Changes in version 1.20.0 Bug fixes and minor improvements - Avoid dropping experiments with repeated calls to subsetByColData and remove harmonization (@cvanderaa, #302) - getWithColData suppresses messages from natural subsetting operations by default with verbose = FALSE (@bhagwataditya, #301) - getWithColData was using the old default (drop = TRUE) and causing an error when the experiment is empty (@danielinteractive, #300). - Calls to the internal .harmonize operation are reduced to increase memory efficiency, when identical experiment colnames present (@LTLA, #299). - subsetByColData now errors on subscript vectors longer than the nrow of the colData (previously a warning). - colData<- includes a check for identical row names. If so, direct replacement of the colData occurs without harmonization. - Added a warning when an empty sampleMap is provided in the constructor function which may cause unexpected behavior.
