stepmetrics 1.1.0

• Features: Added support for idloc = NULL, i.e., the entire file basename is used as ID.
• Fix: Resolved file matching failure for GGIR output when IDs (now GGIR-identified ID is used)

stepmetrics 1.0.3 (2025-10-01)

• Tests: hardened timestamp checks to be robust across platforms (Windows, macOS ARM, Linux). Added cross-platform ISO-8601 parser that correctly handles Z and hh:mm offsets.
• CI: added macOS ARM (Apple Silicon) checks via R-hub v2 to reproduce CRAN’s environment.

stepmetrics 1.0.2

• Fix: preserve local clock time when parsing timestamps from CSV/AGD. Previously, times could shift on systems using a different TZ (e.g., UTC). Timestamps are now consistently emitted in ISO-8601 with the local offset.
• Tests: make readFile() tests timezone-stable.
• Docs: clarify timezone behavior in ?readFile.
