BioCroValidation 0.3.0

Changes in BioCroValidation Version 0.3.0 (2026-03-11)

• Fixed typos in the help page for objective_function, and in the add_norm function (defined in R/objective_function_helpers.R)

• Allowed user-supplied regularization functions

• Allowed driver-specific initial values and parameters

• Errors that occur while running simulations are now caught so they do not prevent an optimization from finishing

• More options for debug_mode are now available; the default setting (minimal) only prints info to the terminal when an issue with a simulation occurs

• Improved formatting of output from write_module, so that initial value and parameter lists are alphabetized, equals signs are aligned, and module names are preserved

• Fixed a bug where calling objective_function with dependent_arg_function = NULL and verbose_mode = TRUE caused an error
