sotkanet 0.10.1 (2024-07-10)

NEW FEATURES

• New functions: sotkanet_cite() for citing datasets (issue #16, PR #17 by @Allaht2) and sotkanet_interactive() for interactively downloading datasets (issue #20, PR #21 by @Allaht2).
• New dependencies / imports: move from using httr package to httr2 package (issue #19, PR #24 by @Allaht2). Other new imports are lubridate, RefManageR, digest, frictionless and magrittr.
• Added new versions for functions GetDataSotkanet, SotkanetRegions, SotkanetIndicators and SotkanetIndicatorMetadata. The new version are called get_sotkanet, sotkanet_regions, sotkanet_indicators and sotkanet_indicator_metadata. The old versions of different functions are kept without deprecation messages or warnings, but users are gently encouraged to use the new functions (issue #18, PR #25 by @Allaht2)
• Functions get_sotkanet, sotkanet_regions, sotkanet_indicators and sotkanet_indicator_metadata have support for caching (issue #14, PR #21 by @Allaht2). They also now support English and Swedish in addition to Finnish (issue #9, PR #21 by @Allaht2). *get_sotkanet can return a frictionless datapackage with metadata added in (issue #15, PR #21 by @Allaht2).

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Remove dependencies / imports: httr and jsonlite
• Removed function try_GET

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Updated vignette and README to use new versions of the functions. Old vignette is retained.
• Added Finnish version of the vignette as an article (issue #10, PR #24 by @Allaht2).
• Moved from using PascalCase naming convention to using snake_case for new functions (issue #18).
• Function get_sotkanet() has default years value of NULL that gives the data from all the available years for the dataset (issue #12, PR #24 by @Allaht2).
• The default value for genders is now c("male", "female", "total") (issue #22, PR #24 by @Allaht2).
• New region.category supported by the API, YTA (“yhteistyöalue”) now mentioned in relevant function documentation (PR #26 by @Allaht2)

sotkanet 0.9.79 (2022-02-01)

NEW FEATURES

• Functions pointing to external resources (sotkanet.json_query() and sotkanet.csv_query()) should now fail gracefully. New internal functions are in R/http_funs.R
• New dependencies / imports: httr package for handling URLs and error messages and curl package for internet connection testing. jsonlite for handling data from json files
• Http functions now include information on user agent. The default is “rOpenGov/sotkanet” to help API providers track package usage but it can be changed in relevant functions: GetDataSotkanet(), SotkanetIndicators() and SotkanetRegions().

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Removed internal functions: GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicator and SotkanetData.
• Removed dependency / import: rjson
• Deleted unused function: base_url

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Functionalities from GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicator and SotkanetData are now embedded in one function, GetDataSotkanet().
• Some files in ./R/ folder have been renamed for better legibility: internal.R to SotkanetCollect.R and sotkanet.R to SotkanetRegions.R
• New alias for downloading indicator metadata: SotkanetIndicatorMetadata() (usesSotkanetIndicator(id))
• To help save bandwidth, when provided with a predefined list of indicators, SotkanetIndicators() now downloads metadata individually instead of fetching and subsetting the whole indicator dataset.
• Vignette will no longer fetch external resources on CRAN.
• Package license clarified: BSD 2-clause instead of FreeBSD
