EML 2.0.6

• Improved performance of shiny_attribtues by caching calls to units::valid_udunits_prefixes (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/332). This should dramatically improve performance of the Shiny application for certain use cases.
• Changed how set_taxonomicCoverage works to follow the EML schema’s guidance on handling species names (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/328). Species named are now stored as-is rather than split into genus and species.
• Extended set_taxonomicCoverage when called with expand=TRUE to support multiple values (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/pull/329)
• Fixed a minor typographical issue in the Working with Units vignette (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/commit/eb1604817809d2cbea5405ed6909c0e046e31a3e)
• Modified how set_attributes sets storageType on numeric columns so it will accept integer when provided by the user while still defaulting to float (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/324)
• Extends get_attributes, set_attributes, and shiny_attributes to support attribute-level semantic annotations (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/318)
• The test suite will now skip tests dependent on taxadb when it’s not installed (See https://github.com/ropensci/EML/issues/320)

EML 2.0.5

• migrate upstream namespace changes units::as.units -> units::as_units

EML 2.0.4

• bugfix for CRAN testing

EML 2.0.3

• Note recent improvements to validation have been inherited through the release of emld 0.5.0, package dependency now requires upgrading emld as well.
• Fixed a bug in set_attributes causing an error when specifying an interval measurementScale. (#293)
• Updated test suite to account for the switch from taxize to taxadb
• Updated test suite to match recent changes in emld 0.5.0 regarding unit definitions (See https://github.com/ropensci/emld/issues/56)

EML 2.0.2

• minor bugfix to documentation
• Moves to taxadb in place of taxize for optional species classification
• Note recent improvements to validation have been inherited through the release of emld 0.4.0, package dependency now requires upgrading emld as well.

EML 2.0.1

• Improve error message for get_attributes (#286)
• Avoid ifelse() for portability (#283)
• Avoid edge case that can create invalid EML in set_taxonomicNames() (#280)
• Add documentation regarding the use of dimensionless units (#276)
• Avoid test errors on systems for which pandoc cannot be installed (#290)

EML 2.0.0

• EML 2.0.0 is a ground-up rewrite of EML 1.x package. The primary difference is that EML 2.0.0 is built on S3 (list) objects instead of S4 object system. This makes the package interface easier to use and extend. Under the hood, this approach relies on the emld package, which uses a JSON-LD representation of EML which provides a natural translation into the list-based format.

  While most high level functions for creating EML have been preserved, the change to S3 means that this package will not be backwards-compatible with many scripts which relied on the S4 system.

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
