• Added an axe_fitted() method to butcher the template slot for prepped recipes (@AshesITR, #207).

butcher 0.1.5 (2021-06-28)

• Added an axe_env() method to remove the terms environment for recipe steps. This covers most recipe steps, but certain steps still need more specific methods (@juliasilge, #193).

butcher 0.1.3 (2021-03-04)

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where axing a parsnip 'model_fit' would return the underlying model object rather than the altered 'model_fit'.

• Fixed a few test failures related to changes in parsnip (#157).

butcher 0.1.2 (2020-01-23)

Fixes

• Examples for C50 objects were updated to reflect data files were now located in modeldata.

butcher 0.1.1 (2020-01-07)

Fixes

• modeldata was added as a dependency since the data files required for testing axe methods on models objects instantiated for testing were moved into this library.
• glmnet was removed as a dependency since the new version depends on 3.6.0 or greater. Keeping it would constrain butcher to that same requirement. All glmnet tests are run locally.

butcher 0.1.0 (2019-08-09)

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
