objects.
* The row role `"validation"` has been renamed to `"holdout"`.
  In the next release, `mlr3` will start switching to the now more common terms
  `"train"`/`"validation"` instead of `"train"`/`"test"` for the sets created
  during resampling.


# mlr3 0.13.1

* Improved performance for many operations on `ResampleResult` and
  `BenchmarkResult`.
* `resample()` and `benchmark()` got a new argument `clone` to control which
  objects to clone before performing computations.
* Tasks are checked for infinite values during the conversion from `data.frame`
  to `Task` in `as_task_classif()` and `as_task_regr()`. A warning is signaled
  if any column contains infinite values.

# mlr3 0.13.0

* Learners which are capable of resuming/continuing (e.g.,
  learner `(classif|regr|surv).xgboost` with hyperparameter `nrounds` updated)
  can now optionally store a stack of trained learners to be used to hotstart
  their training. Note that this feature is still somewhat experimental.
  See `HotstartStack` and #719.
* New measures to score similarity of selected feature sets:
  `sim.jaccard` (Jaccard Index) and `sim.phi` (Phi coefficient) (#690).
* `predict_newdata()` now also supports `DataBackend` as input.
* New function `install_pkgs()` to install required packages. This generic works
  for all objects with a `packages` field as well as `ResampleResult` and
  `BenchmarkResult` (#728).
* New learner `regr.debug` for debugging.
* New `Task` method `$set_levels()` to control how data with factor columns
  is returned, independent of the used `DataBackend`.
* Measures now return `NA` if prerequisite are not met (#699).
  This allows to conveniently score your experiments with  multiple measures
  having different requirements.
* Feature names may no longer contain the special character `%`.

# mlr3 0.12.0

* New method to assign labels to columns in tasks: `Task$label()`.
  These will be used in visualizations in the future.
* New method to add stratification variables: `Task$add_strata()`.
* New helper function `partition()` to split a task into a training and test
  set.
* New standardized getter `loglik()` for class `Learner`.
* New measures `"aic"` and `"bic"` to compute the Akaike Information Criterion
  or the Bayesian Information Criterion, respectively.
* New Resampling method: `ResamplingCustomCV`. Creates a custom resampling split
  based on the levels of a user-provided factor variable.
* New argument `encapsulate` for `resample()` and `benchmark()` to conveniently
  enable encapsulation and also set the fallback learner to the
  featureless learner. This is simply for convenience, configuring each learner
  individually is still possible and allows a more fine-grained control (#634,
  #642).
* New field `parallel_predict` for `Learner` to enable parallel predictions via
  the future backend. This currently is only enabled while calling the
  `$predict()` or `$predict_newdata` methods and is disabled during `resample()`
  and `benchmark()` where you have other means to parallelize.
* Deprecated public (and already documented as internal) field `$data` in
  `ResampleResult` and `BenchmarkResult` to simplify the API and avoid
  confusion. The converter `as.data.table()` can be used instead to access the
  internal data.
* Measures now have formal hyperparameters. A popular example where this is
  required is the F1 score, now implemented with customizable `beta`.
* Changed default of argument `ordered` in `Task$data()` from `TRUE` to `FALSE`.
* Fixed getter `ResamplingRepeatedCV$folds()` (#643).
* Fixed hashing of some measures.
* Removed experimental column role `uri`. This role be split up into multiple
  roles by the `mlr3keras` package.
* Update paramtest to error on extra parameters


# mlr3 0.11.0

* Added a `as.data.table.Resampling` method.
* Renamed column `"row_id"` to `"row_ids"` in the `as.data.table()` methods
  for `PredictionClassif` and `PredictionRegr` (#547).
* Added converters `as_prediction_classif()` and `as_prediction_regr()` to
  reverse the operation of `as.data.table.PredictionClassif()` and
  `as.data.table.PredictionRegr()`.
* Specifying a weight column during `learner$predict_newdata()` is not mandatory
  anymore (#563).
* `Task$data()` defaults to return only active rows and columns, instead of
  asserting to only return rows and columns. As a result, the `$data()` method
  can now also be used to query inactive rows and cols from the `DataBackend`.
* New (experimental) column role `uri` which is intended to point to external
  resources, e.g.  images on the file system.
* New helper `set_threads()` to control the number of threads during calls to
  external packages. All objects will be migrated to have threading disabled in
  their defaults to avoid conflicting parallelization techniques (#605).
* New option `mlr3.debug`: avoid calls to `future` in `resample()` and
  `benchmark()` to improve the readability of tracebacks.
* New experimental option `mlr3.allow_utf8_names`: allow non-ascii characters in
  column names in tasks.


