Bug Fixes

  - Fixed handling of LIPID MAPS SP notation.
  - Fixed critical bug when parsing LIPID MAPS names.
  - Fixed implicit hydroxy count.
  - Fixed ACer rule for species level.
  - Fixed lcb rule in LipidMaps grammar.
  - Fixed S1P and Sa1P handling.
  - Fixed gangliosides in Goslin grammar.
  - Fixed correct handling of dummy FAs during sorting.
  - Fixed segmentation fault in FA parser event handler.

Changes in 0.99.1

  - The column names within the data frames returned from the parse*
    methods now use column names with dots instead of spaces. This makes
    it easier to use the column names unquoted within other R
    expressions.
  - All parse* methods now return data frames.
  - The Messages column has been added to capture parser messages. If
    parsing succeeds, this will contain NA and Normalized.Name will
    contain the normalized lipid shorthand name.
  - Parser implementations have been updated to reflect the latest lipid
    shorthand nomenclature changes. Please see the Goslin repository for
    more details.
  - Exceptions in the C++ part of the library are captured as warnings
    in R. However, if you parse multiple lipid names, exceptions will
    not stop the parsing process.
