bdc 1.1.4

• Adaptation of the databases to the latest version of {taxadb} (0.2.0), temporarily discontinuing the tpl, fb and iucn databases (see here).

• bdc_query_names_taxadb() now informs the database provider and its version and does not create Output directory when export_accepted=FALSE.

bdc 1.1.3

• bdc_standardize_datasets now throws an error when dataset names defined in the metadata file are not unique.

• Fix minor bug in bdc_coordinates_country_inconsistent() (see: 5c4e0aa).

• {countrycode} and {rangeBuilder} dependencies were removed. Country names now are derived from Stefan Gabos repository following the ISO 3166-1 standard.

• {bdc} wins the Ebbe Nielsen Challenge GBIF 2022 (see links below)!

• Fix database version in taxadb::td_create inside the bdc_query_names_taxadb.
• Remove deprecated dplyr::mutate_all by dplyr::across in the bdc_coordinates_empty.
• Improve tests for bdc_coordinates_empty.
• Little refactor in bdc_clean_names fixing CRAN issues with encoding characters (hiding characters into a file and reading them when needed).

bdc 1.1.1

• bdc_country_from_coordinates now filter out countries with no data (NA).
• Fix a minor issue of bdc_clean_names character encoding on debian-clang CRAN server.

bdc 1.1.0

• Bugfix in bdc_country_from_coordinates() reported in #209.
• New argument added to function bdc_coordinates_country_inconsistent
• Improve tests
• Add messages when no data is available to create figures and report
• bdc_coordinates_from_locality: adding an error message when there is no column named locality
• bdc_country_from_coordinates: adding a message when there are no records missing country names. Avoiding returning a NULL object.
• bdc_create_report: adding coordinates transposed to the report; improve test and the message returned
• bdc_clean_names: adding code to remove strange characters (e.g., accents) from names, and returning a message when these characters were not automatically removed.
• Remove the first column (id) of interactive tables in vignettes
• Add rlang (>= 1.0.1) to suggestion in the DESCRIPTION file
• bdc_coordinates_transposed: avoid error when a column “.summary” is already present in the provided dataset
• bdc_standardize_datasets: convert all columns to characters before merging datasets. Added a message to indicate which column names of the dataset were not founded in the configuration table (metadata).

bdc 1.0.0
