Reorganize the data (dplyr or other packages?)
We previously used the term retired to suggest that the package is taking it easy and relaxing, but isn't dead. This causes a lot of confusion so we now call this state "superseded" ? we'll continue to keep reshape2 (and reshape!) on CRAN, but they won't receive any new features, and we believe that there are now better approaches to solving the same problem.

Thanks for this information Thierry. I was not aware. The author of the packages is Hadley Wickham. He writes on Github that he does plan to make changes necessary to keep the package available on CRAN. On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 11:23 AM Thierry Onkelinx <thierry.onkelinx at inbo.be> wrote:
Yes. However reshape2 is a retired package. The author recommends to use his new package tidyr. ir.

Alternatively, melt() from the reshape2 package.
library(reshape2)
melt(x,id.vars="date",measure.vars=c("down","uc","up"),variable.name
="direction",value.name="percentage")

Is there any quick way (dplyr?) to arrange the data
