OrgHeatmap 0.3.4 (2026-03-31)

• Fixed an issue where single-digit integer values in the bar chart could not be consistently formatted with trailing zeros (e.g., 5.0). Values are now strictly formatted based on the organbar_digit parameter using sprintf.
  • Added the organbar_text_color parameter to the OrgHeatmap() function, allowing users to customize the color of the text annotations within the bar chart (default is "black").

OrgHeatmap 0.3.3 (2026-03-15)

• Added support for visualizing multiple organ systems simultaneously (e.g., system = c("digestive", "respiratory")).
• Significantly upgraded the built-in human_organ_systems and mouse_organ_systems mapping dictionaries. Introduced advanced physiological classifications including immune and endocrine systems.
• The organ_name_mapping parameter now easily accepts simple named vectors and custom data frames without errors.
• Fixed a bug where some valid organs were incorrectly dropped when filtering by multiple systems.
• Fixed dplyr warning messages caused by mouse body contour rendering.
• Added example_Data4 to demonstrate organelle visualization.

OrgHeatmap 0.3.2 (2025-12-11)

• Fixed the issue where mouse organ contours were incorrectly separated from the body outline; organs now correctly connect to the body silhouette.

OrgHeatmap 0.3.1 (2025-11-26)

• Resubmission to CRAN addressing feedback from the CRAN team.
• CRAN-required changes:
  • Corrected spelling in DESCRIPTION field: fixed "pre", and "supportscustomization"
  • Addressed potential spelling issues by including a WORDLIST file for terms: 'subcellular'
  • Updated Title field to proper title case: "Visualization Tool for Numerical Data on Human/Mouse Organs and Organelles"
  • Removed non-standard file 'organelle_expression_plot.png' from package directory

OrgHeatmap 0.3.0

• Added subcellular organelle visualization support (new visualization type "organelle").
• Integrated subcellular organelle coordinate data to enable plotting of subcellular contours.
• Updated filtering functionality to support organelle type-based filtering (complementary to existing organ system filtering for human/mouse).
• Extended data type compatibility to better support subcellular-level data (e.g., protein abundance in organelles).
• Maintained consistency with existing human/mouse organ visualization workflows while adding organelle-specific options.

OrgHeatmap 0.2.0

• Added mouse organ visualization support (new species "mouse")
• Updated organ system mapping for mouse (mouse_organ_systems)
• Added mouse-specific example data in extdata/

OrgHeatmap 0.1.2 (2025-09-22)

• Resubmission to CRAN addressing feedback from the CRAN team.
• CRAN-required changes:
  • Reformatted the Description field in the DESCRIPTION file to a single continuous paragraph.
  • Added a reference to the methodological preprint: Zhou et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.09.07.506938>.
  • Replaced \dontrun{} with \donttest{} in function examples and unwrapped executable examples as per CRAN policy.

OrgHeatmap 0.1.1

• Initial submission, first release to CRAN.
• Fixed the logic for color parameter validation in the OrgHeatmap() function, resolving the ERROR that caused test failures.
• Added more comprehensive color format checks (Hex codes and color names).
• Rebuilt the LICENSE file.
• Added the .github directory to the .Rbuildignore file as per CRAN policy.

OrgHeatmap 0.1.0

• Initial version released on GitHub.
• Provided the OrgHeatmap() function for drawing organ expression heatmaps.
• Included example datasets and detailed usage documentation.