# mlr3 0.10.0

* Result containers `ResampleResult` and `BenchmarkResult` now optionally remove
  the DataBackend of the Tasks in order to reduce file size and memory
  footprint after serialization.  To remove the backends from the containers,
  set `store_backends` to `FALSE` in `resample()` or `benchmark()`,
  respectively. Note that this behavior will eventually will be the default for
  future releases.
* Prediction objects generated by `Learner$predict_newdata()` now have row ids
  starting from 1 instead auto incremented row ids of the training task.
* `as.data.table.DictionaryTasks` now returns an additional column `properties`.
* Added flag `conditions` to `ResampleResult$score()` and
  `BenchmarkResult$score()` to allow to work with failing learners more
  conveniently.

# mlr3 0.9.0

* New methods for `Task`: `$set_col_roles` and `$set_row_roles` as a replacement
  for the deprecated and less flexible `$set_col_role` and `$set_row_role`.

* Removed S3 method `friedman.test.BenchmarkResult()` in favor of the new
  `mlr3benchmark` package.

  [Prediction] objects.
* Compatibility with new version of `lgr`.

# mlr3 0.7.0

* Updated properties of featureless learners to apply it on all feature types
  (did not work on POSIXct columns).
* Fixed measures being calculated as `NaN` for `BenchmarkResult` for resamplings
  with a single iteration (#551).
* Fixed a bug where a broken heuristic disabled nested parallelization via
  package `future` (mlr3tuning#270).

  the experiment results. Manual construction is still possible with helper
  function `as_result_data()`
* Fixed deep cloning of `ResamplingCV` and `ResamplingRepeatedCV`.
* New measure `classif.prauc` (area under precision-recall curve).
* Removed dependency on orphaned package `bibtex`.

# mlr3 0.6.0

* Compact in-memory representation of R6 objects to save space when
  saving objects via `saveRDS()` or `serialize()`.

  correctly stored as ordered factors.
* Added a new utility function `convert_task()`.

# mlr3 0.5.0

* Added classification task `breast_cancer`
* Added `ResamplingLOO` for leave-one-out resampling.
* Regression now supports predict type `"distr"` using the `distr6` package.

* Fixed plot method of `TaskGeneratorMoons`.
* Added hyperparameter `keep_model` to learners `"classif.rpart"` and
  `"regr.rpart"`.

# mlr3 0.4.0

* Added new task generators (`"cassini"`, `"circle"`, `"simplex"`, `"spirals"`,
  and `"moons"`).
* Columns in tasks generated by task generators have been renamed to be more
  consistent.
* Added a `plot()` method for most task generators.
* Corrected data in task `german_credit` (#514).

# mlr3 0.3.0

* Package `future.apply` is now imported (instead of suggested).
  This is necessary to ensure reproducibility: This way exactly the same result
  is calculated, independent of the parallel backend.
* Fixed a bug where prediction on new data for a task with blocking information
  raised an exception (#496).
* New binding: `Task$order`.

# mlr3 0.2.0

* Added new measures `classif.bbrier` (binary Brier score) and `classif.mbrier`
  (multi-class Brier score).
* Added new Resampling: `ResamplingInsample`.
* Added base class for unsupervised tasks: `TaskUnsupervised`.

# mlr3 0.1.8

* Added S3 methods to combine `ResampleResult`s and `BenchmarkResult`s with
  `c()`.
* Fixed a bug where automatic generation of row ids could lead to duplicated ids
  via `Task$predict_newdata()`/`Task$rbind()` (#423).

# mlr3 0.1.7

* Switched to new `roxygen2` documentation format for R6 classes.

* `resample()` and `benchmark()` now support progress bars via the package
  `progressr`.

* Row ids now must be numeric. It was previously allowed to have character row
  ids, but this lead to confusion and unnecessary code bloat. Row identifiers
  (e.g., to be used in plots) can still be part of the task, with row role
  `"name"`.

* Row names can now be queried with `Task$row_names`.

* `DataBackendMatrix` now supports to store an optional (numeric) dense part.

