suwo 0.2.1

Minor changes

• Added images, audio player and video player to the popups of map_locations() for better visualization of media types.

suwo 0.2.0

Major changes

• Refactored all HTTP requests to rely more consistently on httr2, including:
  • Use of req_url_query() instead of manual URL string concatenation.
  • Use of resp_body_json() where applicable.
• Unified argument order across all query_*() functions for a more consistent user interface.
• Default media format changed from "sound" to "image" where applicable.
• Global options are now namespaced with suwo_ to avoid conflicts (e.g. suwo_verbose, suwo_format).
• Improved pagination and request robustness for GBIF, WikiAves, Xeno-Canto, and iNaturalist queries.
• Progress reporting refactored to use cli instead of pbapply.
• Migrated roxygen documentation to Markdown syntax.
• Reformatted the codebase using air, with a GitHub Actions workflow to enforce formatting.
• Dropped unused or unnecessary dependencies (methods, viridis), updated minimum R version to ≥ 4.0.0, and moved vignette-only packages to Suggests.
• Replaced mc.cores option with suwo_cores to allow users to set parallelization consistently across suwo functions within an R session.

API keys & security

• Xeno-Canto API keys are now read exclusively from environment variables via Sys.getenv("xc_api_key").
• Removed encouragement of API keys being passed directly in function calls or stored in options.

Validation & robustness

• Added stricter input validation:
  • Enforced single-species queries where required.
  • Improved error handling for incorrect inputs to remove_duplicates().
• Metadata records without associated media URLs are now stored as an attribute of the returned data frame instead of global options.
• Improved handling of duplicated media records and clarified their interpretation in documentation.
• Replaced usage of methods::is() with inherits().

Documentation & usability

• Expanded vignette explanations, including clearer alt text for figures.
• Clarified licensing and responsibility for commercial use of retrieved data.
• Improved guidance for handling duplicated records.
• README rendering is now triggered only when README.Rmd changes.

Testing & maintenance

• Cleaned up test infrastructure and fixed Codecov integration.
• Removed duplicated .onLoad() definitions.
• Simplified internal code by removing unnecessary paste() calls and replacing seq_len(length()) with seq_along().

suwo 0.1.0

• First release

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.
