# TrialSimulator 1.17.1

## Updates

- Reduce vignette compilation time for CRAN (`doseRanging.Rmd` now loads pre-computed simulation output; `simulatePfsAndOsGumbel.Rmd` uses a smaller validation sample).
- Skip a few stochastic unit tests on CRAN to avoid occasional flakes from RNG variation.

# TrialSimulator 1.17.0

## New Feature

- Add `CorrelatedPfsAndOs2()` to simulate correlated PFS and OS using a Gumbel copula while targeting marginal PFS/OS medians and Kendall's tau between observed, uncensored PFS and OS times.

## Updates

- Add a vignette for simulating correlated PFS and OS using the Gumbel copula method, alongside the existing illness-death model vignette.
- Skip an unnecessary `dplyr::filter()` call in `Trials$get_event_tables()` when no filter expression is provided, reducing total simulation wall time by roughly 5-10% in trials with frequent milestone condition checks.

# TrialSimulator 1.16.0

## New Feature

- Add `n_switches` column to locked data returned by `get_locked_data()`, counting the number of treatment switches per patient within the data lock window.
- Add `expandRegimen()` to expand the `regimen_trajectory` column in locked data into a long-format data frame with one row per regimen segment per patient.

## Updates

- Cut running time by ~75% via base R rewrites. 

# TrialSimulator 1.15.0

## New Feature

- Support stratified permuted block randomization in `trial()` using argument `stratification_factors`. 
- Support `...` in `regimen()` to pass arguments to `what()`, `when()` and `how()`. 

## Bug Fix

- Fix a bug in `regimen()` to support both single or multiple switching. 

# TrialSimulator 1.14.0

## New Feature

- Support multiple rounds of dynamic treatment switching through `regimen()`. 

## Updates

- New implementation that is 55% faster without regimen, or 40% faster with regimen. This is achieved by avoid computing redundant event counts. 

# TrialSimulator 1.13.0

## New Feature

- New implementation of regimen that is 60% faster. 

## Update

- Add a vignette of crossover design with wash-out periods. 

## Bug Fix

- Fix a minor bug displaying incorrect event count when using `enrollment()` to define milestone. This bug does not affect milestone triggering. 

# TrialSimulator 1.12.0

## New Feature

- Support editing trajectory of endpoint over time. 
- Add new argument `tidy` (default: `TRUE`) in `Controllers$run()` to stop computing and saving event count per arm per endpoint for 40% shorter run time. 

# TrialSimulator 1.11.0

## New Feature

- Add function `solvePiecewiseConstantExponentialDistribution()` to compute event rates in time windows given survival probabilities at changepoints. 
- Add `qPiecewiseExponent()`, the quantile function of piecewise exponential distribution. This function is useful to simulate time-to-event endpoint that is correlated to other endpoints using the copula method. For example, the `simdata` package needs marginal quantile functions. 

# TrialSimulator 1.10.0

## New Feature

- Support parallelization in `Controllers$run()` through new argument `n_workers`. The package `mirai` is used. Although `mirai` advocates the use of L'Ecuyer-CMRG streams to maintain independence between multiple streams, however, `TrialSimulator` resets it to be Mersenne-Twister streams to force identical behavior between `n_workers = 1` and `n_workers > 1`. This enables debuggability and reproduciability under single-process mode by setting seed that causes issues under multi-process mode.  

# TrialSimulator 1.9.0

## New Feature

- Support wrapper functions for adaptation, including `remove_arms()`, `add_arms()`, `update_sample_ratio()`, `set_duration()`, `resize()` and `update_generator()`. 
- More informative message is prompted when error is throwed from an action function; milestone's name is printed. 

# TrialSimulator 1.8.0

## New Feature

- Support new adaptation `Trials$resize()` that resizes an ongoing trial. 

# TrialSimulator 1.7.0

## New Feature

- Columns automatically recorded at milestones can be eliminated from `get_output()` by setting new argument `tidy = TRUE`. 

## Minor Updates

- Some minor fixes for CRAN submission. 

# TrialSimulator 1.6.0

## New Feature

- Generator of an endpoint can be updated during a running trial with `Trials$update_generator()`. 

# TrialSimulator 1.5.0

## Update

- `enforce = TRUE` is no longer needed when adding new arms to an existing trial with at least one arm through `Trials$add_arms()`. However, for backward compatibility, legacy codes with `enforce = TRUE` still behaves as expected and no need to update. 

# TrialSimulator 1.4.0

## Update

- Add vignette of dose-ranging study.

# TrialSimulator 1.3.0

## Major Updates

- Action function no longer needs argument `milestone_name`. Now action function only requires argument `trial` and supports optional arguments.

- Documents and vignettes are updated. 

## Minor Updates

- Some minor fixes. 

# TrialSimulator 1.2.0

## New Feature

- `enrollment()` now supports `min_treatment_duration` to ensure minimum treatment duration received by patients at a milestone. With its default value 0, milestone is triggered when a specific number of patients are enrolled. 
- No longer print the return value of action function, thus `invisible(NULL)` is no longer recommended as return value of action function. 

# TrialSimulator 1.1.0

## Update

- Add notes to R6 class indicating public methods that can be used by end users. 
- Update help documents.

# TrialSimulator 1.0.0

## Update

- Fix issues to meet CRAN submission conditions. 

# TrialSimulator 0.97.0

- Fix issues in unit tests caused by new dropout mechanisum. 
- use Bonferroni method in unit test of `update_sample_ratio`. This test is probably broken by randomness (it is okay). 

# TrialSimulator 0.96.0

## Update

- Update mechanism of simulating dropout time. Switching from trial level to patient level, i.e. dropout time is now the time from a patient is enrolled until leaving a trial. This aligns with common practice and popular softwares. 

# TrialSimulator 0.95.0

## Update

- Add vignette of action function. 

# TrialSimulator 0.94.0

## New Feature

- Add function `summarizeMilestoneTime` and its plot method to summarize triggering time of milestones.

- Add a vignette of response-adaptive design using `update_sample_ratio()`. 

# TrialSimulator 0.92.0

## Update

-Add vignette of fixed design. 
-Add vignette of wrapper functions of commom statistical tests.

# TrialSimulator 0.90.0

## New Feature

- Save event counts per arm in simulation output.

## Bug Fix

- Fix a bug that affects functions \code{dunnettTest} and \code{closedTest} when patient recruitment is completed fast thus no sample increment between some milestones. This bug can substantially reduce testing powers.  

# TrialSimulator 0.89.0

## New Feature

- Support `...` in `eventNumber` to count event in subset of trial data. This is useful in enrichment design when milestone is defined based on biomarker.

# TrialSimulator 0.82.0

## New Feature

- The function `fitCoxph` now supports `formula` to compute log hazard ratio or hazard ratio as main effect of `arm`. It will detect whether arm's main effect is specified in formula. It allows covariates and interaction between covariates and arm. However, only the main effect of arm is tested and returned. 
- Add unit tests for `fitCoxph`. 

# TrialSimulator 0.81.0

## New Feature

- The function `fitLogistic` now supports computing log odds ratio, odds ratio, risk ratio, and risk difference using `emmeans` contrast, in the presence of covariates. 
- Add unit tests for `fitLogistic` and `fitLinear`.
