Changelog • ASAP

ASAP 0.3.5 (2026-03-27)

create_bout_clips(), create_motif_clips(): Added new workflows for exporting curated bout- and motif-level audio clips as WAV or HDF5 files, with support for metadata export, amplitude normalization, sampling, source-aware clip naming, and a new margin parameter for expanding bout boundaries before export.
denoise(): Added audio denoising for single WAV files and SAP objects using spectral median subtraction or spectral gating.
Added a comprehensive song clip exporting vignette with end-to-end examples for compression, filtered-bout export, and motif-level clip extraction.

parallel_apply(): Improved parallel processing efficiency on Linux and Windows by reusing PSOCK workers and explicitly loading the ASAP namespace on workers to avoid repeated startup overhead.
detect_template(), denoise(), find_bout(), segment(): Fixed multi-core processing issues by adopting the updated PSOCK workflow, and suppressed C-level fontconfig warnings during template matching on Linux.
Refined clip export validation and internal documentation, including motif filtering, time-boundary checks, and CRAN portability cleanups.

template_clips(): Added feature for automated acoustic template matching.
plot_traces(), plot_clusters(): Expanded visualization capabilities with new plot types and arguments.
Added comprehensive longitudinal analysis vignette tutorials for bout detection, motif detection, syllable segmentation, and syllable labeling.
Built a new pkgdown website with improved navigation and flowchart logic.

auto_label(), manual_label(): Refined workflows, fixed dplyr variable scoping errors, and improved argument naming (label_type = "auto" and "manual").
Cleaned up argument typos and reorganized default NAMESPACE imports.