* Added new method `$filter()` to filter `ResampleResult`s to a subset of
  iterations.

* Removed deprecated `character()` -> object converters.

* Empty test sets are now handled separately by learners (#421). An empty
  prediction object is returned for all learners.

* The internal train and predict function of `Learner` now should be implemented
  as private method: instead of public methods `train_internal` and
  `predict_internal`, private methods `.train` and `.predict` are now
  encouraged.

* It is now encouraged to move some internal methods from public to private:
  - `Learner$train_internal` should now be private method `$.train`.
  - `Learner$predict_internal` should now be private method `$.predict`.
  - `Measure$score_internal` should now be private method `$.score`.
  The public methods will be deprecated in a future release.

* Removed arguments from the constructor of measures `classif.debug` and
  `classif.costs`. These can be set directly by `msr()`.


# mlr3 0.1.6

* We have published an article about mlr3 in the Journal of Open Source
  Software: <https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.01903>.
  See `citation("mlr3")` for the citation info.

* New method `Learner$reset()`.

* New method `BenchmarkResult$filter()`.

* Learners returned by `BenchmarkResult$learners` are reset to encourage the
  safer alternative `BenchmarkResult$score()` to access trained models.

* Fix ordering of levels in `PredictionClassif$set_threshold()` (triggered an
  assertion).


# mlr3 0.1.5

* Switched from package `Metrics` to package `mlr3measures`.

* Measures can now calculate all scores using micro or macro averaging (#400).

* Measures can now be configured to return a customizable performance score
  (instead of `NA`) in case the score cannot be calculated.

* Character columns are now treated differently from factor columns.
  In the long term, `character()` columns are supposed to store text.

* Fixed a bug triggered by integer grouping variables in `Task` (#396).

* `benchmark_grid()` now accepts instantiated resamplings under certain
  conditions.

# mlr3 0.1.4

* `Task$set_col_roles()` and `Task$set_row_roles()` are now deprecated.
  Instead it is recommended for now to work with the lists `Task$col_roles` and
  `Task$row_roles` directly.

* `Learner$predict_newdata()` now works without argument `task` if the learner
  has been fitted with `Learner$train()` (#375).

* Names of column roles have been unified (`"weights"`, `"label"`,
  `"stratify"` and `"groups"` have been renamed).

* Replaced `MeasureClassifF1` with `MeasureClassifFScore` and fixed a bug in the
  F1 performance calculation (#353). Thanks to @001ben for reporting.

* Stratification is now controlled via a task column role (was a parameter of
  class `Resampling` before).

* Added a S3 `predict()` method for class `Learner` to increase
  interoperability with other packages.

* Many objects now come with a `$help()` which opens the respective manual page.


# mlr3 0.1.3

* It is now possible to predict and score results on the training set or on both
  training and test set.
  Learners can be instructed to predict on multiple sets by setting
  `predict_sets` (default: `"test"`). Measures operate on all sets specified in
  their field `predict_sets` (default: `"test"`).

* `ResampleResult$prediction` and `ResampleResult$predictions()` are now methods
  instead of fields, and allow to extract predictions for different predict
  sets.

* `ResampleResult$performance()` has been renamed to `ResampleResult$score()`
  for consistency.

* `BenchmarkResult$performance()` has been renamed to `BenchmarkResult$score()`
  for consistency.

* Changed API for (internal) constructors accepting `paradox::ParamSet()`.
  Instead of passing the initial values separately, the initial values must now
  be set directly in the `ParamSet`.


# mlr3 0.1.2

* Deprecated support of automatically creating objects from strings.
  Instead, `mlr3` provides the following helper functions intended to ease the
  creation of objects stored in dictionaries:
  `tsk()`, `tgen()`, `lrn()`, `rsmp()`, `msr()`.

* `BenchmarkResult` now ensures that the stored `ResampleResult`s are in a
  persistent order. Thus, `ResampleResult`s can now be addressed by their
  position instead of their hash.

* New field `BenchmarkResult$n_resample_results`.

* New field `BenchmarkResult$hashes`.

* New method `Task$rename()`.

* New S3 generic `as_benchmark_result()`.

* Renamed `Generator` to `TaskGenerator`.

* Removed the control object `mlr_control()`.

* Removed `ResampleResult$combine()`.

* Removed `BenchmarkResult$best()`.


# mlr3 0.1.1

* Initial upload to CRAN.
