rnpn 1.3.0

Dependency changes

• nnpn no longer depends on the sp or raster packages
• terra is now a suggested dependency and users will be prompted to install it only when it is needed
• rnpn now requires the xml2 package instead of XML
• rnpn now has dplyr as a dependency instead of plyr
• rnpn now uses httr2 instead of httr and curl internally for functions that get observational data
• data download functions now return tibbles instead of data.table objects. rnpn no longer depends on data.table

Changes to function arguments

• npn_phenophase_details() now takes a vector of phenophase IDs rather than a list
• Documented a behavior of npn_species_type() where setting kingdom to NULL returns results for both Plantae and Animalia.
• ... is no longer used for functions that get observational data

Changes to function outputs

• Functions that previously returned data.frame objects now return tibbles. Where they previously returned NULL on errors, they now return empty 0x0 tibbles.
• Missing values returned by download functions are now automatically converted from -9999 to NA
• Missing values returned by npn_stations_by_state() previously returned as the string "emptyvalue" are now returned as NAs.
• npn_groups(use_hierarchy = TRUE) now returns a nested list rather than a tibble with a list-column.
• npn_abundance_categories(), npn_phenophases_by_species(), and npn_get_phenophases_for_taxon() now return tibbles with any list-columns unnested.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug (#42) where returned value of npn_get_agdd_point_data() was inconsistent depending on whether it was cached or not.
