Rduckhts 1.1.6.9000-0.0.2 (Development version)

  • Fix Wasm package builds under rwasm / r-universe: the package configure script now preserves injected NAME=VALUE cache overrides, forwards explicit --build / --host triplets into the vendored htslib ./configure, forwards webR’s Emscripten port flags for zlib/bzip2, seeds wasm-safe Autoconf cache results for zlib/bzip2/socket probes, injects a tiny Emscripten-only socket compatibility shim for recv/send/closesocket, and disables only the optional htslib features that are not available in the stock webR/r-universe wasm toolchain (libcurl, S3, GCS, lzma, plugins); this fixes the original ac_cv_func_getrandom=no: command not found failure and the subsequent nested htslib cross-compile probe failures without changing native configure behavior.
  • Fix bundled extension wasm artifacts: the upstream CMake wasm build now rebuilds libduckhts.a as a fat archive containing vendored htslib (and any static archive dependencies CMake can see), so DuckDB wasm packaging no longer depends on extension-ci-tools changes just to avoid unresolved symbols such as bcf_readrec at LOAD.

Rduckhts 1.1.6-0.0.2 (2026-04-09)

CRAN release: 2026-04-09

  • Fix test_bam_file_offset: cast COUNT(*) results to INTEGER in SQL so the DuckDB driver returns R integer rather than numeric (BIGINT maps to double in the duckdb R driver), restoring expect_identical assertions.

Rduckhts 1.1.6-0.0.1 (2026-04-09)

  • Fix bundled read_hts_index_spans(...) / rduckhts_hts_index_spans(): the span view now returns real chunk rows from CSI/TBI/BAI indexes, including populated bin, chunk_beg_vo, chunk_end_vo, chunk_bytes, seq_start, and seq_end values instead of placeholder NAs; BCF-backed calls also avoid the previous noisy tbx probe warning on .csi indexes.
  • Add FILE_OFFSET column to rduckhts_bam() / read_bam(...): exposes the BGZF virtual file offset after each record. Zero runtime overhead (macro over already-open struct fields). Enables ORDER BY FILE_OFFSET in SQL LAG() / LAST_VALUE() window functions to reproduce exact BAM file order for streaming deduplication algorithms. Together with the // integer-division operator and LAST_VALUE(... IGNORE NULLS), this permits exact replication of WisecondorX’s larp/larp2 state machine in pure SQL, confirmed at 0 mismatches across 25,115 non-zero bins on a real NIPT BAM.

Rduckhts 1.1.5-0.0.1 (2026-04-08)

  • Fix bundled bcftools_liftover(...) / rduckhts_liftover() cache and realignment hardening: per-thread chain/FASTA contexts are now bounded instead of accumulating for the lifetime of worker threads, and scalar left-alignment no longer reuses stale traceback state after failed/empty alignments.
  • Fix bundled read_bam(...) / rduckhts_bam() and read_bcf(...) / rduckhts_bcf() indexed parallel full scans when headers contain leading empty contigs: contig claiming now retries iteratively instead of recursively, and the BAM reader no longer returns an empty chunk after successfully handing off to the next contig.
  • Keep the top-level extension README.Rmd examples aligned with direct extension usage: the extension README now renders its example queries through a custom DuckDB SQL knitr engine instead of R/DBI, and its liftover example uses bundled fixtures rather than temporary R-generated FASTA/chain files.
  • Fix bundled Windows GNU CMake builds: the vendored htslib configure step now distinguishes windows_amd64_mingw from windows_amd64_rtools; the MinGW path keeps the smaller configure.win-style library set, while the Rtools path restores the fuller static libcurl dependency closure required by its htslib feature probes. CURL_STATICLIB remains on the built objects rather than on ./configure test probes.
  • Fix bundled Windows windows_amd64_rtools CMake builds: the upstream extension Makefile now pins CC/AR/RANLIB from R CMD config, avoiding mixed non-Rtools compiler and Rtools library selection when vendored htslib is configured; the vendored htslib CMake path also returns to separate configure/build steps on MinGW for simpler diagnostics and behavior, and MinGW static-libcurl builds now define CURL_STATICLIB to match Rtools libcurl.a.
  • Fix bundled read_bcf(...) / rduckhts_bcf() mapping of fixed-count INFO/FORMAT arrays: exact-cardinality fields such as Number=2 and Number=4 now materialize as DuckDB array/list columns instead of silently dropping all but the first value.
  • Fix bundled read_bcf(...) / rduckhts_bcf() handling of string FORMAT lists such as DRAGEN FORMAT/LAA: Number != 1 string FORMAT fields now materialize as VARCHAR[] instead of triggering DuckDB internal assertion failures.
  • Fix bundled duckdb_munge(...) / rduckhts_munge() multithreaded FASTA lookups: FASTA index handles are now thread-local and FASTA fetches are synchronized in munge, avoiding intermittent fai_retrieve failures and aborts when fasta_ref is used with PRAGMA threads > 1.
  • Add rduckhts_score(): polygenic risk score computation backed by the bcftools +score plugin, supporting GT/DS/HDS/AP/GP/AS dosage modes, all major GWAS summary presets (PLINK, PLINK2, REGENIE, SAIGE, BOLT, METAL, PGS, SSF/GWAS-SSF), GWAS-VCF multi-PRS scoring, p-value thresholding, sample subsetting, and region/filter controls.
  • Add rduckhts_munge(): GWAS summary statistics normalization backed by bcftools +munge, with FASTA reference allele resolution, swap-aware effect/frequency transforms, and METAL meta-analysis column support.
  • Add rduckhts_liftover(): variant coordinate liftover backed by bcftools +liftover using UCSC chain files, with full indel normalization, INFO/END lifting, and MT passthrough.
  • Add rduckhts_bed() for BED3–BED12 interval files and rduckhts_fasta_nuc() for nucleotide composition over BED intervals or fixed-width bins.
  • Add compression and index helpers: rduckhts_bgzip(), rduckhts_bgunzip(), rduckhts_bam_index(), rduckhts_bcf_index(), and rduckhts_tabix_index().
  • Add HTS metadata readers: rduckhts_hts_header(), rduckhts_hts_index(), rduckhts_hts_index_spans(), and rduckhts_hts_index_raw().
  • Add quality encoding controls to rduckhts_bam() and rduckhts_fastq() (quality_representation, input_quality_encoding) and rduckhts_detect_quality_encoding() for heuristic FASTQ encoding detection.
  • Add sequence_encoding := 'nt16' parameter to rduckhts_bam(), rduckhts_fasta(), and rduckhts_fastq() for raw htslib nt16 sequence output as UTINYINT[].
  • Add SAM flag helpers sam_flag_bits() and sam_flag_has(), CIGAR utility functions, and is_forward_aligned().
  • Bundle duckhts 1.1.5 extension.
