# REDCapCAST 23.3.1
### New name: REDCapCAST
To reflect new functions and the limitation to only working in R, I have changed the naming of the fork, while still, of course, maintaining the status as a fork.
The versioning has moved to a monthly naming convention.
### Functions:
* `read_redcap_tables()` **NEW**: this function is mainly an implementation of the combined use of `REDCapR::readcap_read()` and `REDCap_split()` to maintain the focused nature of `REDCapR::readcap_read()`, to only download the specified data. Also implements tests of valid form names and event names. The usual fall-back solution was to get all data.
* `redcap_wider()` **NEW**: this function pivots the long data frames from `read_redcap_tables()` using `tidyr::pivot_wider()`.
* `focused_metadata()` **NEW**: a hidden helper function to enable a focused data acquisition approach to handle only a subset of metadata corresponding to the focused dataset.
