Changes in version 2.0.0 (2026-06-17)                  

This is a major release and breaks backwards compatibility with
version 1.x.x series code.

Changes:

  - Introduced a results data model definition csv file in line with
    other OHDSI HADES analytics packages
  - Removal of use of remotes for Eunomia
  - Creation of results data model sql for analysis in database
  - Export of large result sets from database with export managers
  - Calibration of effect estimates now computed with
    EmpiricalCalibration package
  - Storing risk window statistics is no longer an optional parameter
  - Removed support for CDM versions < 5.0 (and no longer includes check
    or parameter)
  - 
This release implements revised diagnostics aligned with
SelfControlledCaseSeries package standards.

Breaking Changes:

  - Diagnostic names and thresholds have changed to match SCCS standards
  - Old diagnostics (counts, window_balance, cohort_stability,
    pre_exposure) have been removed
  - getDefaultDiagnosticThresholds() now returns different threshold
    names

New study Diagnostic functions

  - MDRR - Minimum Detectable Relative Risk (power analysis)
  - PRE_EXPOSURE_PROPORTION - Tests for outcomes before exposure start
  - PRE_EXPOSURE_P_VALUE - Statistical test for pre-exposure gain
  - EASE expected absolute systematic error, observed residual bias
  - EVENT_DEPENDENT_OBSERVATION - what percentage of events occur just
    before the observation period ends?

Changes:

  - Revised diagnostic framework to align with SCCS package
  - Added power analysis (MDRR) diagnostic
  - Added pre-exposure gain detection
  - Removed design-related diagnostics (window balance, cohort
    stability)
  - Updated diagnostic thresholds to match SCCS standards
  - Improved diagnostic result formatting with values in failure
    messages

                        Changes in version 1.6.0                        

Changes:

  - Removed support for older versions of DatabaseConnector (< 5.0.0)
  - Deprecated usage of oracleTempSchema in favour of
    tempEmulationSchema
  - Allow calls to run with a DatabaseConnector connection object
  - No longer supports undocumented use of connectionDetails$conn for
    storing connections when calling runSelfControlledCohort
  - Added function computeSccRiskWindows to allow computation of
    exposure risk windows without having to run full SCC analysis
  - Storage of results (before rate ratios are computed) now in a
    results table.
  - Storage of time at risk results no longer merged with estimates
  - Added tests on sqlite for faster unit testing while working on
    development
  - Added testing on redshift
  - Use of DatabaseConnector::renderTranslateQueryApplyBatched allowing
    optional callbacks for working with large data sets (too large for
    memory)
  - Added computation of conventional p-values to results

                        Changes in version 1.5.1                        

Changes:

  - Added support for github actions and removed travis configuration
  - Added computeTarDistribution flag to runSelfControlledCohort, which
    computes the distribution of exposure time windows for subjects
    experiencing the outcome and average absolute time between exposure
    and outcome.
  - Added vignette for usage with some examples

Bug Fixes:

  - Fixed issue with DatabaseConnector v 4.0.0 connectionDetails object
    on osx and linux caused by usage of connectionDetails$conn for
    storage of a connection
