enviGCMS 0.9.1

New features and improvements

• HORIZON Engine for formula decomposition: Introduce the native HORIZON (Heavy-first Ordered Recursive Inference with Zero-loop Optimal Navigation) engine, completely eliminating the legacy dependency on Bioconductor’s Rdisop and imslib. Provides microsecond-level mass decomposition via heavy-element priority ordering, double-sided mass horizon pruning, and O(1) analytical leaf solving.
• Fiehn Seven Golden Rules: Integrate full heuristic chemical validation rules (Kind & Fiehn 2007) including Senior’s valence rules (Senior 1951), Hydrogen-to-Carbon (H/C) ratio bounds, heteroatom ratios (N/C, O/C, P/C, S/C, Halogen/C), and Double Bond Equivalents (DBE). Added exported function checkGoldenRules().
• Modern scoring metrics: Added scoreIsotopes() computing Cosine similarity (unweighted spectral dot product), weighted dot product (MassBank/NIST style), and multinomial log-likelihood between experimental and theoretical isotopic distributions.
• High-resolution instrument modeling: Added instrument resolution (\(R = m/\text{FWHM}\)) and FWHM-based isotope peak merging, accurately modeling Orbitrap, Q-TOF, and FT-ICR isotopic profiles.
• Batch vectorization and parallel computing: Implemented vectorized and OpenMP multi-threaded mass decomposition (rcpp_decompose_masses()), enabling high-throughput chemical formula decomposition of thousands of features in fractions of a second. getformula() now supports vectorized input and multi-threading via nthreads.

Bug fixes

• Fix getisotopologues(): resolve variable shadowing and indexing bugs in isotopologue pair selection, correct relative abundance calculations, and introduce cutoff parameter (default 0.05) with automatic fallback for molecules with few isotopic peaks.

Documentation and maintenance

• Clean up documentation and references across manual pages, fixing trailing punctuation in titles and resolving non-ASCII character warnings.
• Update documentation for HRMF(), cleanMGF(), and getisotopologues() to reflect the internal C++ formula engine instead of external package dependencies.
• Ensure all exported functions have complete and valid Rd documentation.

enviGCMS 0.9.0

Breaking changes

• Remove all deprecated functions from v0.7.x (32 functions including getdata, getdata2, getmzrt2, svabatch, svaplot, etc.). Users should migrate to current API.
• Remove Mode() (statistical mode function) – unused internally since getmdg() moved to pmd package.
• Standardize API naming conventions:
  • Intensity column renamed from ins to intensity in getMSP() and writeMSP() spectra data.frames.
  • Rename Integration() to integration(), GetIntegration() to getintegration(), Getisotopologues() to getisotopologues() for consistent lowercase naming.

New features (merged from MSxplorer)

• Add HRMF() for high-resolution mass filtering with forward/reverse scoring and Figure of Merit (FoM), based on Kwiecien et al. (2015). Uses Rdisop instead of rcdk/rJava – no new hard dependencies.
• Add getHRMF() for batch HRMF processing of entire MSP files.
• Add adduct argument to HRMF()/getHRMF() for ESI adduct ions ([M+H]+, [M+Na]+, [M+NH4]+, [M+K]+, [M+H-H2O]+, [M-H]-, [M+Cl]-, [M+HCOO]-, [M+CH3COO]-, or user-defined named mass deltas); fragment m/z are converted internally and scores gain an Adduct column.
• Add cleanMGF() to clean MGF files by keeping only fragment peaks explainable as sub-formulae of the best precursor formula candidate (derived from PEPMASS/CHARGE and the supplied adduct); the chosen formula is stored as a FORMULA= header.
• Add plotEIC() for extracted ion chromatogram plotting from mzML/mzXML files using RaMS.
• Add plotTopMS1Peaks() interactive Shiny app to extract top MS1 ions from MS2 chromatograms.
• Add plotTopMS2Peaks() interactive Shiny app to extract top MS2 ions from MS1 chromatograms.

Bug fixes

• Fix getmdh(): cbind.data.frame(mz, MD1, MD1) corrected to cbind.data.frame(mz, MD1, MD2) for ceiling method.
• Fix HRMF(): remove a doubled electron-mass shift (about 0.55 mDa bias) in the decomposeMass() query, and fall back to all candidates when Rdisop’s parity filter rejects every sub-formula for a peak (the closed-shell molecular formula was never annotated at charge +/-1).
• Fix runMDPlot(): filename case mismatch (MDPlot.rmd -> mdplot.Rmd).
• Fix getdoe(): sum(NROW(lv) > 1) != 0 (always TRUE) corrected to NROW(lv) > 1.
• Fix getMSP(): extract duplicated peak-parsing code into internal helper.
• Fix getmzrtcsv(): remove broken cross-reference to deleted getmzrt.
• Fix integration(): RT/noise window subsetting compared > upper & < lower (always empty), corrected to > lower & < upper so the function returns a real peak area.
• Fix getmdh(): floor method with more than three units assigned to MD1_3 instead of MD3, causing an “object ‘MD3’ not found” error.
• Fix getintegration(): m <= 2 branch referenced an undefined t and mis-parenthesised the per-scan delta_t; now computes (last - first) / (n - 1).
• Fix findlipid(): mode branch logic was inverted – pos/neg applied no adduct correction while the neutral branch held an unreachable ifelse. pos now corrects [M+H]+ and neg corrects [M-H]- to neutral mass; none is unchanged.
• Fix gifmr(): default imputation = "i" was not a valid getimputation() method (silently skipped imputation); changed to "l".
• Register c.mzrt() as an S3 method so c() dispatches on mzrt objects.
• getcsv(): warn instead of silently doing nothing when type contains none of m/a/p/o.
• Remove dead code in getpn() (two discarded subset expressions).

Dependency changes

• Move animation from Imports to Suggests (only used by gifmr()).
• Move mixtools from Imports to Suggests (only used by getimputation()).
• Add RaMS to Suggests for lightweight mzML/mzXML access (replaces MSnbase).
• Hard Imports reduced from 11 to 8 packages.

Code quality

• Add unit tests across 10 test files (was 1 test), including regression tests for the bug fixes above.
• Refactor HRMF() from 285-line monolith into 135-line function with 4 internal helpers.
• Remove 809 lines of dead deprecated code and 35 orphan man pages.
